David Reinbacher in Montreal? Big statement from Jeff Gorton about the Austrian defender
The Montreal Canadiens officially kick off their new season today, with the holding of their classic annual Golf Tournament, live from Laval-Sur-Le-Lac.
While nearly 40 players were present today at this event, in addition to all the members of the management and coaching staff, several important people spoke to the media this morning, including Jeff Gorton.
When a very interesting question was asked about the Canadiens' most recent first-round pick, David Reinbacher, specifically whether he could make the team's lineup this season, the Vice President of Hockey Operations made a statement that caught the fans' attention.
He mentioned that the Austrian defender is expected to play the next season in Europe, while openly stating that the upper management will remain attentive to his game during the rookie camp and the team camp in a few days. The Canadiens will be open to certain scenarios based on the young man's performance in the coming weeks.
This is still interesting news, as Reinbacher's potential place in Martin St-Louis' roster is not entirely impossible for the season's opening match.Let's just say that it certainly adds some spice to the preseason games.
