The Chicago Blackhawks traded Lukas Reichelto the Vancouver Canucks for a 2027 fourth-round pick in a move that many fans saw coming. While Reichel's play improved in the early stages of 2025-26, it was becoming apparent that he was no longer in the Blackhawks' long-term plans.
He averaged just 9:52 of average total ice time, despite the four points and two goals he put up in the first five games that he saw action.
