In recent matches, things have been going well for David Reinbacher.
My colleague Marc-Olivier Cook also gave a summary of his latest matches yesterday.
But since the start of the season, things have not necessarily been rosy, so much so that he has fallen in the rankings of the best prospects. At least, that of Marc Dumont. The former employee of the Montreal team ranks the Austrian seventh.
It’s time for another edition of the #GoHabsGo prospect power rankings!
Lots of movement, with a familiar prospect taking the top spot.
Defenceman Logan Mailloux made the biggest jump on the list, while Owen Beck is back in the top 3.

For informational purposes, Dumont ranked the prospects (a group of B/B- prospects, according to Simon Boisvert) using their statistics from December 16 through January 30. A little over a month of sampling, then.
Reinbacher is an excellent prospect and is in the top-3 of many experts, first in that of Simon Boisvert and Martin Therriault. When I saw his position in Dumont’s rankings, I jumped, especially seeing which players are ahead of him.
Obviously, Lane Hutson is in the first row, followed by Jacob Fowler (2), Owen Beck (3), Logan Mailloux (4), Joshua Roy (5) and Filip Mesar (6).
Dumont is aware that Reinbacher plays for a struggling team and that the lack of stability behind the bench is a big factor. But from there to putting Owen Beck, a guy destined to play on the third line, in the top-3? It’s true that he’s picked up more points since leaving Peterborough, but I’m having trouble with this one. Same story for Filip Mesar. He is playing very well in the OHL this season, but he is playing against young players, while the right-handed defenseman faces men.
The right-hander is polarizing, as Marc Dumont said, but he is still one of the team’s best prospects. It is not for nothing that several teams wanted to advance to the last draft to acquire him.
After Reinbacher, Adam Engstrom, Bogdan Konyushkov and Cedrick Guindon complete the top-10. No Luke Tuch or Emil Heineman, then. In Tuch’s case, one Platform X user wondered why he wasn’t in the team’s top 10 prospects.
The creator of the rankings responded that he plays with two of the best players in the country (Lane Hutson and Macklin Celebrini) and produces at a decent rate, nothing more.
The issue with Tuch is that his production is a bit of a mirage. He’s playing on the top line with Macklin Celebrini and is being fed from the blueline by Lane Hutson.
He’s playing with two of the best players in the country, and the production is just okay.
