Logan Mailloux praises David Reinbacher 'He’s going to be an exceptional player'

If David Reinbacher has been selected 5th overall in 2023, it’s for a reason.

And that reason isn’t hard to understand.

The defender is talented and has great potential. We’re not talking about a flashy player on the ice: we’re talking about a guy who does his job by limiting mistakes. And right-handed defensemen like that in the NHL are worth their weight in gold.

It’s been hard to follow his progress over the past campaign… because Reinbacher hasn’t played much.

He hurt himself at the Canadiens’ practice camp, and his injury forced him to play just 10 regular-season games in Laval. He did well under the circumstances and was even better in the playoffs with the Rocket, which is encouraging for what’s to come.

But there’s one guy who’s been around him this season in Laval, and that guy’s name is Logan Mailloux. In his eyes… there’s no doubt about it: David Reinbacher is going to have a great career in the National League.

Here’s what Mailloux told Marco D’Amico(RG Media):

He’s so good defensively that few players can pass him on the boards or even pass him at all […] He’s going to be an exceptional player. – Logan Mailloux
