Vancouver Canucks Trade Grades: Lukas Reichel is worth the shot
The Canucks are bringing in the forward from the Chicago Blackhawks. The team is banking on the idea that too many good prospects can be a problem for a rebuilding team.
Lukas Reichel, the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, was traded to the Canucks in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 draft. According to insider Pierre LeBrun, Reichel had asked for a trade, looking for a better fit elsewhere.
Reichel's agent Allain Roy says things were not contentious. He credits Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson for how things were handled. Says they had been discussing it for a while.
It makes sense for the Canucks to add Reichel, considered one of the best prospects in the league for a few years. The German forward has had a tough couple of years, but the Canucks are willing to take a chance.
Author's summary: Canucks acquire Lukas Reichel from Blackhawks.
