Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Habsfan18]

Pretty pathetic that the kid has to go through this because of the nut fans

Yeah that’s pretty f***ed up. Social media-wise we have an extremely toxic fanbase. Not that we’re the only ones. But social media is the absolute f***ing worst.

We can be disappointed and straight up pissed off at management, but to take it out on the kid like it’s somehow his fault is absolutely pathetic.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I'll give you that one, but naming one player in 10+ years of Stanley Cup teams isn't the strongest argument.

Well built teams win championships, not superstar players. Having one sure helps though hehe, but the team building aspect is the most important imo.

Teams without superstars rarely win cups. It’s very hard to do without them.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

If Hutson and Reinbacher both hit that would be huge. We really need Hutson to turn into a #1 OFD.

Imagine if the draft was in Montréal

Yeah it went way too far. I get if you’re disappointed, but some people need psychological help. It’s just a game you have no control over. If you can’t handle it, stop watching. No need to be toxic towards a kid that doesn’t deserve it.

People get really confident in their opinions for some reason. To the point of thinking they are certainties. It's sort of strange.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

You would be insanely right. Frankly, I TOTALLY agree with you. With the concept of BPA, NOBODY SHOULD CARE WHO IS THERE NEXT YEAR.

Here lies the problem...THAT f***ING TEAM do. They empty their NEEDS buckets. Since they go NEEDS, they should be looking at what,s available in, at least, the upcoming draft. I wouldn't. They most definately should.

Good news.

We need scoring now. So we’ll draft it next year.

Right?

And the reaction wouldn’t have been as bad if Michkov didn’t exist. You know, a player 99% of the fanbase hasn’t even watched play.

The Vegas Golden Knights don't even have a 30 goal scorer tho..

It's on this site too. It's been going on since the pick and it's pathetic. It's only a game but people have no life I guess.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Honestly, I think him playing in Switzerland for another year is a blessing in disguise.

Too bad it took this :

 

[BeliveauFan4ever]

Well, if we can replicate their formula to a T, we’re all set. Eazy, peazy.

yup it was pretty sad and disappointing to see the overreaction last night. imagine having to protect a kid from his own fanbase, smh.

we need to be better

 

[River Meadow]

Drafting Bustbacher was a good start.

 

[JustAHabFan]

But I also heard that there is some concern among Canadiens brass about bringing Reinbacher to Montreal or Laval right away in light of the torches and pitchforks running through the fan base right now, and that exposing him to that immediately might do more harm than good.

Good job you f***ing babies.

My goodness. The attitude of a lot of fans in here disgusting me. Reinbacher is proud to wear the Habs jersey. He is a Habs and we kept talking about Mitchkov who is now a Flyers. Why don't we support our players?

Everyone is toxic on social media.

The difference compared to some other teams, is we actually have a passionate fanbase who cares about the team 365/24x7 days a year, and not just when they are in the playoffs and doing well, like some team like Florida, LOL.

 

[Gravity]

History says you do that 100% of the time so….

Jake Sanderson tops out as a 2D? Morgan Reilly is a 2D?

The D corps is shaping up nicely.

Fingers crossed Guhle can stay healthy.

 

[Tyson]

I wasn't a fan of this pick but the more I read, the more I see, this is possibly a huge win for the Habs. I look forward to seeing him at various camps this summer.

The D corps is shaping up nicely.

Fingers crossed Guhle can stay healthy.

I am concerned with Guhle and his ability to stay healthy. Hopefully he gets stronger over the summer.

No, I meant specifically

This same lunatic behaviour hurts us when it comes to acquiring talent.

Crazy how quickly many in here turned on HuGo last night over one pick when it's highly debatable who will be the better player in 5 years. The behaviour by some is completely irrational. The interesting thing is I haven't seen any of the posters who wanted Ryan Leonard having meltdowns.

Good job you f***ing babies.

This is why I bring up entitlement now and then. There are so many such fans. Just cheer for the team.

 

[DAChampion]

I don’t think it’s a dumb argument at all. It happens to be true. The dumbest thing in this thread is our gm who used a top 5 pick on dman who he thinks ceiling is a 2D and not capable of running a pp. I agree with him, so why take him at 5?

No.

Nobody actually knows how good next year's draft is going to be, nor do they know who the top thirty players will be, nor do they know where the Habs will draft: 5, 10, 15? Will there be a better dman than Reinbacher available at the Habs pick? No idea.

And if it's the case that the Habs end up with a surplus of outstanding defensemen, they can always trade one for a forward, or to trade a top draft pick.

Not only that but I've actually seen some of them change their minds like 3 times in one week on who they apparently REALLY wanted, and then took a fit when it wasn't them.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

What about the professionals who watched Michkov play on behalf of the Flyers?

Apparently they saw something completely different than the Habs.

If there were so many red flags or they were so obvious, how did the Flyers not act on them? How does a selection so close to the Habs’ 5th, cause a state of complete elation? Could it be that the Flyers know something that we don’t?

What if the Flyers were impressed when they spent time with him and his family (which despite our vast resources, we didn’t do). Could that not be possible too? Is that not a more hands-on due diligence act?

Organizations that surround themselves with yes-men are doomed to fail and that’s in any arena. If I were Habs management, I would not be using that argument as evidence of strong decision-making. They need different POVs around the table and based on how they all reacted on that critical decision that was this unique opportunity in a rare, quality forward draft, it does not bode well.

Nice post, nice try but I prefer the choice of the Habs with Rein than the choice of the Flyers. Michkov was skilled enough to be drafted #2. He went #7, ask 2 to 6 why they didn't take him. It's not pertinent attaquing Habs management for that pick you seem to not like. It's like a last attempt to say "I'm sure I'm right and they were wrong". I've read all the arguments, I've spendt hours and hours reading comments here and also elsewhere, there was no post, no argument that convinced me without a doubt Michkov will become a future nhl star. I wasn't impressed by his videos and all I saw was die hard fans who were very entousiast and very stubborn about that pick. Sometimes it was a mix of old grumpy man and juveline excitement and rage. That was too emotive to convince me.

All this board can be wrong. And this board was very wrong many times in the past. It doesn't mean anything for me the majority here. I'm totally a free electron and I decide who I like or not as a player. I have my eyes and my informations when I search.

Reinbacher was a safe pick, equal to Carlsson. He will be our next best D. He is already an excellent skater. He will take care of the PP, he will escape of his zone with speed, take good decisions because he is very intelligent and he will not bust because of booze, drugs or nightlife.
