Recent performances by Hutson and Mailloux make us forget Reinbacher

Does that mean it’s a bad thing?

In my eyes, absolutely not.

The hype surrounding Mailloux and Hutson at the moment allows Reinbacher to have a calmer head…

And it allows him to concentrate on the serious stuff, instead of thinking about what’s being said or what’s happening in the media world.

The Habs sent him back to Europe this season to give him some peace of mind, and by necessity, that’s what’s happening right now, because it’s Mailloux and Hutson who are stealing the spotlight in Montreal.

Next season, however, is likely to be different, as expectations of Reinbacher are set to return.

Let’s not forget, after all, that we’re talking about a fifth-round pick…

And he’ll have to produce, because we know how intense the market is in Montreal.

That said, if Hutson, Mailloux, Slaf, Suzuki or even Caufield are able to take some pressure off him because of the media coverage, it will only help.
