We have some movement with the Montreal Canadiens today, and it's excellent news. In the past few minutes, two updates have been announced regarding young defenseman David Reinbacher.
First, it was announced that Reinbacher is officially ready to return to play, which is huge for the young player!
"David Reinbacher will play tonight with the Laval Rocket against the Manitoba Moose.
Big reinforcement at Place Bell tonight!"
-Vincent Demuy
Big reinforcement at Place Bell tonight!"

Yes, major reinforcements for the Laval Rocket, and eventually, probably for the Montreal Canadiens as well.
David Reinbacher is ready to return to play: Kent Hughes sends him back to the Laval Rocket
Here is the official confirmation.
"David Reinbacher will return to action tonight with the Rocket.
He was injured on September 28 and was expected to be out for 5-6 months.
In the end, it took 4 and a half months."
- Stephane Leroux

I don't think people realize how big this is, to see the Montreal Canadiens' fifth overall pick in 2025 finally get some playing action this season.
He thought his season was over, that he had lost an entire year of development, but now he will finally be able to play 25 regular-season games plus the playoffs.
This is excellent for his development.
Yes, he can still become a better NHL player than Matvei Michkov.
Think of someone like Brock Faber, for example.
Reinbacher, only 20 years old, recorded 5 points in 11 games last season with the Laval Rocket (with a +6 rating).
More details to follow.
