I don’t think I’m missing the point here and classing this as a disaster is being overdramatized. Is Reinbacher a 2nd pair D, maybe but that’s far from a disaster. Alex Newhook is an NHL player, that’s not a disaster. Sorry, but I’m not buying the story you’re selling. - ThreadSky

You think getting a 2nd pair D at 5 overall is a good result? Sorry but I think we should have higher expectations.

🙄who did you want

rookie1.bsky.social•73 days ago

Michkov was the best player available. I don't buy it 100%, but let's assume he wouldn't come to MTL. I think Leonard is going to have more of an impact in the league than Reinbacher. OR you accept the NSH trade offer of Askarov and the 17th pick (and pick Sandin-Pellika). Both options are better.

I think with more than one source saying he wouldn’t come to Montreal it’s probably true I’d have taken the trade for askarov but we don’t know how Reinbacher will be in nhl if he can stay healthy so I think we have to wait before saying 2023 is a failure.If he can be a good def he fills a big need

He can't stay healthy though. He's been injured the last 3 seasons. Not sure why his durability wasn't a concern for our mgmt team.

When we drafted him he hadn’t been injured for several seasons. I do share concerns about his injury I hope he can get and stay healthy and all the missed ice time doesn’t affect his development too much

ryleemtl.bsky.social•73 days ago

Expectations can only work if it corresponds to reality. Michkov didn’t want to come here, that’s my original point. If you can’t get that, then that’s on you not on me.

rookie1.bsky.social•73 days ago

Again, if you think that the 2023 draft was a success, that is on you.

ryleemtl.bsky.social•73 days ago

I never said it was a success, look at the thread and point where I used the word success or any synonyms of the word success. I just haven’t passed any judgement on it, I just said that Michkov was never coming here.
