On Saturday, the Canucks announced that they had placed Centre Lukas Reichel on waivers. Reichel was just acquired by the team in October from the Chicago Blackhawks.

Since arriving in Vancouver, Reichel has mostly been a non-factor on the ice. In 14 games, he recorded just one assist and was a minus-five playing 13:06 minutes a night.
