A major scoop has just surfaced thanks to the team at La Poche Bleue which is extremely pleasing to Canadiens fans, as it involves the club's most recent first-round pick, David Reinbacher.
According to the information that has been revealed, the Austrian defender has already signed his entry contract with the organization. It's only a matter of time before the official announcement is made.
If the Canadiens formalize the agreement within the next few hours, he would be the second player of the 2023 class to sign his first professional contract, after Adam Fantilli, and ahead of the overall first pick, Connor Bedard.
In both cases, these are excellent avenues for the 18-year-old, even though I would prefer to see him emulate defenders Simon Nemec and David Jiricek, both drafted in the top-6 last year, who made the jump this year to the AHL to familiarize themselves with North American rinks and hockey style.
