Blackhawks Send Lukas Reichel to Canucks for 2027 4th-Round Draft Pick

Reichel's underperformance led Chicago to trade him for a 2027 fourth-round pick as Vancouver seeks forward depth amid injuries, Blackhawks easing roster congestion.

  • On Friday, the Chicago Blackhawks traded forward Lukas Reichel to the Vancouver Canucks for the Hawks' own 2027 fourth-round draft pick.
  • Development issues and inconsistent usage limited Lukas Reichel, as Chicago Blackhawks coaching staff flagged his awareness, vision, and hockey IQ deficiencies while frequent line moves and Rockford assignments hindered progress.
  • Playing this season, Lukas Reichel appeared in five of Chicago Blackhawks' first eight games, producing two goals and two assists while registering points in recent bursts.
  • His exit eases Chicago's forward roster crunch and gives rookie Ryan Greene a better chance to stick in the NHL, while the Vancouver Canucks forward group acquired Reichel and may ask him to play center immediately.
  • Looking ahead, the Hawks will face the Canucks on Nov. 5, with Reichel, once the 17th overall pick in 2020, now traded for a fourth-round pick, as Canucks GM Patrick Allvin said.
