Rumors are swirling that the Chicago Blackhawks are in the market to trade former first-round pick Lukas Reichel ahead of the 2025-26 season. Reichel, who Chicago selected 17th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, had a letdown of a season in 2024-25. The 23-year-old netted just eight goals and 22 points in 70 games for the Blackhawks. After scoring a total of 20 goals and 54 points in 169 career games in Chicago, the six-foot forward is rumored to be on his way out. In 2019-20, he scored 12 goals and 24 points in 42 games in his age 18 season.
