Habs Daily: Reinbacher Praise, Development Camp, Free Agents

All the latest Habs news, recent Montreal Canadiens stories, as well as information from around the National Hockey League.

Habs News

• TSN Scout Craig Button suggested David Reinbacher could one day become as good as Adam Larsson. Former NHLer Daniel Winnik, who plays against Reinbaher in the NLA, disagreed vehemently.

I don’t think this is the right take. Played against him all year in the @NLch_official. Already shows poise, hands, and skating ability greater than Larsson is now. Superior skater who can take shifts over and is playing against men already.
