sick great exchange and content, McCagg always interesting
You also need to consider, this is wide European rink. When Reinbacher comes to NA, nobody would beat him 1 on 1.
I agree with that, plus he's got a really long reach he's grew another inch or 2 from last year I heard so throw that on top of it I don't think anyone will beat him wide
Grant brings good information
Love it when Grant is on👍
Good show gentlemen! Sick!!!
Great show Tony and Grant
Great show ❤ Sick
Good show Tony... Always good hockey talk with Grant, Eric, Stu and Mike Johnson... Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that Demidov is still available at the NHL entry draft when the Hab's are up with their first pick...
I am sadly sure the Habs will pass on him like we passed on Michkov
We need a trade with columbus or san jose both bottom feeders 4 a whike and make their 1rst multiply by 1-2-3-rd in next year maybe both we have many draft pick scoop lindstrom too
Show was so good I had to watch it TWICE !!!
Only twice? Lol. I'm on my 4th listening
Grants a certified Beaut. Great content.
Great show having both snake and Grant, really does show that drafting is an Art not a science, if the draft falls this way, I wonder if Habs take another d or trade back. Would love to hear how Reinbacher matches up with the top 5 d this yr
I agree with Grant. Before he said it I was watching this kid and the thought of a right hand Robinson struck me. Reinbacher looks like the real deal. Can't wait to see him in the rouge blanc et bleu.
Robinson? As in 2 time Norris trophy winning hall of famer Larry Robinson? If that is the comp it must be news to Hughes who said his upside was "a number 2 defenseman" and every team with the possible exception of Chicago that passed on him made the wrong pick.
Right, because no team has ever passed on a Dman that went on to win several Norris trophies.
@@rgood1204 Reinbacher was the best defenseman available in a very bad defenseman 2023 draft year, but was he the best player available at 5th ??? Montreal needed a right-D so they went for needs. Had he been a leftie, they would have likely passed on him. Since then, the Canadiens along with their media friends have been trying to sell him as a futur top line defenseman; and now, as a Larry Robinson when his own coach at the time, Jerry Fleming, compared his to just a Jeff Petry at the same age...Time will tell how Reinbacher turns out, lets give him a chance...but please, stop hyping this kid who is having an average season !!!
@@justinlocke8390 - best defenseman (maybe) in a weak draft for defensemen. He would at best have been the 4th defenseman taken in 2021 and at best 3rd in 2022.
Sick! ❤
Sick!
What is Grant's scouting report
on Trevor Connolly??
As long as they draft size and players that can compete and score who when are pushed push back.
No mention of Crosby and Mackinnon from the Q!
Ryder Ritchie, August 3rd bday. Center 6ft probably could trade down and still get him and get two other great picks in the first round of the draft
Quentin Musty has 62 points in 34 games.
Am I the only one who LOVES the intro song?
Yes…you are
😂you have that song in your head too lol I'm the same sometimes hours
Tank for iginla
❤Hi guys watching replay this show Fantastic defenseman WOW would love they say to Xehkaj go to laval mailloux comming up, play with Reinbacker you 2 are now a pair learn from each other,win the AHL next.year we compete up in mtl
Does La Bittt a Tibbi make a gruit beer ?
Mtl must get Lindstrom at all cost, I would give let say our 5 (if its our rank) with Lane Hutson to get 3 choice.
Sick sick sick
No Cole Eiserman in the Top 10 is crazy !
lazy and doesn;t play d
I had him 2nd overall in my projections last year.
Now I have him at #10.
Character issues.
Laziness issues.
Purely a shooter, unable to feed his teammates.
And that Draft Class is just
WAY. TOO strong at the Top
to gamble on Eiserman
if he doesn’t get his shit together.
@@chrishansen8477 - Neither does Patrick Kane, Steven Stamkos, Kirill Kaprizov, Ovechkin, Malkin now or when they were 17/18 years old. For a comp, neither did or does Cole Caufield and Hab fan thinks of him as a first line winger.
Tig Iginla is a stud and à must draft plus 8f they can also land Massé or Cayden Lindstrom that would be huge People are getting.tired of draft pick but whats the rush
If you pick Iginla…
you’re not ALSO getting Lindstrom 😂
Lindstrom will most likely go Top5,
Maybe even Top3.
@@sb0182 we never know how much they gonna tank
@@steve_frenchcougar1747
Oh they’re gonna tank alright.
But Lindstrom AND Iginla
are gonna be Top10 pick.
Habs cannot draft BOTH
THAT was my point 😂
Looks like we are going to get another defenseman.. while we need forwards really bad.
This philosophy is called
“Drafting by Organizational Needs”
It’s exactly the philosophy that led the Habs to draft KK
instead of Brady Tkachuk.
