The Montreal Canadiens players are gearing up for training camps, with intense competition on the blue line. Young talents like Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris, Justin Barron, and Jayden Struble will be vying for a spot. The fifth overall pick in 2023, David Reinbacher, despite predictions of primarily playing in Laval, is aiming for the NHL. He trained with league players all summer and we have just learned that he will participate in the 2026 Olympic qualification tournament with Austria. Reinbacher's participation can be seen as an opportunity for him to play competitive matches before the camp or as a sign that the Canadiens do not yet see him as ready for the NHL this season. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Kyle_Cush/status/1824477556474544393'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: DansLesCoulisses <a href='https://www.danslescoulisses.com/david-reinbacher-va-representer-lautriche-au-tournoi-de-qualifications-pour-les-jo-2026/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>David Reinbacher va représenter l'Autriche au tournoi de qualifications pour les JO 2026</a>
