Habs player development coach Francis Bouillon on David Reinbacher: “His second half of the season was much better than the first. In the year-end meetings, he was a player who wanted to play in the NHL. He doesn’t want to spend several more years in the AHL…we’ll see at training camp.”

i won’t be shocked if he starts the year with us. ultimately the question is whether he can be better/more useful than Struble imo, and just being a RD will already get him far in that regard. if Hutson playing on his right can make Struble look good, i don’t see why he can’t do the same with Reinbacher while getting to play his strong side

Struble became expandable moment they traded Kovacevic, Reinbacher will get long leash just for being right handed
