The Montreal Canadiens have had a miserable year, as we know. It was expected.
But as everything is not always imperfect, a club that rebuilds like the Canadian still has the chance to have moments when everything seems possible. And with the draft approaching, that’s what we’re going through.
After all, right now pretty much every big prospect is likely to be available for CH. Not Connor Bedard or Adam Fantilli, but you get the idea.
Let’s say it’s not a luxury that Tampa Bay Lighting can afford, for example.
All that to say that in fifth place, we know that the Canadian will surely have the heavy task of deciding whether Matvei Michkov will come to Montreal or if he will potentially start his career in the NHL… at the other end of the 20. #Coyotes
No, I don’t think the Coyotes will move to Quebec, but I think they will move anyway.
If the Canadiens don’t draft Michkov (which is likely) and Leo Carlsson and Will Smith are already gone, the Canadiens management might look outside the box.
And she might as indicated by Nicolas Cloutier of TVA Sportshis blue line man via David Reinbacher.
A reliable source in Europe tells me that the #CH has a particular interest in David Reinbacher. His head coach last season, who compares him to Seider, also feels the defender will be drafted early on June 28.

The Austrian, who recently left for the hospital at the World Championship, is the best defender of his vintage. He is 6’2 and weighs 185 lbs. And of course, he is right-handed, which can attract the Canadian.
After all, besides Logan Mailloux and Justin Barron, it’s slim on the right in Montreal.
The young man, who played in Switzerland last year, would therefore, according to the TVA Sports journalist, be in the sights of the Canadian. He is not the first to make such remarks.
For what? Because Brian Wilde and David Ettedgui have also held a similar speech in recent weeks.
And clearly, we can understand why the Canadiens would like to draft such a defender. After all, if he does indeed become a Moritz Seider, the Canadian will be happy to have him in his ranks.
Because yes, there are comparisons to that effect. Whether it’s a TVA Sports source or whether it’s Jeff Tomlinson, who coached Reinbacher in Switzerland this season, it holds up.
At the same age, I would tell you that I prefer Reinbacher’s game with the puck to that of Seider. – Source of Nicolas Cloutier
In Reinbacher, we are talking regarding a defender who has no faults and who is mentally strong. We see him becoming a great first-pair player and if he can put some vigor into his shot, he will potentially become more than difficult to stop.
He is said to be able to mount the puck well, which is important in the modern NHL.
In two years, if we give him a real chance, he will produce in the National Hockey League.
I have no concerns regarding his offensive skills. – Jeff Tomlinson, coach of David Reinbacher
His humility off the ice, which does not translate in the same way on the ice, might make him a player equipped to play in Montreal… if that is the direction that the CH decides to take.
Currently, he is the fifth best prospect in Europe. It is said that it would not be impossible to believe that he might come out quite high since many teams like what they see. A club would even think of going up to the repechage to choose it.
The candidacy is interesting because everyone takes it for granted that the Canadiens will go with a fifth-ranked forward. What if Reinbacher came to change the plans?
After all, maybe if the CH drafts such a high-ranking defender, the GM has a plan in mind to go following another good-quality draft pick in the top-20? Who knows?
I think, however, that if the Canadiens draft Reinbacher fifth overall, a goaltender will not necessarily be chosen with the Panthers’ choice.
Imagine a future where the CH would have, on its blue line, David Reinbacher, Logan Mailloux, Justin Barron, Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, Arber Xhekaj and Lane Hutson, to name a few…
