The Vancouver Canucks acquired forward Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.
The 23-year-old Reichel, a first-round pick (No. 17) of the Blackhawks in the 2020 draft, has two goals and four points in five games for Chicago this season.
Vancouver was in the market for a forward with Nils Hoglander (lower-body) and Filip Chytil (upper-body) expected to miss significant time with injuries.
'Lukas is an exciting young player and someone we feel can help improve our forward group,' Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said in a statement. 'He is a talented playmaker who can create scoring opportunities with his offensive ability. We like the way he moves on the ice and his overall work ethic and feel our coaching staff can help him become a better and more consistent hockey player.'
Over parts of five seasons, Reichel has 58 points (22 goals, 36 assists) in 174 NHL games.
Reichel, the nephew of former NHL center Robert Reichel, was selected to Germany's preliminary roster for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
The fourth-round draft selection heading to the Blackhawks is Chicago's own pick. The Canucks previously acquired it in June 2024 when they traded forwards Sam Lafferty and Ilya Mikheyev to Chicago.
