I saw him last night and I was convinced. He will be up in Mtl in no time. He’ll be a MSL and Robidas chouchou for sure.

Reinbacher looks like a stud to me. Might only be a 25-35 point producer, but I can see him turning into one of the best rush defenders in the league and an efficient breakout machine.

I understand what you are trying to convey with this. But he played Prep school hockey and has always been extremely hockey centric.its a 30 game season and not far from the route Casey mittelstadt and nick Bjugstad took
I wasn’t implying that hockey only became his top sport at that age - obviously not the case- but he had played far less high level hockey by that age than most other NHL players have. I still find his ascent impressive.

Oh no question. I was more so clearing it up that he just didn’t “pick it up” at 17 for ethers reading . I knew exactly what you meant. He is a family friend of ours so his ability to step right into nhl action last year was a pleasant surprise for everyone back home.
I'd argue putting him in the AHL implies we're trying to win now, which we're not. Leaving him in the NHL to make mistakes there will hurt the team somewhat, but he'll learn faster.
The problem is Mailloux has not been better than Reinbacher in ANY game they've played together in so far.
He was also not very good in the critical games for Laval last season Reinbacher was.
If management were totally impressed with Logan Mailloux he would have got the top pairing billet when Ghule couldn't go.
Lots of work left for this kid. I wouldn't be surprised if Engstrom passes him on the depth chart down the road.
The only way i would have been happy drafting Michkov os if the intent was to flip CC for a RHD. That would have been the only way it could have worked.
Clearly they chose CC.. DR was the right choice after that.
He'll start in the AHL.
Play top pairing minutes there and probably get called up at some point.

Our players've been extremely sloppy since the Leafs scored.
Passes are "off", there have been a lot of puck touches errors, and we seem to just have a lot less "jump" than the Leafs.
The beginning was somewhat okay, but it's overall not been a good period for us as far as execution goes.

But Mailloux has one year of experience and the other is green. Highly doubt the coach will go with Rein on the first pairing this season. The coach will probably share the TOI.
just give a look at the line-up of both teams, you will understand why they look sloppy

He's gonna need a lot of time to cook in the AHL.
Nowhere near NHL ready.

We actually don’t know. He is 19.
Guhle is practically 3 years older and still has space to get better and round up his game.
Just to show how raw Reinbacher still is and how much his game will evolve in the next 3-4 years.

tbf,
Hughes did say that on the day he drafted him, so he wasn't wrong and he wasn't lying.
Why bother with a Michkov or Leonard or etc, etc, when you can have a sort of big, rangy, 2nd pairing D on your hands.
I’ve seen Reinbacher for a couple games.
I don’t think he’ll have the offensive career that many expects over Matvei Michkov.
I’ve analyze his game, I see a very close resemblance to Brandon Carlo or Colton Parayko.
Both are top 4 defenseman, and if Reinbacher’s game develops, he’ll be more Parayko.
He’s at 6’4” this season and still 19. He should top at 6’4” or 6’5” 220-225lbs.
My guess is David Reinbacher will be a big minute horse on defense for the Canadiens. I think he will be an all situation defenseman. Protecting the lead, shutting down top lines. To me, Reinbacher will be a 25-35 points defenseman. I think he’s a better fit with Kaiden Guhle than with Lane Hutson.
