Jury is still out for me. Slaf is far from a slam dunk, Mesar pick was brutal and don’t get me started on 5OA in 2023. He has work to do on the player procurement side of things for us to be a true contender. This was Bergevin’s weak spot…we’ll see how Kent does.

If only they'd have taken McDavid instead of Slaf... Really blew that one.

Mesar pick wasn't brutal..and zero issue with Reinbacher..

Hmmm...

Regarding Reinbacher, I would agree with Brian’s take here. If this is what we get with a fifth overall pick, it’s a clear failure.

Should be top 4 though

rookie1.bsky.social•18 days ago

I agree and we’ll be underwhelmed for the entire time he plays for the team I bet. We should be swinging for more than a bigger Alex Carrier at 5OA.

It’s the equivalent of picking a guaranteed 40-50 pt forward at 5OA. Makes no sense to me with Leonard there (excluding Michkov of course).

bwildemtl.bsky.social•18 days ago

Leonard was my guy there. I was confused. But let’s watch him and see how he goes.

It’s an inexact science.

Pundits have been overly pessimistic, and ultimately will be proven wrong… IF he can be healthy, if I have a concern that’s where it lies.

But if he is healthy.. he’ll be a top line defender.

That said.. would love a vet top pair RD like Dobson as well.
Future top 4 would be set.

I think if they didn't draft him as a future top pairing guy, maybe they drafted the wrong guy.

The McDonaugh comparison is growing.

rookie1.bsky.social•18 days ago

McDonaugh was taken at 12 overall so you’re making my point for me. You don’t draft that guy at 5. They’re available at lower spots or for trade/UFA.

gabrieltheberge.bsky.social•18 days ago

I agree with that. Michkov or Leonard could have been better options... I was rooting for Benson also back then. We'll see in time.

I'm more concerned about Reinbacher's injury history than about his ceiling atm.
