Canadiens Select David Reinbacher With The No. 5 Pick
1 year agoThe Montreal Canadiens have selected defenseman David Reinbacher with the fifth overall pick of the NHL Draft. Reinbacher becomes the first non-center picked in the 2023 draft and the highest Austrian picked since former NHLer Thomas Vanek. The 18-year-old spent last season playing for Kloten of the Swiss-A League, collecting three goals and 22 points while adding a goal and an assist across three playoff contests. The Canadiens have some young talent up front and decided to go with a rugged blueliner as the club looks to hop back into contention in the coming years. Reinbacher will need some seasoning before he makes his NHL debut.
