Wow, I had no idea that Habs fans were so outraged. I feel sorry for Reinbacher. I didn't think it was a bad pick considering how much Reinbacher has been trending over the season.
Quote:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The general reaction from Canadiens fans on the David Reinbacher pick at No. 5 is honestly shocking. The overall outrage is at a level I don’t think I’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something.

This front office led by Jeff Gorton and Kent Hughes has had a relatively smooth ride up until now. This is their first brush with the flip side of the passion of the fan base, the accountability and scrutiny that comes with it. I was told Thursday that Pierre-Luc Dubois mentioned this in weighing his decision between following his heart to Montreal or following his head to Los Angeles, and another front office source took that a step further.
“We’re trying to make Montreal a place players want to play,” he said, “and this stuff definitely doesn’t help.”
