The NHLPA announced the roster for this year's 2025 Rookie Showcase. There will be only one Montreal Canadiens prospect packing their bags to attend, and that player is defenceman David Reinbacher.
Montreal’s top defenceman prospect, Reinbacher, missed nearly six months last season after undergoing surgery for a training camp injury. Once he returned to the lineup, the organization felt it was best to ease him back into action. He was rarely used in back-to-back games to avoid any setbacks. However, when he was in the lineup, Reinbacher showed the potential that the Canadiens saw to take him with the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft.

Reinbacher showed enough promise in his limited games last season to get an invite to the 2025 Rookie Showcase, which should surely give him a boost of confidence heading into training camp.
The event will be held on September 3 at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia.
