We just learned surprising news about the Canadiens' 5th overall pick, David Reinbacher.
He has outrightly mentioned having things to do before arriving in North America, where his development might take a different turn by playing on National League-sized ice, notably with the Laval Rocket.
Reinbacher says he still has a year of school, work, and a few things to do before coming.
Marc-Antoine Godin affirmed the same thing about the Austrian defenseman's intentions.
Reinbacher's preference is to return for another year in Switzerland rather than play in the American League for his D+1 year.
Let's just say this isn't going over well in the public opinion of Canadiens' fans who largely disapprove of his selection with the 5th overall pick.
