“It’s sure he’s going to be in demand”: Tony Marinaro says teams are going to call for Reinbacher

We don’t know what the Canadian will do regarding the trade deadline, tomorrow.

We don’t know if Kent Hughes will add a player to his roster to help them fight for a playoff spot.

But there is one thing we do know, however. Kent Hughes will not trade his best prospects in order to get help. That’s not part of his identity as a GM and it’s not part of his plan. Unless he decides to deviate from that plan… But that would be really surprising.

That doesn’t prevent teams from calling the Canadian to discuss a potential trade.

And at that level, Tony Marinaro believes that there are teams that will call by tomorrow to inquire about David Reinbacher, who has been doing well since his return to Laval.

He discussed it on the set of the JiC show earlier in the evening (TVA Sports):

It’s certain that he will be in demand. – Tony Marinaro

Note: Tony Marinaro is not saying that Kent Hughes is looking to trade his player.

He even believes that there is no chance of seeing Reinbacher being traded.

That being said, it seems that I jumped to conclusions when I saw those comments because it’s the first time we’ve heard Reinbacher’s name in a discussion like that.

But ultimately, Marinaro is right: teams will call because things are going really well for Reinbacher since his return to the game.

We wouldn’t say that he missed several months of activities this season due to his injury that required surgery:

We will have to be patient with Reinbacher because he needs to take the time to play games in Laval in order to progress.

The Canadian will give him the opportunity to develop at his own pace… But seeing Reinbacher play, it’s possible to believe that he will play in the NHL soon.

This is encouraging for the organization and the fans of the Montreal Canadian.
