In recent hours, the selection of defender David Reinbacher by the Montreal Canadiens has generated a large number of reactions, and unfortunately, most of these reactions have been negative.

However, an expert has just enlightened us.

The "hockey data" expert, and Montreal native, Thibaud Chatel, has worked extremely hard with teams in Switzerland to collect data and provide very accurate advanced analyses.

His team seriously analyzed 22 of Reinbacher's matches with Kloten, and they came to the following conclusion:


"To delve deeper, we also have a prospects model that examines every player from 16 to 22 years old and projects their potential career until the age of 30.

Wow, that is extremely exciting. According to them, Reinbacher was the 2nd best player available in this draft. To be continued...
