Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[JoelWarlord]

I love how dramatic this entire discussion is. As if there can't be an outcome where both teams are happy and Reinbacher is a key part of a shutdown pair with Guhle or the defensive conscience for a dominant pairing with Hutson while Michkov is a strong 80-90pt guy that elevates the Flyers offensive outlook but isn't the next super Kucherov.

Remember when it was organizational malpractice for the teams ahead of us to pass on Caufield and then Boldy became probably a better player and York turned into a perfectly solid 2nd pair D with likely some upside still left in the tank?

Curious guys................do you think Reinbacher can become a Dman, like Evan Bouchard of the Oilers?
Does he possess that type of shot for our PP??

Probably not, the closest comparable we have for Bouchard would be Mailloux (I don't think LM has the same overall offensive profile as Bouchard though, but there's comparisons as a broad archetype of the righty with the big shot). To compare Reinbacher to an Oilers D we'd be looking at Ekholm as the archetype.

I hate it that people will go to the length of wishing ill on another team's prospect just so that they feel better about their own. It's not a zero-sum game.​

We’re gonna look like fools if he lives up to the hype.

It depends how good Reinbacher will become. If Reinbacher is the next Pientrangelo we wont look like fool.

 

[LaP]

No. He’s not that kind of d-man. Bouch is all O no D.

No but Bouchard was grossly underrated by 99% of hfboards for long time and i think he's better defensively than you think. I remember people talking about him like if he was a mini Rielly. He's MUCH MUCH better than hfboards gave him credit for. He's been impressive those playoffs. His slap shot on his goal yesterday was McInnis like i had not seen a slap shot so smooth and powerful in a long time.

 

[billy piton]

Because they know he wants to leave? Because they've treated him like shit exactly for that reason?

but why would team "treat like shit" that kind of talent? it doesn't make much sense... and then just release him? we'll see how it goes with torts.

Because that's what they do? Why did they keep Demidov in the MHL all year? Because he expressed he wanted to move away. Why did Romanovs ice time go down drastically when he announced he'd come to the NHL the next year?

Incredibly ignorant post.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

WTK and Grant McCagg gonna be working overtime to rationalize this news tho

 

[Talik Sanis]

Frankly, aside from Hutson, I think our whole defensive prospect pool is a bit overrated. That's why I have no trouble with us grabbing one of Yakemchuk, Buium or Dickinson at 5 OA. All of whom should be available when we draft.

Agreed, actually. There are major holes in all areas of any prospective team we could assemble using that which we find in the system and in the skills set of our prospects on defense and at forward.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

When the guy who just drafted you makes a point of it to SAY outright that he’s not expecting you to be a PP Qb, you can bet that you are not going to that org for that aspect of your game.

You are correct, sir.


No. He’s not that kind of d-man. Bouch is all O no D.

Bouchard has improved leaps and bounds defensively. People just think he's no D because he looks dumb and when he makes a mistake defensively it's usually a big one. The vast majority of the time he's a very steady defenseman who controls the play even without McDrai on the ice.

On topic though, I really hope Reinbacher can develop into a number one, because anything below that means we made a mistake IMO. Michkov is a brilliant player.

They can't smell each other because they're basically the same person. Sad we got the least connected of the two to stick around.

Nah he's horrible defensively. Probably worse than Matheson. His defense is at best 3rd pair worthy, if even that.

That's not true by essentially any metric over the last couple of years. Again, he makes big mistakes which people take notice of but the majority of the time he's dominating out there.

don't be an a*s, i have watched more khl games in person than you have on tv and i know how the things go there. every russian top prospect wants to leave for the nhl and i have never heard teams just releasing them for free just like that with two more years on their contract.

 

[Mrb1p]

Yeah metrics will have you think Tom Gilberts a good D too.

 

[Habssince89]

Reinbacher is a valuable piece and he's going to help the Habs build a lot. Perfect compliment to Hutson

any theories?

 

[le_sean]

I mean Torts has never really coached a rebuilding team so it’s difficult to know how he is with young players. He gives ice time to guys that work hard, that’s it.

But one thing he hates is players that don’t put in 100% and the way Michkov floats in the neutral zone waiting for plays to come to him won’t sit well with Torts. Maybe he coaches it out of him. Or maybe it’s something the 6 teams that passed on him were right to be concerned about.

 

[billy piton]

I

any theories?

my theory is that he is incredible pain in the a*s that ska would't have anything to do with him. but that's just my theory.

Fedotov literally just got released a few months ago?

It happens all the time. I gave you the example of Romanov and Demidov, you chose to ignore those. Miroshnichenko did it last year.

The fact you've seen KHL games live doesn't make you smarter or more informed, clearly.

Clearly you don't know anything about the KHL and Roman Rotenberg lmao.

 

[The Great Weal]

Yeah metrics will have you think Tom Gilberts a good D too.

Don't ever mention that guy's name again. Pretty sure he was on the ice for every goal against in the Tampa series.

mirošničenko had non hodgkin lymphoma and wasn't even close prospect mičkov supposed to be. fedotov is 27 yo goalie

anyway, it will be extremley fun to watch situation. if things don't go well everything will be on "idiot torts", ofc

Okay... so clearly wrong? You're reaching for drama with Michkov and I showed you you were wrong

I'm just in it for the lolz when the team is good again we'll all be on the same page

Not me. There's two persons I hate in the world, him and the guy that said he would kill me if we were in his country while road raging at me. (I told him.Id kill.him right here and he bolted).

 

[Wats]

It depends how good Reinbacher will become. If Reinbacher is the next Pientrangelo we wont look like fool.

Pretty much. Here's hoping he can be a cornerstone 22-25min/game RD for the next 8+ years putting up 40+ points.

 

[billy piton]

Okay... so clearly wrong? You're reaching for drama with Michkov and I showed you you were wrong

you have shown nothing. ska wrote him off with two years of contract left and at least five teams passed him on draft day for whatever reason. he was touted as generational prospect for years...

but i'll gladly admit i was wrong if mičkov becomes a good player and model citizen in philly.
