Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Lockin17]

Could we say Reinbacher is the next Slavin ??

I like the Ekholm comparative, Slavin has zero physicality to his game whereas Redenbacher isn’t scared to use his body to defend

 

[absolute garbage]

For a 20 year old 5th overall pick who has played few seasons against men, he looked pretty underwhelming considering the quality of the tourney.

Did you watch the 11 games he played down the stretch in Laval where he scored a highlight reel goal in a must win game against Belleville? That occurred in his 1st AHL game. He finished with 5 points and was a plus 6. He also was on the 1st PK unit in game one through the 11 games. That's the sample size you should look at instead of 2 meaningless games.

And even then he was great in the 2 games.

I have a bad feeling that this kid will be a whipping boy for years to come no matter how good he becomes.

I hope this forum is not like that. It's our job to defend the kid. Bashers will get tired one day or maybe if Mich is becoming a bust they will stop.
Rein will never become an Ovechkin, he's not a forward, it should be obvious for anybody but he could become a Pietrangelo or a Seabrook. That's the reason he was picked and that's allright !

 

[Habricot]

I didn't see reinbacher play today and I'm not buying the doom, But I caught a bit of michkov and man he is the real deal he looks so special. Imagine michkov and demidov....

It could be but I think his game is pretty mature. I would not be suprised if he was up in the NHL midway through the season once he is adapted to the smaller ice.

MSL said he he wasn't as good in the 2nd game.

Just a bunch of low confidence posters who like to trash on our top picks over and over. Imagine being a "fan" of a team and doing that? Glad Slaf proved many wrong and Reinbacher will no doubt do the same.

Gotta go with the Snake Boisvert take here : rookie tournament games mean nothing at all. Look good, I don’t care, look bad I don’t care either.

Hell, even preseason can be misleading. Norlinder had a great camp last year

I thought Norlinder was ass last year during camp. Never understood the comments saying he was good. I'm seeing the same thing regarding Mailloux's 2 games, which is just as puzzling.

No he said he wasn't bad in the first game and took a step in the 2nd.

Remember when Logan Cooley scored a great spinorama goal in the preseason and Slafkovsky was a bust? I memba'.​

 

[montreal]

clearly not great though.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

Honestly, yeah. I haven't thought about Michkov since like last November or something when DR was struggling and have pretty much exiled him from my mind since the Demidov pick.

All we did was essentially switch drafts. If we take Michkov last year, we don't take Demidov this year and probably take a big D. There is literally no point in worrying about Michkov at all.

I didn't like the Reinbacher pick because I think you should always shoot for upside, especially in a top 5 pick. But if he turns into a steady minutes eater that is a staple in our top 4, then I'll at least be fine with it.

It’s the kind of player you win with

Norlinder in last years preseason game was way more impressive then anything Mailloux did in these 2 games as he didn't do much but that's actually good for him imo.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

No, he had some type of knee pain that was a condition.. not related to the knee injury he suffered at the Worlds.

I believe it was Osgood Schlatters . I had similar as a teen growing 8 inches in a year

My brother and i both got that, was pretty awful for a few years

Meh, watched a half dozen. I would have never taken him over Demidov, not in a million years. Would take him over Reinbacher 10/10 times though, and I'm don't think I'm alone

You need to stop lusting after that russian manlet, he doesn’t belong to us

Exactly.....they should just make a thread for the Michkov nonsense so we can segregate that conversation from the rest of the board. I can then choose to ignore that thread and Voila! ....it will disappear.

It's tiresome that every prospect thread that has anything to do with Reinbacher, Michkov or Demidov all turns into the same thing.

They should just leave and become Flyer fans if they are that obsessed with him.

I wanted Leonard if Michkov was gone lol

I felt like they kept him with the team to boost his value on the market for the other teams and tried to have an offer from him because he didn't stood out at all last year

On 690 yesterday they were comparing Reinbacher to an offensive lineman in NFL. Not flashy but very affective.

Reinbacher last season with Kloten was struggling trying to do too much. Rob Ramage went over with videos of Shea Weber. Showed him the videos. Just shut the forward down, win the puck battles and get the puck out. Not a flashy game but highly affective one.
