The Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks have completed a trade with one another for former first round pick Lukas Reichel.
There is a trade to report between a pair of Western Conference foes, as the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks have officially made a transaction with one another.
The Blackhawks have traded Lukas Reichel to the Canucks for a 4th round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft:
General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have acquired forward Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft.
Last week, NHL analyst David Pagnotta reported that the Canucks were in the market for a middle-6 forward because of the absence of Nils Hoglander, and that GM Patrik Allvin was exploring trade possibilities.
The Vancouver Canucks are believed to be looking for a middle-six forward to add to their roster due to winger Nils Hoglander missing the next eight-to-ten weeks because of an injury. Canucks GM Patrik Allvin has been exploring options, according to separate league sources, but it is unclear if a move is imminent.
So far this year with the Blackhawks, Reichel had 4 points (2G, 2A).
