Blackhawks Shock Fans: Reichel Traded to Canucks for Future Draft Pick—What’s Next for the Rising Star?
Lukas Reichel was traded to the Vancouver Canucks by the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.
The 23-year-old forward has four points (two goals, two assists) in five games for the Blackhawks (4-2-2) this season. He had three points (two goals, one assist) in an 8-3 win at the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 15.
“I was fortunate to see him playing in Berlin his draft year. I appreciated his competitiveness, his skillset and his ability to skate,” Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said. “Over the time, you’ve been waiting to see if this guy would be able to take it to the next level and establish himself as an NHL player. It’s been for most of the young players a little bit of an up and down until you establish yourself, but you can see that speed in his game.
