Marco D'Amico Outlines the Only Scenario Where the Canadiens Might Trade Reinbacher
The name David Reinbacher has resurfaced in trade discussions, and this time, a well-known journalist has shared the only conditions that could justify such a scenario.
It's Marco D'Amico who started the debate on X, explaining that a trade involving the young defenseman should only be considered in a very specific situation, in his view.
According to him, the Montreal Canadiens must absolutely keep Reinbacher unless they receive in return an established and young second-line center who fits into Kent Hughes' long-term plan.
I have to admit that, for now, I don't think that's very likely to happen.
Marco D'Amico explains in which case trading David Reinbacher could make sense for the Montreal Canadiens
D'Amico summarized his opinion:
"If he's the centerpiece of a trade to get a long-term number-two center, I'd be open to having that discussion. But it has to be an established player - the kind of player like Mason McTavish. Because if you trade him now, you're doing it at a lower value than average - as they say, it would be a sell low."

I think he summed up the situation really well. Reinbacher who recently returned from injury and was sent to Laval, still has enormous potential.
I understand that the Canadiens might be tempted to swing for the fences with a big move down the middle, but they absolutely can't afford to do anything foolish.
At 20 years old, the Austrian prospect represents an important piece of the Canadiens' future on the blue line.
But in a league where quality centers are rare, some wonder if Kent Hughes might at least listen to offers.
For now, it seems that most observers agree that trading him would be a mistake - unless a player of Mason McTavish's caliber is truly on the table.
