"The Arizona Coyotes selected Dmitry Simashev at the sixth spot, but their guy was David Reinbacher, confirmed the source who preferred to remain anonymous. Then, the Flyers picked Russian Matvei Michkov at the seventh spot. I can't tell you if they preferred Reinbacher over him, but I know the Flyers really liked Reinbacher.
At the eighth spot, the Washington Capitals turned to American forward Ryan Leonard. As was the case with the Coyotes, apparently, it wasn't Plan A.
An employee from the Caps told me: we would take Reinbacher."
