The Canadiens' first-round draft pick, David Reinbacher, takes absolutely nothing for granted. The 18-year-old has a summer job that's a far cry from traditional employment. While most of the top five overall picks have successful NHL careers and average $40 million, it's clear that Reinbacher isn't in it just for the money. He eats hockey for lunch, and here's the proof. <q>I love the fact that David Reinbacher (drafted 5th overall by the Tricolore in 2023) has another job as a scout, a job to which he plans to return in the summer, shortly. I don't know if he yet realizes that 95% of the first 5 picks overall play more than 200 games in the NHL. Most of the top 5 picks have NHL careers lasting more than 10 years and career earnings in excess of $40 million. But I still love it. It's nice to have options. - Byron Bader</q> So, not only is the young defenseman dedicated to his sport, he's also got a whole hockey head. He's a leader in the making. To be a scout at 18, you have to do it! <blockquote class=twitter-tweet><p lang=en dir=ltr>I kind of love that David Reinbacher (drafted 5th overall by the Habs in 2023) has a side thing as a recruiter, to which he plans to return to over the summer.<br><br>Not sure if he realizes yet that 95% of top 5 picks play 200+ games in the NHL.<br><br>Most top 5 picks have NHL careers that...- Byron Bader (@ByronMBader) <a href=https://twitter.com/ByronMBader/status/1679163908924510210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>July 12, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js charset=utf-8>
