Yes. And it seems more likely to me, than NL. There's always space for your most recent 5th overall.

Pretty sure I seen a while ago that it was the NL or NHL for him. He'll be logging big minutes other there anyways. Last year he was playing a lot.

The boomers are likely already forgetting those years from the past. I'd reckon you're on par with them about not seeing a Cup while you are both alive.Me too, the boomers were spoiled... We can't even watch and enjoy a PPG+ player.

Watch it. We are X and we remember!
I'M X and I remember -- don't know for how long, though -- but the boomers have a very blurry memory by now...

Ha, well a boomer is just three years before me, so I do think some do remember.
The boomers, that sadly massively left us in 2020, missed the most unique award won by the Habs when they made to the SCF in 2021.
What's 24 Stanley Cup to 1 Clarence S. Campbell Bowl!

When Hughes has finished building his team, maybe they'll bring Bergevin back.He should have enough assets to acquire end of the road NHLers that can get us to the SCF again, even if that means signing them to overly long and expensive contracts...

Seems like a short-sighted decision. I really wish the Habs would finally let their top prospects develop on their own teams without doing silly things like this. Many other teams do it and the players turn out fine. It's not like the Habs meddling has yielded much success, I don't know why they keep doing it.

He's here for camp and then going back. Seems alright to me but you never know I guess

I do Three bullets.
NHL training camp + NHL pre-season games > NL training camp + NL pre-season games + 2 NL regular season games.
Simple equation really
What he's 'missing out on' in the NL for a couple weeks will not be derailing his overall development as a Hockey player.. if anything, we are adding to it.
It's Hockey.
I'm personally having trouble understanding why there would be any kind of stress or worry at ALL going from preparing to play meaningful hockey by... preparing to play meaningful hockey..?
Like, are people worried about the travel or something..? I'm sure he's BUMMED out and tired yeah lol
I don't get how there's worry for a kid who's preparing to play hockey for the next 7 months in Europe, but we make him take a plane to play hockey in NA for 2 weeks at the highest level there is, and just send him right back np having learned a couple things in NA that he can bring back to Europe and work on, but some people's mindset is OMG what are they doing???? 'Why are they ruining him' ?? Like.. what? Lol
Short-sighted..? This is BIG picture planning actually.. what's short-sighted is your concern honestly

Demidov is a HAB
Most, if not all, teams have their 1st rounders report for training camp unless they are NCAA players.
It's a non-issue.

?? Just let him play with his team.
Most Euros do not come over for training camp their first year unless they are expected to make the team, because it interferes with their season. Dvorsky is in Sweden, for instance. Reinbacher should be in Europe as well. Let him play the full year there.

????? He... WILL be playing with his team..?? After an NHL training camp. Again I want to re-iterate these letters : N H L.
Again like.. why are you and others freaking out about this guy tasting an NHL training camp instead of a swiss league training camp (which he just DID anyway) and then... going to play for his team in Europe like he was going to do anyway??
I am bewildered to your bewilderness on the matter lol
I can't wrap my head around someone being 'against' being privileged enough to even BE apart of an NHL training camp and pick up a few things that might help him out at , you know, playing PRO HOCKEY, while being at the beginning of a potential NHL career?
Like what is it you are so afraid of?? He won't be able to water his plants?? His team mates will wonder where he is??
He will be 'losing' all this valuable hockey practice time..... to go practice hockey at a higher level??
Please help me out here.

Reinbacher already knows he will go back to Switzerland after the Camp. For him, it's a matter of gaining valuable experience. I really hope Habs brass won't change their mind about his development and suddenly decide to keep him in Laval or even worse at NHL level. They should had used the same precaution with Slaf last season. Of course the #1 OA tag almost forced them to keep him aboard.

95 here , all I know is a bad product. My entire life. Crazy.Me too, the boomers were spoiled... We can't even watch and enjoy a PPG+ player.
Its what makes me a big fan of the NHL , if the habs were good I wouldn't have had to become so interested in the rest of the league to get my fix lol.
Genuinly a bottom 5 product in the entire league in that timespan , probably up there with Arizona ,
Even teams like Minnesota and Nashville have iced better forwards out there lol
Honnestly I can't name a team with more mediocre forwards in that timespan than Arizona compared to us lol
Exposure to the rythym of the Big Club plus the development team will come up with some "home work." It's always been a perk for the kids.

Like I said, he will miss out having continuity with his team. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just not a fan of the decision.
Most NHL teams let their Euros play the season in Europe. Habs never do, and then they never have as much success with their Euro picks.

It's common for european prospects to come here and attend the training camp before going back in Europe. Sometimes the opposite happens too - players will train with an european team before coming in NA for the NHL camp. I don't understand why you think it's a big deal. It happens almost every year.
We let plenty of players develop in Europe. In fact it's the opposite (ex: Slaf) that is rare.

In this particular case I'm not worried about it because Reinbacher is well established in Kloten, was the team's leader in even strength ice time. Kloten's head coach is still Jeff Tomlinson who is highly unlikely to reduce Reinbacher's ice time because of his NA trip.
Generally I agree though that prospects should remain with their teams if they're not expected to leave Europe anytime soon.
A horrible example is Jiri Felcman who played a pedestrian season in a bad junior league last season but has a spot waiting for him in the SL which is of course a pro league. Huge difference in level of play and he's gonna count as an import for one more year (you can only dress two imports in the SL). His team is one week away from game 1 but Felcman is about to travel to the States to play a rookie tournament with the Blackhawks. Felcman is gonna go right back to juniors when he returns because he never had a chance to compete for his spot. Might get a chance later in the season but it's just stupid.

Continuity..?
It's a couple of f***ing weeks lol, with an NHL team no less
You're making it sound like he will have permanent jetlag behind his team all season long, like.. what?
It's not like its University and he's "behind on his classes" or something.. it's.. Hockey lol
It's fine. Everything he learns here during training camp, he will take back with him overseas. He'll also get a taste what he needs to work on for play at the NHL level. There's no screwing around with the kid.
