David Reinbacher - Elite Prospects

 

[Habspatrol]

Disappointing pick, but a hell of a prospect

 

[GGpX]

Some people will bitch, but I don't hate the pick at all. I would have preferred Michkov or trading down, but alas...

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

If GG tells me he doesn't hate it, good enough for me

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Meh.

New GM, same risk averse scouts, same constipated corporate culture.

 

[CH1]

I hate the pick but such is life

 

[GrandWazoo]

I hate the pick, not the player, yet.

 

[wiseguy1]

Well, Habs have a wealth of young D, gotta think a trade is coming to get a gifted forward.

 

[Habsy]

It's like when they didn't get top 3 they decided to go for need. Usually a bad idea.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

This is why we can't have nice things. A scouting staff and ownership group full of Fredo's.

Another late riser.

Nothing against Reinbacher, I think he's gonna be good, but definitely underwhelming with Michkov sitting there for the stealing.

Michkov was a bigger need.

Thoughts on the pick: In Reinbacher the Canadiens get a true premium defense prospect, a player with top pair potential and a chance to become a star if he really hits. Reinbacher immediately becomes the best defense talent in the Habs organization, and a future blue line with him, Kaiden Guhle, Logan Mailloux, Lane Hutson and Justin Barron looks like potentially a very good group. Reinbacher is a mobile, competitive defenseman with size and offensive upside.

 

[worm]

Isn't he one of the oldest players in the draft?

 

[hairnova]

Hopefully we found ourselves a Seider.

please remind me of precedent for this because all I can think of is Chelios for Denis Savard

not like we do well in top 3 either

Sergachev for Drouin.
