A search through the accounts followed by our top prospect, David Reinbacher, has revealed that he now follows the official St. Louis Blues account on Instagram.<\/p>\n
We can agree that in today’s hockey world, the smallest click a player makes on social media is analyzed as if it were a contract clause set in stone.<\/p>\n
David Reinbacher is one of the cornerstone pieces of the rebuild, and seeing him show interest in another NHL team raises questions.<\/p>\n
Is a major transaction being prepared behind the scenes, or is it simply a young man following his friends around the league?<\/p>\n
The Austrian defenseman, who has played 0 games in the NHL this season due to his knee injury, remains an ‘untouchable’ asset for many.<\/p>\n
Management must walk on eggshells when it comes to handling its young defensemen. If Reinbacher is starting to look elsewhere, it may mean locker-room discussions are heating up more than we think.<\/p>\n
We remember that the St. Louis Blues have often been linked to rumors involving young talent.<\/p>\n
Let’s admit it, the idea of losing a first-round pick that quickly would give cold sweats to any fan at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n
David Reinbacher following the Blues fuels speculation amid Canadiens links to Robert Thomas<\/p>\n
Why is he following the Blues?<\/p>\n
However, we must keep a cool head and avoid seeing conspiracies everywhere there is a “follow” button.<\/p>\n
Many players follow former teammates or rivals simply out of professional respect or personal curiosity.<\/p>\n
This morning, the Twittersphere is on fire and the wildest theories are circulating about the future of the young Austrian.<\/p>\n
We know that Kent Hughes is not afraid to make moves if the offer is right to accelerate the rebuilding process.<\/p>\n
Patience is required, but one thing is certain: David Reinbacher knows how to attract attention without even having to skate.<\/p>\n
We will be watching the next practices of the Laval Rocket and the big club very closely to see if any movement begins to take shape.<\/p>\n
