D David Reinbacher - EHC Kloten, NL (2023, 5th, MTL)
- Thread starter JapanesePopstar
- Start date
This guy will be a top two round draft pick next year. He has a great season in Switzerland.
Odd there's no talk of him yet. Almost ppg in U20 league and almost the same point production rate in SL in his D-1 season rate than Othmann had in his draft season.
Josi was about ppg in U20-Elit in his D-1 season too. How much has the quality in that league changed since Josi played there?

Can someone with knowledge of Swiss hockey contribute here?
Seems like there is a wide gap in talent in the clubs in the second division.
Were Reinbacher's stats with Kloten impressive because they are so much better than the opposition or is there real potential here?

I hope he is.
Kloten being good really helped. He's a good skater and can run a good offense but he suffers a bit from glass cannon syndrome at the moment. He is very prone to defensive lapses.

Though next year he could play in the highest Swiss league with Kloten.

Kloten sounds like the more likely option right now, based on the comments from Sarnia’s GM.
Its probably right to stay as he could have a sizable role next year in one of the best european Leagues. I like him as a player, he has a mature game and an NHL frame already. I am not to sure about his offensive upside however so I dont see him taken in the frist round. He could go of the board in the second though if he has a good year.

U20 league in Switzerland is not great competition (most guys who are on any kind of radar are full time players, and often very productive, as D-1 players), and you have to remember that Josi was 9 months younger too.
Right now, Reinbacher needs to aim to be Nickl 2.0. Both were late birthday Austrian defensemen. Nickl went in the early 4th round.
Reinbacher has done enough to enter the conversation, but only as a fringy late round guy. If he wants to really standout, then he needs to do well in either the CHL (like Nickl) or in the NL and shows he can be a standout for Austria internationally (Nickl has done much better than Reinbacher here thus far).
Has anyone seen the WJC game against Germany yesterday? Only read some comments that suggested he didn't look great. Bit disappointing to hear since he also wasn't exactly the expected standout at the WJC-18 D1B earlier this year.

I thought he looked good when he wasn’t in the penalty box. One of only a few defenders that could create offence from the point and he was physically imposing when Germany had a rush. I came away impressed, even if he took a couple stupid penaltys.
Guess it wasn't that bad, he was on the ice for Kloten's first game of the season. Didn't play much (almost 8 minutes of icetime, no special teams) but was on the ice for Kloten's only goal.
Had his first goal and assist yesterday in a 5:4 win against Lugano.

Can anyone tell me more about this kid? What type of game he plays?
Haven't seen a game of him this season to be honest, but I'm pretty excited that he's doing so well thus far. He's averging 17:26 TOI per game, which is the 7th highest average of all Kloten players and the 2nd highest of all Kloten defenders.
He's leading all under-20 players in the NL with 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists) in 13 games. That would project to around 20 points on the season. Without being a National League expert I'd still say, that this would be pretty impressive.
His debut in our national team should also be right ahead of him. Hopefully already in the Deutschland Cup next month.

It's not Austria, unfortunately. Those kids are good because they are leaving for Switzerland (Rossi, Reinbacher) or Sweden (Kasper, maybe Scherzer) at an early age. The Austrian developmental system is no better than before...

His goal didn't count but he was very much in the middle of things vs the local rivals of ZSC Lions. Love how he just casually bumps into the goaltender to then try to get away as if nothing happened

Currently one of the fastest rising draft rising draft prospects.
2nd in TOI per game among NL Kloten defenders (17:40).
Also looks like he'll get his first games with the Austrian National team in soon. He's on their roster for the upcoming Deutschlandcup.

Received a B rating (2-3rd round) in Central Scouting's preliminary ratings.
Any news on his play so far?

Pretty good article here on Reinbacher - I believe there is an English translation avaliable through google for you English speakers.
