They will absolutely not keep him ahead of Mailloux. Why would they? What's the rush?
‘Cause he’s looking better than Mailloux rigth now.

Not saying much though.he's already our best option at RD after Savard
Mailloux was the only Laval all star last year with 47 points in his rookie season.‘Cause he’s looking better than Mailloux rigth now.
He is at that point where it's now or never. We all need to hope he seizes his chance and Mailloux and Reinbacher can work on their gameThey will try Barron again
You mean like this?I would not be surprised if he is perceived as already above Barron and Mailloux in the depth chart.
He brings a much more mature and simple game than the other two.
This Reinbacher will be to Hutson what Malcolm Young was to Angus Young. For those who can't understand the reference, he will no doubt be in the shadow of Hutson but he will give Hutson the platform to shine at his maximum with what he brings to the game.
I hope DR works out as a first pairing D but to answer your specific question, right now, without him having even played even a single NHL game, I would, without any hesitation whatsoever, take Michkov (who BTW is 5'10" (not 5'9") and about 200 lbs.), over Caufield and Laine. It's not even close, IMO.So tired of the not-picking-Michkov hangover by some Habs fan on this board. Here's are our projected wingers next year on the top two lines:
Slaf
Caufield
Demidov
Laine
You want Michkov over any of these guys? A guy that does not seem to be particularly pleasant to start with, and who is 5'9" and not interested in playing defense?
We need a Reinbacher-type player, we don't need Michkov.

I would not. Let's see how effective Michkov will be in helping his team win hockey games.I hope DR works out as a first pairing D but to answer your specific question, right now, without him having even played even a single NHL game, I would, without any hesitation whatsoever, take Michkov (who BTW is 5'10" (not 5'9") and about 200 lbs.), over Caufield and Laine.

Sounds like needs a full season in Laval. He can then replace Savard next year.He was a bit timid last night but once he’ll get his confidence up the tools are there to have a pretty complete package defenseman
The ideal partner for Hutson eventually.
you compared him to Sergachev - a guy who's good for 30+ pts and can't defend lol. what exactly did Sergachev ever show to you to make you think he was the better prospect? oooh he made a nice blind pass after turning the puck over 23 times?Is that really saying much on this team?
1 - I never compared him to Sergachev, so FAKE NEWS, somebody else did.. was it you?you compared him to Sergachev - a guy who's good for 30+ pts and can't defend lol. what exactly did Sergachev ever show to you to make you think he was the better prospect? oooh he made a nice blind pass after turning the puck over 23 times?
i have no hatred for Sergachev. he is what he is - a dman with a lot of holes who can produce1 - I never compared him to Sergachev, so FAKE NEWS, somebody else did.. was it you?
2 - Reinbacher hasn't proven anything yet
3 - I think your hatred for Sergachev is inflating your turnover statistics
4 - Relax ,It's just a message board
You have no hatred? you posted this :i have no hatred for Sergachev. he is what he is - a dman with a lot of holes who can produce
99% of the fan base will let you hear about it!You have no hatred? you posted this :

But let's just accept the fact we have different opinions on players and we run with them, rightly or on pure bias. I've done nothing but trash Reinbacher since we drafted him, It would be hilarious if I started saying 'I have no hatred for Reinbacher'. However if he does become anything more than a 3rd D, I have a lot of crow to eat and I'll hear about it no doubt.
