At 2:50 It's the SL's U20 league.

Welcome to Montreal David Reinbacher! You will be a great DMan in a Habs uniform!

Not gonna lie, I feel better after watching this video 😂

After watching this report, I think this 5th overall pick makes much more sense than what most of us Habs fans think. As a project, Reinbacher is right up the Habs coaching staff's alley. Reinbacher ticks many boxes: - Hockey sense, mostly - Skill - Skating, to some extent - Size, mostly - Position (RHD) His breakout capabilities and his micro-positioning (use of body and stick) are what stick out the most in the clips shown in the video. His transition game as well as his skating speed are most likely what interested the Habs most, as it lines up with their philosophy of a fast play style. Then, there's the skill portion and some flashes of elite hockey sense that must have interested coach Marty a lot. Finally, his humble but confident attitude must have sealed the deal for the Habs scouting team. Some criticism regarding Reinbacher: - Could be somewhat better off the puck --- During the last season, coach Marty kept on talking about how hockey is mostly played without the puck. Most of our young players have shown improvement in that aspect throughout the season. This is a weakness that can be corrected, and we probably have the best guy for this job. - Skating could be somewhat better --- Skating can be worked on as shown by pretty much everyone. - Could most definitely be a bit more creative --- Creativity is one of these things that can't necessarily be taught. However, there are many workarounds to creativity, such as being the studious type and literally memorizing a user manual of all existing hockey manoeuvres, if that makes any sense. Maybe because of said lack of creativity, Reinbacher would flourish better in a rigid system, but with his skill set, it would be such a waste. Overall, Reinbacher looks like a prospect with elite upside who fits with the Habs' play style, and whose issues can most likely be fixed by our development team.

Very audicious habs picking him 5th overall. But understand why, he has a lot of potential. Hopefully we can develop him well.

montreal took him at first i hated the pick but after this video im down with it !!

Ok! Now I understand the choice by Montreal... I have to admit I thought we had enough D so Mitchkov was my choice

Interesting way you ended your video with a team taking a swing and dreaming big. Now that the Habs have selected him I'm hearing from disgruntled fans that he is a safe pick with a medium ceiling. Nice analysis. I hope he develops into the best version of himself!

The Habs keep adding on size and also a player who'll be able to play physically but not lose any playing abilities. Another solid player with a solid foundation to add on to !

Love how all the Habs fans are here getting some reassurance ;) Kinda needed it myself, thanks for this :)

Welcome to Montreal, David !

Amazing video, production quality is always great from the EP team.

Considering he is only 18 yrs. Old..!!! Playing against MEN ..!! He looks very confident out there..!! A few years of development under HABS coaching ..and he should be fine .!! Welcome to Montreal David..!! 😊

Kent Hughes brought me here

The only reason it's such a "controversial" pick is because Radenbacher is in an Swiss league barely anyone knows/cares about while all high drafts picks are chl, ushl/college, SweHL, KHL. From what I'm seeing his skating and puck handling is the most impressive as a defenseman his size.

Welcome to Montreal David David!

This is excellent David. More excited about the opportunity of him with the habs.

This guy could go very high if teams value Best Player Available over positional need given the amount of higher-end centers this draft. He's very good. Right-handed elite defenseman are also a premium by some folk's standards

Welcome to the cope fellow Montreal fans

Awesome video!!!! Thanks

I don't see how you rate Seider's skating as a 7 yet Reinbacher's a 6. Reinbacher's stride is less awkward than Seider's at the same age. There doesn't seem to be a discrepancy in straight-line speed either.

Merci David pour le contenu!!!

Keep up the good work David we believe in you GO HABS GO 💕💕💕

Keeping on the high-risk / high-reward track, with D-men, I have been looking a little deeper at the guys who may not be defensive studs, but have offensive numbers rocketing off the stats sheets. In particular, the 2 guys I was looking at were: Étienne Morin, Moncton Wildcats, and Lukas Dragicevic, Tri-City Americans. What are the feelings about either? Cheers!

I think if Benson and Smith are off the board, Reinbacher and Moore will be the 2 guys Philly will be debating for that 7/8 spot. Great video as always!

Good smart defenceman for Mtl in my opinion along with the other good prospect they have at the D line

Welcome to Montreal

Welcome to Montreal.

Guhle, xhekaj, Harris, lane Hutson, Mailloux, tourigny, reinbacher (wonder how are they going to manage that) - it’s a lot of talent

His skating posture reminds me of Larry Robinson, long legs, but quite shifty for his size.

