cool. hope youre feeling well
Good news !!! He is a fast skater , he shoots , he scores . He will be the Canucks leading scorer within a week 🎉🎉🎉 Lucas and Max Sasson may be able to skate with Les Canadians . No more Frank S !!!
I keep forgetting Reichel is German. Great pickup.
Couldn’t make it work with a bad team and all the opportunities in the world so coming to an even worse team with a cancerous locker room can’t imagine this is going to make him a NHL player.
Worth a shot..!
What a ridiculoud trade, Canucks fleeced them 😂
Why did the Blackhawks hand him over so cheap?
Reichel at 2C will not work out (he’s 40% in face-offs for his career), he’s better on the wing probably on the other side of debrusk or sherwood
Drew O'Connor should be placed on waivers. Idk what they were thinking signing him to that contract.
Is this all Alvin cooked up?
Reichel never really worked out in Chicago
Is he actually a center? Thought he was a winger that played center in Europe. Big difference
A lot of fans don't like it for racist reasons. They don't like that he's European. They don't have a lot of prospect capital they should be throwing around for a top 6 forward, so they did the next best thing and brought in a guy who might be a diamond in the rough. He's not being brought in to play defence. He's here to hopefully see if he can find chemistry with someone and put up some points. As long as there's no rebuild in sight, this is what you can expect.
Actually, O'Connor is starting to look like a fast player who has no finish.
O'Connor is the new Mikheyev on the Canucks.
U acting like u got a superstar 😂😂 u got a 4th liner 😂😂meatball
Wasn’t that 4th from Chicago for Mikeyev
He played center in Ahl . Also Dineen knows the player very well . Can't hurt
If there's anything this team needs, it's more wingers
first rounder ya but it was a foot dump cause the hawks want to rebuild right unlike Edmonton!
ya anyone with hockey skills is on the german Olympic team get over it!
Great trade for a 4th
Good skill and speed, no confidence low compete and bad defense. Lacks intensity.
He's a reclamation project. A 1st round bust. I wouldn't expect 2nd round center. Maybe for Abbotsford. I hope I'm wrong.
At this point, not even Conor Mcdavid can help us, let alone done random Lukas😢
You sound terrible.. get well soon
Good luck lol
Might boost his confidence to play in the NHL with an AHL team.
Hawks gave Lucas multiple chances. He never performed consistently. Good kid who has speed. But he has not performed.
Hawks have many much better players in their prospect pool.
Hope he does well because he is a good person.
But I would not count on that.
And so we find out that Boeser missed a game because his DOG passed away. Gimme a f'in break. And there's a whole article about TRIBUTES coming in for a DOG. This fanbase is so weak and accepts way too much disrespect. No player ever missed a game in the 80's or 90's because his f'in dog died. Suck it up and deal with it after.
Literally traded for this guy last week in my Vancouver GM mode lol.
Was that not the Podkolzin trade…
Great risk/reward, 💯% worth it!
