Major: David Reinbacher has made a significant decision for the future of his career
It's increasingly circulating on the web: David Reinbacher will not be part of the Junior World Championship this year. The information suggests that he was not selected by the Austrian team, but that is completely false.
It is his decision not to participate because he prefers to continue his development at the professional level. It must be acknowledged that Austria is participating in the Division 1 tournament, which is less enticing with opponents like Japan, Kazakhstan, Hungary, and France.
"Reached out to Kloten (Reinbacher's team) for confirmation.
The invitation to attend the tournament was indeed sent by Austria. David Reinbacher's camp declined the invite to focus on his development.
Nothing more to say." - Marco D'Amico

So, no, Reinbacher was not overlooked by Austria; he probably would have been their number 1 defenseman.
In fact, it's not even a surprise, as the Montreal Canadiens' first pick in 2023 had hinted at this decision in an interview with the same Marco D'Amico at the beginning of the season.
