Here's something posters here need to realize. You can think Reinbacher is a great prospect and still think the Habs made a big mistake.
KH didn’t say he was the top player on our list he said he was high on our list… if RD is the tie breaker it is one think but at 5 OA there at least 3, BPA available is subjective. KH he said if he was a LD we might of been cooler on him… that mean the same player has a LD might not even be the considered. Reinbacher was probably going to Arizona even if I had Simachev as the best D (he actually played some right D this year) I would not have been happier with the Simachev pick because if you trade down you still get the same guy or guy from the same tier BPA is subjective… PHI pass on Caufeild we passed on Michkov…Or maybe his position moved him up in terms of BPA since a RD is harder to find than LD.
I don't even like the pick, at all, but this whole BPA thing is not objective at all. BPA according to who? Internet scouts?
Going to address needs with preconceived ideas is just bad business. So in essence, needs in round 1. and needs in round 2. Just completely the opposite of what it suppose to happen. But I guess we will know in 5-7 years....I don’t think you can get ahead of yourself like this. If Reinbacher is the top guy on your board you take him.
I think this was probably decided right before they traded for Newhook. I think like @WeThreeKings said, Reinbacher won the tiebreaker against some wingers due to being a RD, and then it was decided that it would be best to address Wing with those two picks in the 30s via Newhook acquisition.
f*** off with these picks for need. f***ing go BPA.
I'd have taken him ahead of both Nemec and Jiricek at draft time. I had Popcorn second on my list this year and Nemec and Jiricek 4th and 5th last year.I'd have taken both Nemec and Jiricek ahead of him at draft time. Nemec was my number 1 last year, Popcorn was 10th on my list this year.
I got a spreadsheet and a Playstation. I am ready!im down!

Ill submit my resume for VP. You want to be my GM? @Adam Michaels AGM? @Runner77 VP Comms? @Vachon23 head of scouting?
Youre already overqualified!I got a spreadsheet and a Playstation. I am ready!
Where did I write his obituary? I just don't love the pick. I think Wright, Cooley and even Nemec will have better careers than him. He'll be ok but they'll be better. I hope I'm wrong......Way to early to write Slaf's hockey obituary don't you think? He just turned 19.
That's the thing about holes,they only get bigger over time.Cool... 3 more years to dig an even bigger hole
It's all about how you voice your opinion and the reasoning you put behind it.Here's something posters here need to realize. You can think Reinbacher is a great prospect and still think the Habs made a big mistake.
Habs drafted Price for “need”, drafted McDonagh & Pacioretty for “need”… every team drafts for “need”, whether you need to address a deficient position or address a certain skill set assetI remember when people on hfboards went ballistic when the Habs didn’t pick Angelo Esposito and Keven Veilleux.
I know one thing about this, it’s fake that they draft by need … they got burned so many times that at this point I think the drafting strategy is purely : would that guy’s brain break in Montreal
It was not the same level at all. Lol. The only thing that comes close to this was when Savard was not drafted over Wickenheiser. People were pissed. But the Internet didn’t exist.I remember when people on hfboards went ballistic when the Habs didn’t pick Angelo Esposito and Keven Veilleux.

In fact, in picking Reinbacher they limited the damage. I’m confident he’ll be a regular roster NHLer. In every draft there’s at least 1 or 2, sometimes more in the Top-12 that bust completely.Here's something posters here need to realize.
