Prospect Info: Sam Rinzel D Chaska High School-Minnesota 25th overall

[ChiHawks10]

I don't understand why anyone considers Korch as part of a "big 3".

For me right now, it's draft position + talent level. He's got one more year left to prove what he can do, IMO.

 

[featherhawk]

excluding the vet Murphy for a near future look

Vlasic-Rinzel -compliment each other perfectly please don't change, they will age like fine wine
EDM/Kaiser-Levshunov - this is all about who compliments Lev the most, only time will tell
KK/EDM/Kaiser/Allan- Cervier/Allan - Allan can play both sides which is a huge plus.

Playing time is needed to determine who gets dealt.

D can't be rushed, some need time to perculate like Forsling, others seemingly like Rinzel if he continues at his present level do not...

we have some time to sort it all out, that while our young C,LW and RW start filling out spots and that is present...its happening as we speak and the young bucks are gonna get the opportunities moving forward.

Don't think KD is gonna take on too many more of the maroons, smiths, martineez, broadie's moving forward that was likely just a stop gap to get to this point.

Next years club is going to be super youthful.

Rinzel is a future letter guy

Yeah, re-reading the initial post, it wasn't clear exactly who he was talking about, but he made it seem like if we drafted Schaefer, then 2 or even 3 of the big 3 would be available as trade bait.

I said Levshunov, Rinzel and Vlasic are locks because they fit what @Hattrick Kane was talking about. The other guys to me have question marks. In my opinion, I can see either of them or all as trade bait for forward help, especially if they draft Schaefer. And you still have Allan and Crevier as bottom pairing defenseman which I believe fits them more. Even a guy like Harding they just signed they might see something in along those lines.

For sure. Just a misunderstanding on my part.

I’ve been blown away at this kids poise and overall play. Seems to have star written on him and has stood out like crazy in the small sample of games so far.

 

[Souker]

This kid is your future #1D.
I do think Lev was a tad overrated at the draft due to his prime playing position, very similar to the Reinbeicher situation.
Both should be solid #2-3 D behind the main guys (Hutson/Rinzel).
Funny how the draft works sometimes… you get ti draft a D very early and it’s the guy you drafted much later that will likely become your #1.

1 more year is crazy talk. He'll be 21 at the end of next year.

Do not sleep on Levshunov yet.

I just want to see significant improvement from him. I feel like if not much has changed by this time next year, he can be the guy you try to trade for a forward as opposed to Rinzel, Lev, Vlasic, etc.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

So he’s gonna be in Calder contention next year. His main opposition is likely Demidov.

Who else do we think is there?

Ryan Leonard and Andrew Cristall

 

[Wally1112pac]

I think the Calder is Demidov's to lose next year.

I think Rinzel will have a rookie season like Faber. He will hover around 24 minutes a game and put up 45ish points. Demidov will just be too flashy not to win it.

Rinzel just being nominated for the Calder next year is a huge win.

He reminds me of Larry Robinson. Not the physical aspect but just how lanky he is. He's Big Bird 2.0.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Ryan Leonard and Andrew Cristall

Check the Oliver Moore thread

 

[Kevin Musto]

Check the Oliver Moore thread

lol I saw

I think Leonard is still a better player than Moore

but you won't see me complaining that Moore is off to a more productive start

 

[TLEH]

Rinzel played 9 games. Made 25k in performance bonuses, made 95k in signing bonus, and 91k in game checks. 5 assists and 23:18 Avg/time on ice. 22 shots as well, which I find impressive.

As we saw with Bedard vs Faber, the forwards usually win out on point totals.

not going to lie I would love to see a calder race between lev and sam.

Demidov, Buium, Rinzel, Leonard, Misa

 

[ColbyChaos]

Demidov, Buium, Rinzel, Leonard, Misa

Should we get Misa reports wee that he would do a year in college which given how great Frank turned out I would be all for it. Misa coming in at the beginning of the 2027 season with a more rounded out game would be huge and have an even bigger impact than Nazar did at the gate

 

[ello]

Demidov, Buium, Rinzel, Leonard, Misa

Nikishin always get forgotten too

 

[Dead Meat]

Dvorsky and/or Snuggerud in St Louis next year might excel on that squad...

 

[TLEH]

Couldn't be a worse place to talk Hawks other than on Reddit. Hive mind and clueless. Got people telling me that Rinzel needs to develop a better shot.

you're going to see a lot of Rinzel jealousy going forward

Nah man Korch has a way better shot than Rinzel for sure for sure