IRONICALLY ENOUGH…
I see so many people who SHAT
on Bergevin
for that draft mistake
Yet will now say stuff like
“We need to draft a FORWARD
we have too many DEFENCEMEN 😩”
The irony is mind-blowing
I would be shocked if no defenseman goes top 3 in this draft
if MTL has a top 10 pick, they are going for another defensman because their scouts are clueless.
If Lindstrom is gone beofre the habs pick, they will pick a dman, top 5 d in this draft are better than any habs d prospects including guhle
stop saying that Demidov play in the KHL. He's not even in the VHL.. it's MHL!
No way the Swiss league is better than the AHL. The level of physical play is not comparable.
Demidov did his performance in the MHL. A lot of scouts believes that the MHL is not a great junior league. Weaker than the Q. Thats need to be considered.
The Q ouf…
It’s not about the league lmao… It’s about the skill of the player and how their game will translate to the NHL… The Q is a very weak league, But Crosby came from the Q, MacKinnon came from the Q, Huberdeau, Marchand, PLD All came from the Q lol and many more… The NTDP and USHL are not as good as WHL or OHL and the NTDP and USHL has produced some of the best players like Adam Fantilli, Jack Hughes, Cole Caufield, Trevor Zegras, Auston Matthews, Quinn Hughes, The list goes on… Just because Demidov is playing In the MHL does not mean he is not as good as he is right now.. You look at the player, You look at their game. Watch how they skate with the puck, Watch Their playmaking, Watch their Two Way game, Watch their physicality, their shot, IQ the list goes on you have to watch the player and come to a conclusion on how their games will translate to the NHL and everything I have seen up to this point is a dominant player who’s game will translate well to the NHL. Demidov does EVERYTHING you expect an NHL superstar to do… Cale Makar played in the AJHL which is not an amazing league it’s actually not great at all and he’s a generational Dman 😂😂… Saying Demidovs play needs to be “considered” because he’s playing in the MHL is a WEAK argument, Absolute nonsense… His play is very translatable to the NHL and he’s going to be a special player…. It does not matter what league you play in when you can handle the puck like Demidov you are going to thrive in the NHL for sure! Mcdavid, Makar, Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Crosby etc the list goes on are all players who handle the puck like it’s nothing special lol and Demidov does that as well and his competitiveness will only further improve his game… This kid is going to be special and thinking otherwise because he plays in the MHL is absolutely hilarious 😂🤦🏼♂️… We shall see how much Demidovs game should have been “considered” when he’s a superstar in the NHL….
@@tsifty1 The QMJHL has won the Memorial Cup 7 times in the last 11 years
zegras voted most overrated player in the nhl ......by the players ....just saying
I have a very good feeling it doesn't matter who we draft he will be the next Gretzky.
A little update on this kid people have been raving about he will get better with age.
Slakovsky MINUS 9 in his last 5 hmm seems like he is getting better,,,,,3 points ALL on the powerplay so ZERO points 5 on 5 LMAO yep he's getting better as time moves on.
There is a reason our best prospects were picked lower than top 10>>> Cole and Hutson.BOTH are small both play small and both are one dimensional players .BTW Hutson has been his teams worst minus pretty much all year not only worse but on a team that only had 1-2 other minus players.
Reinbacher has the same flaw Mailloux and Arber has he is slow of foot to get going.Sure on NA ice there is less room but quickness still matters because there are rebounds and loose pucks that require split second reactions.It is the same reason I cringe watching D.Savard he is slow as molasses.
Thing is NHL players don't yell over to guys like Reinbacher and say "hey dude I'll let you get going before I do anything" ..lol.
Grant did Il serpente dirty by listing off all of his bad draft takes
No we will not draft a beauty, we will draft an average hockey player once again because we will go for something off the left field again like we always do. Then say, “he’s a steal” we always do the wrong pick.
Montreal would have been better off drafting Leonard in 2023 and a defenseman in 2024. Nevertheless, they need to draft at the 2024 entry draft a 1C or a top 6 power forward, but none of them will be available to them. Likely guys like Catton, Connelly or Helenius might still be there to Montreal but they are "smallish" players. Basically, they need a Cayden Lindstrom but he will surely be gone by the time Montreal makes their pick. However, if they go for the best player available, then it might be another defenseman...time will tell !!!
@@powers1500 exactly!!! Couldn’t have said it better.
Quentin Musty and Trevor Connolly...Snake is always correct ....Grant is a hater
No
Reinbacher is a dud. 2nd or 3rd pairing defense.
!Q is the worst league in Canada. No defence.
Let's have less McCagg and more snake
Agreed
I like both they have their opinion and their style and give different points of view CHOICE is good
Il Serpente please
