I think management seriously underestimated how tough it would be on Reinbacher developing under these circumstances. I guess they thought they had 3 years before Michkov would even see NHL ice. Here we are a year later and Michkov is going to be ripping it up and the average Habs fan will watching on and looking at Reinbacher thinking about the one who got away.
Agreed, especially now that he’s injured, if he sits out for a few weeks and Michkov starts the season on fire he’ll have plenty of time to hear/see it all. Habs social media fanbase is wild as he already knows, he got a taste on his draft night lol.
We’ll see what Reinbacher is made of. He could use this as a fire to bust his ass and make sure he becomes the best version of himself to shut up the critics or he could let it all get to him and sink. Not easy being a top pick Habs prospect.
I think in the last draft video, Bobrov is telling one of the kids (I think Sawyer?), you can’t hide in this market, are you ok with that?
