#Habs David Reinbacher says he had a feeling Montreal might draft him but then pushed that thought out of his mind to just enjoy the moment of the #NHLDraft but he was always hoping the #GoHabsGo would be the team to select him.

We don’t know yet. And we probably won’t know for a few years.
One thing is certain, however. Even if the Austrian didn’t seem too keen on the idea of ending up in Montreal, given the impression he gave after the CH’s choice, he’s happy to be in town.
He told the media present at the draft that he’d like to see the CH call his name on the podium tonight.
Reinbacher, who says he’s excited about joining an enthusiastic guy like Cole Caufield, says he had a great meeting with CH management.
The same goes for Matvei Michkov, by the way. In the end, Kent Hughes decided to take a gamble on Reinbacher…
We’ll see what happens in the next few years.
The young defenseman, like every other NHL prospect, knows just how special it is to play in Montreal. The passion, the fans…
The kid can’t wait to see what’s in store for him, I think.
#Habs David Reinbacher on what he knows about the #GoHabsGo: “for sure the fans; they got a great community there, they have passion…the history… and for sure the other guys; there are some funny guys I saw in the videos like Cole Caufield so I’m really excited to meet him!”

We talk about him as a complete defender. A defender with a good defensive nose… And who can produce offensively.
He knows that the NHL is a different league. He knows that to be “successful” in the big league, he’ll have to fine-tune his offensive game…
Even if he’s already recognized as a guy who can support the attack.
#Habs David Reinbacher says areas he would like to improve on now that he’s a #NHL draft pick: his offensive game and his strength to get stronger on the ice.

The player’s plan is clear: Reinbacher wants to play in the NHL.
We agree: he wasn’t about to say otherwise. But I especially like the fact that Reinbacher knows the road ahead won’t be easy.
#Habs David Reinbacher: “for sure it’s my goal to play as soon as possible in the #NHL but I would say [now] is a time to plan, to develop to get to a point where it makes sense to play”

I’m going to end this text by being transparent. Really transparent.
I screamed when I saw the CH pick because I wasn’t happy to see the CH commit to a defenseman in such an offensive lineup.
But Reinbacher seems confident in his abilities, and maybe that’s what prompted Kent Hughes to draft him.
The Austrian looks like a guy with a dog in him (pardon the pun)…
And you know as well as I do just how much the CH’s new management likes players like that.
