When you see the names included, you really have to wonder how Demidov could have been left out.
Among the invited players we clearly recognize are 2025 first-overall pick Matthew Schaefer, as well as forwards Ryan Leonard (WSH), Beckett Sennecke (ANA), Tij Iginla (UTA), and Gabriel Perreault (NYR).
Special mention also goes to the Quebec-born players Jordan Dumais (CBJ) and Frédéric Brunet (BOS).
David Reinbacher, age 20, is a right-shot defenseman standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 207 pounds. He was drafted 5th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 2023 (1st round).
He collected 5 points in 10 games with the Laval Rocket last season in the AHL and will now aim to earn a spot in the NHL this year in Montreal.
