David Reinbacher is now represented by Kent Hughes’ former firm

Things have been going well for David Reinbacher lately.

The Canadiens prospect has been playing well in Laval, and that's why people have been talking about him in a positive light for the past few weeks. It's nice to see, in a way, because we know how difficult it's been for him since he arrived in North America.
But speaking of the defenseman…

Speaking of the defenseman, it's worth noting that he has decided to switch agents. He was previously represented by Dave and Andrew Maloney at Maloney & Thompson Sports Management (Georges Müller handled his affairs when he was in Europe)… but now he's joining Kent Hughes' former firm at Quartexx.
Reinbacher's new agent, Sean Coffey, is the same agent who represents Lane Hutson and Jacob Fowler:

In all of this… I find the news particularly interesting in terms of timing.
Why?
Because for the past few days, there's been talk of the possibility of the Canadiens recalling him. Lane Hutson and Jacob Fowler, who share the same agent as Reino, play in the NHL, and Kent Hughes is, after all, the GM of the Montreal Canadiens…

Maybe it doesn't mean much in the end.
However, it's easy to draw connections between the player's situation and the news that just broke. The Canadiens need help on defense, the idea of Reinbacher being recalled is circulating… and now he's just joined the team's GM's former agency.
Coincidence? Maybe… but it would be one hell of a coincidence, let's be honest.

In a nutshell
— That would be something.

The Laval dome where FC Supra and the Roses were training collapsed last night.
Fortunately, no one was inside.
