The Chicago Blackhawks traded Lukas Reichel to the Vancouver Canucks for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Reichel's play improved in the early stages of 2025-26, but he was no longer in the Blackhawks' long-term plans, averaging just 9:52 of total ice time.
His lack of production since arriving in Chicago led to a diminished role, with youngsters like Frank Nazar and veteran role players like Ryan Donato passing him up in the lineup.
Reichel never put up more than eight goals and 22 points in a single season.