My dark horse pick for Detroit. Even if Wallinder has experience as a LHD playing RHD Detroit could use a true RHD on their second line pairing with Edvinsson. I suspect several teams from picks 4 through 8 are HEAVILY scouting Reinbacher as they do not want to miss out on this chance to add him.

Nice dude!

Thanks, great video. Are there any other D that could challenge Reinbacher for top-10? I have to say watching this made me feel a lot better about losing the lottery and dropping back to 6th or 7th. Adding a player of his promise to the Habs D prospects, especially on the right side where they are lacking isn't so bad!

Comparisons to seider is very big compliment. I'm a blues fan, we have the 10th pick and I hope this guy is available, who knows tho, this draft is DEEP!

This is true, but man do I like watching Tanner Molendyk skate, it’s so smooth

Wings have two first rounders. I wouldn’t mind Stevie grabbing this kid with his second pick if he’s somehow still there. I’ll take another Seider all day 😂

welcome to montréal David !

Hi David, would like to know your hidden gems for this draft, guys in the later round that can become big with time and development.

We did Philly a solid by passing up on Michkov!!! They should give us Travis Konecny on a discount 😂😂😂 I know Arizona wanted Reinbacher!!! So they could replace Jakob Chychrun. P.S... I heard that Michkov Could be playing for Philly, as soon as next year!!!! Is that true or no? As a Habs fan Are you happy with our 5th overall pick? Or would you have took Michkov?!! I think I would have had to take Michkov. He could turn out to be the next big thing! But that being said... we got the best Defenseman in this years draft. Which was a draft of lotssss of talented player's. In the end... Reinbacher will be a great fit with the players we have right now! I'm happy with the pick! But, I was very shocked at the moment of time!!!!

This is practically a Why The Habs Drafted This Player video. It makes a lot of sense, seeing as the Habs are so focused on professional development and Reinbacher clearly has a lot of untapped potential. They have a serious need for someone to play RHD on the top pairing when they are a playoff team again. This could be that player.

Thank you so much for this video! I've been patiently waiting for this one to hear your thoughts on Reinbacher's ceiling. If he does go Top 10, which if he did, I know it would be more than likely in the 6-10 range. My question is, who do you think would be the best team to pick him in that range in terms of being able to develop his complete game? I assume you would say Detroit considering their success with Seider, and that would be absolutely insane for them to have Seider as a Top Pairing and Reinbacher as a Top 4. Is their a chance Montreal picks him up early? Also, do you think it's a possibility for him to fall into the 11-15 or even 16-20 range? As always, I love your videos, and I hope to see another one detailing Sandin-Pellikka as I saw he was doing insanely well defensively based on the charts you showed comparing Reinbacher and Seider in their draft years. Thank you again for the exhaustive in-depth analysis!

Bienvenue a Montréal !

The more I see of Reinbacher, but more I think maybe, just maybe he'll be drafted by the Penguins at #14. The Pens system is completely barren of any sort of impact player (Pickering and Murashov prob being the only 2 who have the potential) so position will be the last of the Penguins concerns when drafting (Best Player Available). Add that with the fact that Reinbacher is prob the closest prospect to being NHL ready and the Pens wanting to cash in while the core is still around, it just makes sense. Plus, having Reinbacher eventually being around Kris Letang...will only make the mantle passing of PP QB even sweeter.

I feel like this guy is penciled in at 5th oa. Elite two way ability and by far the most promising defenseman in the class. There's too much value in picking him to pass up.

Classic SJ Sharks move would be to reach for him with the #4 pick when there’s all these talented forwards in this year’s draft.

One thing i notice is that he likes to do too many moving back with somewhat blind passes I prefer D that can quickly transition it forwards and safely out with heads up passing or quick skating.

Welcome to MTL 🔵⚪️🔴

Merci David! I think he'll go 10th to STL.

Common David StLouis W

Player of The Montréal Canadiens

as a wings fan, i was pleasantly surprised to find out this was actually a moritz seider draft profile video

in Montreal yeeeeah

Welcome to Montréal David!

Congratz Montreal!

Thx for sharins, go habs go. David vs Goliath

David was drafted 5OA by the Montréal Canadiens today.

How long until NHL ready?

He would look best alongside Owen Power IMO.

That's why Carey Price was so proud to announce David............ err..........¯\_(ツ)_/¯

he would look real good sporting a Blue note.

