Its funny really that both Habs and Flyer fans have some angst....We Flyer fans were livid the day we passed on Caulfield for York .....and now Habs returned the favor by passing on Michkov.....I have a feeling Montreal will regret big time drafting Slafkovsky and Reinbacker instead of Michkov and Cooley.
Habs painted themselves in a corner.. While Reinbacher doesn't need to be as good or as valuable as Michkov, they need to have him at least in the general vicinity as Michkov who is a superstar. I'm rooting for Reinbacher, but that's ridiculous pressure on a kid that is very very raw.Only fools and water-carriers for the team did believe so; the rest of us were wailing and gnashing our teeth on passing over the best forward that the franchise would have had in three decades.

Reality is every day Sochi plays is a bad day for Habs fans. He ran circles around SKA that loaned him and was the best player on the ice. And the news will only get worse. If he continues in this trajectory, by December Habs fans should insist people get fired.
These are talking points that really don't hold much water at all. As someone who meticulously watches every shift. He's quick as hell. When SKA asked him to play center in the preseason he was more than responsible enough. He's absolutely capable of being good in his own endWith Michkov the main question to me is can he produce in the NHL playoffs as he's not that quick or good in his own end
The Habs got themselves into this mess because MB was terrible at drafting/development so we'll see if the new management team is any good or not.
With Michkov the main question to me is can he produce in the NHL playoffs as he's not that quick or good in his own end, so until we see what he does in that situation it's going to be difficult to say who the Habs should have picked or not so I doubt anyone would be close to getting fired this soon.
I was shocked they picked Reinbacher, thought for sure they were going forward, though I felt they had hoped Will Smith would get past SJ and drop to them since Hughes knows him well. Once that didn't work out I think they looked to trade down but must have been asking too much so they went with more of a safe pick in that it's highly likely that at worst they get a bottom pairing RD as kids his size with his skill level that have good skating/speed/strength outside of injuries don't bust at as high a rate as others.
In the one game I saw this year Michkov did look good, so how much he can progress over these next few years, and another guy that many Hab fans wanted in Benson or Lenoard, if these forwards do well and Reinbacher is more a of a bottom pairing D then depending on what happens with Slaf, this management team could be in trouble.
I think they looked at Lane Hutson and said this guy could be someone to build the team around and Reinbacher could be a great partner for him while addressing a need. I'm honestly more worried about Slaf then I am Reinbacher but they went for size which we badly need with so many smallish prospects.
Draisaitl is still often bad, but McDavid is not. His attention to detail in the defensive zone is high, and he stays low in the zone until the puck is broken out cleanly. He's much better at combining his strength and speed to get body position and execute clean takeaways.McDavid and Draisaitl are terrible in their own end, but when they are at 3PPG pace combined in playoffs, their team is pretty tough to play against.
It’s much better and harder league now. And it’s fact.While I don't agree with his post and have a strong belief in Matvei, it wasn't even called the KHL back then. Different league, can't compare.
I think Michkov pulled a JagrAs habs fan who wanted Mitchkov, I wonder if the habs fell for the sunken cost fallacy since they saw Reinbacher a lot..
Groundbreaking opinion. Hope rein turns out ok for us. Slaf, good luckI have a feeling Montreal will regret big time drafting Slafkovsky and Reinbacker instead of Michkov and Cooley.
I still have a hard time accepting the Reinbacher choice even though he was the next name in my list.As habs fan who wanted Mitchkov, I wonder if the habs fell for the sunken cost fallacy since they saw Reinbacher a lot..
I think it was reported he sort of made clear to at least Arizona that he wouldn't play there. Seems like an entitled kid to me.I think Michkov pulled a Jagr
he has every reason to be, he's a special talent and he knows it.I think it was reported he sort of made clear to at least Arizona that he wouldn't play there. Seems like an entitled kid to me.
Of course notIt’s much better and harder league now. And it’s fact.

So Cooley was entitled for entertaining the same option eh?I think it was reported he sort of made clear to at least Arizona that he wouldn't play there. Seems like an entitled kid to me.
mr make it happen made it happen againThe point streak continues with an assist. Goal off his rebound.
Somebody doesn't watch hockey, only reads about it i seeMcDavid and Draisaitl are terrible in their own end, but when they are at 3PPG pace combined in playoffs, their team is pretty tough to play against.
