David Reinbacher was selected 5th overall by the Canadiens in the 2023 draft, and expectations are high for him.
After finishing the season with the Laval Rocket, he performed well under the circumstances. He now feels ready to impress both the team's management and the fans.
In an interview with the excellent journalist Nicolas Cloutier from TVA Sports, Reinbacher shared several interesting points.
The defenseman aims to make his mark in the NHL at the upcoming training camp:
"That's been my mentality; I trained for it all summer. There will be fierce competition with the other guys, which will be healthy and push us to another level.
I have no more issues with my knees... I also recovered very well from my hand injury. I really have confidence as the training camp approaches.
I want to get a harder shot so that I'm a bigger threat on the ice."

An interesting statement, but the battle for the blue line will be very intense at training camp. It's likely that players like Logan Mailloux and Lane Hutson are ahead of him since they have played with the Canadiens toward the end of the season.
That's the attitude to have, as you might say, and you're right. Reinbacher appears determined to become a key player for the Canadiens in the coming years.