I think reinbacher could be a superstar

Another good comparison would be McAvoy.

Canucks 10th overall?

Imagine if he's available at 9 and the Wings end up with Seider 1 and Seider 2

Caliss de tabarnak

I like Jiricek’s brother 🤝

Who’s the best defensive defenceman in the upcoming draft?

Cam Allen is the name yall should look for

Red Wings, you know what to do with the 9th overall pick.

Montreal

Me here after Montréal picks him

SIMASHEV !!!! is the Best Defenceman of this draft. Galaxies ahead of ReinFloper

It is very similar to Seider

Hmm same thumbnail as me

Welcome to Mtl

I could see him going as high as 7 to Philly who have zero good RHDs on team or in system thanks to Fletcher ineptitude. Should have taken Jiricek last year as well. So while I think someone like Leonard and Benson are slightly better prospects I can see the argument for Reinbacher.

you misspelled Simashev's name

vous êtes une belle gang de monsieur beast

qui sont venus fâcher après la sélection et qui se sentent un peu mieux après la video ?

looks like he’s headed to stl

Not sold on him for the Habs tbh

Dream dream dream dream....

I know Vancouver is very interested in Reinbacher. And at 11 the Canucks fall right into Reinbacher's range in most mock drafts. If Reinbacher is available at 11 the Canucks will draft him.

My prediction is Will Smith (C) goes #4, Reinbacher (RD) goes #5, and Carlsson (C but played LW all year) drops to #6. There’s a shortage of RD in the league. Only LA is stacked at that position. Reinbacher will get drafted early as result.

I already knew he was good, but not top 5 good.

habs will regret drafting this guy over Michkov.

Dmitri Simashev is HEAD & SHOULDERS above Reinbacher

Shhh don’t tell anyone I went moritz 1a and 1b

Welcome to the habs

The habs as an example do not need anymore D men but a manger should always grab the best player available because as other teams begin to realize they have glaring holes on D they will come calling looking for a trade.There is a huge NHL need for top end defense talent so no team should pass on him.

Sabres package two picks or a player and pick to move up and take this guy, heard it here first

this guys a better skater than seider lol

I'm worried with Reinbacher skating, when he reach his top speed, he tends to stride on the sides instead of onward-backward and Reinbacher is losing a lot of race (almost all his races) at high speed, (no one shows those highlights), sure he's still young in a men's league, but the NHL is even faster, he will need to fix that. Take considerations thats he's doing a lot of point on power plays and often in central zone when he pinch a forward he's in fact pinching the air cause he arrive late on the hit, decision taking? Lack of top speed? I'm not saying that he is so bad but he needs to work on those points for sure. The speed of his hands he could be faster, he look more like a second rounder for this point. Also caution with europeans defencemen because they have more space and time and are not used to high and fast pressure of the north america and time of reaction is the key of everything here. There is a full bag of highly touted europeans defencemen prospects in the last years that didn't reach their ceiling in north america cause the main task for a NHL defencemen is to manage high and fast pressure. Those kind of defencemen finish with 18 minutes per night and 25 points per season, what is the ceiling of Reinbacher? Maybe its going to be the case so why spent a top ten pick on that, not sure. Of course Reinbacher is doing a good job overall, but he doesn't have a high upside. So the best defencemen of this class is Dragicevic, cause he have a low floor and a high ceilling, the room (ceiling-floor=room) is bigger, so he needs to be ranked higher. Of course it will always be a Brian Burke style of GM that will force a head scout to take the big guy playing pro but an advised decision should be to take Dragicevic first, and Dragicevic HAVE NO SKATING PROBLEM, even Dan Marr chief of NHL CSS told that he's an excellent skater in his podcast just after the final ranking. Other defencemen like Pelikka and Gulyayev have a very high ceiling but the floor is also high cause the size recquired in the NHL. So the room is lower so they need to be ranked lower. And by the way David, Dan Marr told the CSS ranking is a voted ranking. I also think a votation is the best way to elaborate a ranking, its like Survivor and everybody like Survivor :))

axel sandin pellikka is gonna be better

Sabres pick at 13

hes a hab i guess.

Reinbacher gonna drop at 21 for Seattle. With Shane, Goyette, Firkus, Nyman, Kartye. And only top D's like Evans and Nelson. We need a elite D like him or Pelikka.

Habs Fan how are we feeling ?
