NHL Draft profiles: Reinbacher could be first defenseman selected

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- There's a pretty good chance that David Reinbacher will be the first defenseman to hear his name called when the NHL Draft kicks off on June 28 in Nashville, Tenn.

Reinbacher, 18, was one of the prospects the Penguins met with at last week's scouting combine in Buffalo, N.Y. He's expected to be a mid-first round pick later this month, and could potentially still be available when the Penguins are on the clock with the 14th overall pick.

If Reinbacher is still available at No. 14, he'd be a pretty enticing option, especially for a team that would like its pick to be available to make an impact in the NHL relatively soon.
