Per a new report from analyst Rick Dhaliwal, the Vancouver Canucks may already be preparing to trade Lukas Reichel not long after getting him from the Chicago Blackhawks in a trade.

It looks like former Chicago Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel may have to repack the bags he had not long ago when he was traded from the Blackhawks to the Vancouver Canucks.
Per a new report from analyst Rick Dhaliwal, the Canucks may already be thinking of moving Reichel despite having recently acquired him from the Blackhawks.
"Lukas Reichel was a healthy scratch last night. One point in 13 games, no shots on goal in the last six. With Höglander and Blueger not far away, a Lekkerimäki call-up not far away, Reichel is now available. I heard last night that you can get Reichel out of Vancouver. I think they're okay with trying to move him is what I was told last night."

Reichel was traded from the Blackhawks to the Canucks on October 25 for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft.
He only has a single assist in the 13 games he's played in a Canucks sweater.

Lukas Reichel Was Traded From The Blackhawks To The Canucks

Reichel was taken with the 17th overall pick by the Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft while playing in the DEL in his native Germany.
He would play the first several years of his career in the Blackhawks organization, first with the AHL affiliate Rockford IceHogs and then in Chicago.
But he never came close to living up to the potential the Blackhawks envisioned, and they decided to cut their losses last month.
In 187 career games, Reichel has 59 points (22G, 37A).
