Best career among players 25 years old and under: Reinbacher ahead of Caufield on the Snake’s list

The Montreal Canadiens have the luxury of being able to count on good young players. There are already guys in place, but there are others coming in too.

In the recent episode of Processus, the Snake had fun building a list of the “best players under 25” within the organization, but it’s mostly related to the career they will have respectively.

The list was not only created in relation to the players’ talent: the Snake ranks each of the guys with their potential and with the career they will have. The nuance is important.

The Snake ranks Ivan Demidov, Lane Hutson, and Nick Suzuki in his top 3. He wouldn’t have placed Hutson in 2nd place before the start of the season, but after seeing how good he is, his way of thinking has changed.

But it’s mostly the middle of the ranking that interests me because he places Slaf, Reinbacher, and Caufield in 4th, 5th, and 6th place on his list.

For the Snake, Reinbacher will be more useful than a guy like Caufield because he can do several things on the ice:

If Reinbacher becomes a better player than Cole Caufield, the Habs will have a very good defenseman in their hands.

Because in fact, Cole Caufield is already part of the National League’s elite. The Habs’ #13 is tied for 11th place (with Alex DeBrincat) among the best scorers in the NHL, and his points-per-game pace (0.88) is more than interesting since the start of the season.

But it also partly shows that David Reinbacher has great potential.

The defenseman has not been able to progress as he would have liked since the beginning of the last season because he has been a bit unlucky. It was painful in Kloten because the team was bad, and he got injured even before the 24-25 season began.

But since his return to the game, we can see how talented he is to help the Habs in the future. That’s why Simon Boisvert placed him so high on his list, and I agree with him on that level.

Note, in conclusion, that Michael Hage (7th), Jacob Fowler (8th), Kaiden Guhle (9th), and Alex Newhook (10th) complete the Snake’s ranking.

Again, I have trouble finding anything negative in his ranking.


Overtime

– The video is perfect.

– I wouldn’t change anything.

– He’s so underrated.

– It won’t have taken long.
