Quoting: V1NnY2
Mitts has virtually the same numbers as Caufield this year and would have been second on the team in points last year by a mile. Is he a true elite/all-star caliber player? No. But is he a young quality top 6 player with decent size? Yes.
I’d be curious to see what you expect as a return in a legitimate offer for Reinbacher.
To put it in perspective, habs spent the last 7 years since the departure of Markov to try to find a pmd LHD to play with Subban and Weber, Now, we have a TON of LHD, and we don't want to spend another 7 finding a good RHD to pair with our good LHDs.
And because Dman take more time to develop, we can't draft them last or we will miss our window waiting for them. So I think Reinbacher stays and the habs will either pick BPA, or try to acquire one of the yound RFA stud on the market (aka: Necas, Jarvis, Mitts, ect...)
They all have different price, except the habs are not pressured to do any rushed decision as they are soon entering year 3 of the rebuild and are not expected to compete right now.
