Demidov is a HAB
I'd invite posters who don't see talent in Reinbacher to watch old Weber videos (like Nashville Weber). I am not talking about videos of him punishing players or bombing the puck. Just video of Weber's man-to-man coverage.
Visually, it wasn't anything mind-blowing. Weber's gap control and angling was flawless. You basically couldn't beat him one-on-one at the blue line, you had to dump in the puck. Weber used his size to secure and protect the loose puck and then made a good first pass either out of the zone, or to his d-partner.
This is what Reinbacher will bring. It's not sexy at all, but it's effective. I suspect some fans will never appreciate this, partly because it's such a subtle talent, and because they won't get over not selecting Michkov.
My buddy and I were talking about this and Reinbacher is a good barometer for those who actually know puck. So much of what he does is the subtle, nuanced things that win possessions, win shifts, and win games but don't jump off the screen.
