2020 NHL Draft prospect profile: Lukas Reichel is another gem in Germany’s talent mine

Three Germans have first-round potential in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. We have previously evaluated Tim Stützle and John-Jason Peterka and will now continue with Eisbären Berlin’s Lukas Reichel. Stützle has already positioned himself as a lock-on top-tier talent of this year’s class. However, if either Peterka or Reichel get selected on opening night, that would mark a historic event for German hockey. Never before have two players from Germany been selected in the first round of the NHL draft.
