Michkov and Bonk, not a bad first round. A bit of a reach for Bonk who was expected to go late in the first or early 2nd but RHD are at a premium now in the NHL, look who MTL, Phx and Van drafted in the top 10.

It is the first day of my vacay

Background: Reinbacher was a top-four defenseman for his NLA team this season. He had the second most productive draft season by a player in NLA history, behind Auston Matthews, and the best by a defenseman. He was a top player for Austria at the 2023 world juniors. He played regular minutes for Austria’s senior team at the Deutschland Cup. He played for Austria’s U20 team at the 2022 world juniors as well.

Analysis: Reinbacher is an excellent all-around defenseman. His mobility stands out immediately, especially as a 6-foot-2 right-shot defender. Reinbacher’s gap control is quite strong; he kills a lot of plays due to his feet. He can close on guys with his body too, and shows a high compete level to win back pucks. He’s very polished defensively for such a young player, and projects to shut down good NHL forwards. He’s able to both skate and pass pucks up ice. He’s got good offensive touch, showing solid hands and better vision. He’s not dynamic with the puck but showed this season at a young age he could make plays and move the puck like a pro. His sense is very good and he projects to be a power-play guy in the NHL. Reinbacher is a potential top-pair, all-situations NHL defenseman.

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.

a guy who played with him last season compared him to Josi. he said the kid was totally unknown at the biggining of the year and gradually became more confident and finally run their PP. he actually matched the points Josi had at the same age with the same team.
he'll be fine. great pick.

You kept watching after drafting the next Ovechkin at 7??

I would have passed out or spent the night streaking and getting arrested.

Bonk is a great pick. Especially in a deep draft, I think he'll hit.

i am a fan of the new flyers jersey too. i like the black shoulder numbers and it's a nice simple pattern on the jersey and the darker orange is nice. what a time to be alive.

I too like it. Unfortunately, they are keeping the contrasting nameplate on the roads tho
