His Q coach says he was not well taught as a hockey player, and in life in general and he made great progress this year.

That's great, he has a lot of room for improvement.

Lets see , what will the future bring to reway. Few years ago he was a real problem kid. His training effort was minimal, he had always issues with training staff, alcohol and cigarettes were his best friends.
But it turned around in Canada. He is now another person. He said, if he worked harder 2 or 3 years ago, now he will be sure 1st round pick.

hahaha, this is amazing. If he turns it around then there should be tons of room for improvement. Over a PPG for a rookie could bode very well.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

I saw him aprox 15 times last season.

Great player, fast with good hands. Will lead the team with poirier next year. Small...

 

[canadiensnation]

You guys are ****ing annoying with the size obsession.

then the Habs draft a larger guy and everyone still complains. I hope this guy scores 100 points in the NHL one day.

 

[Et le But]

Interesting to hear how awful his attitude was a few years ago. Seems like he's been working hard since making it to North America. Wonder if he can keep the focus up, could be a good story.

 

[windycity]

hadn't heard of him before the draft but like what I've heard since, solid pick I think at 116

 

[68*]

Too small. Won't make it.

Groulx is there for attitude problems

Every time I watched Gatineau games, I preferred Reway over Poirier. I just wished he was at least 2-3 inches taller! He is barely 5'8.

 

[Beaker]

Definite skills, but 5'08, 158 lbs?! He has Patrick Kane hands... but even skinny Patrick Kane has 20 lbs on this kid.

Hopefully he hits the gym, gets his weight up around 180lbs, and his game translates into pro.

 

[TheLastShift]

and what waas Brendan Gallagher when we drafted him in the 5th round? A small little punk who turned into one hell of a player for us.

I'm sure the Habs will work hard with that kid. He's worth it because of the skills.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Reway has great skills. Watched a few Gatineau games this year, his hands are great. Needs to get stronger to have a chance of surviving in the NHL. He's top 6 or bust as his game isn't suited for a bottom 6 role.

Good project and good value for a late pick.

 

[kernkraft]

Well, if he's actually 5'10 175, then that's not so bad. Very skilled, very fast.

Andrighetto
Hudon
Reway
Kristo
Lehkonen

I'd wager one of our undersized W prospects makes it.

..I don't recall Gallagher ever having attitude problems, quite the opposite actually.

I like the Reway pick

 

[Whitesnake]

As I said in the draft thread, Reway, for me, is Juraj Mikus part 2. We have to hope it pans out more. CLEARLY, I predict that I will like Reway at the dev. camp. No contest.

Mikus looked really good.. didn't he just go back to Slovakia because he was home-sick or something?

Not sure. He came back in the AHL and then went back again.

 

[Redux91]

Timmins say Reway is the home run pick.

Ehhh, he said home run SWING

theres a big difference :/, as in "hit or miss", not home run pick which is "CANT believe we got this guy"

He's not. He's definitely 5'8.

5'10 was the height his agent told Gatineau before they drafted him in the import draft.

When he arrived and they measured him during the camp, he had shrinked at 5'7 1/2...

It was reported by the Olympiques beat writer.

I don't see the comparison you're trying to make

I got to see Mikus a lot playing for the Sags and Reway is definitely more talented.

Mikus played at 19 in the Q alongside a 20 yo Desharnais and was a little over 1 pt per game.

Reway was 17 and played without a real first line center and was also a little over 1 pt per game.

Also, Reway is Tyrion Lannister while Mikus is more like Jaime. In height I mean, not the sister loving thing.

 

[Richiebottles]

Always good to have these high end skill guys around. If he makes it stick him with two bigger players and he will do fine.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Let's hope he grows a inche or two... please!!!!
