Overview
- CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal said on Sportsnet 650 that Vancouver is open to moving the 23-year-old forward.
- Reichel has one assist in 13 games since arriving from Chicago in a late-October deal for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
- He was a healthy scratch against Dallas after sliding from a trial at second-line center to fourth-line wing following David Kämpf’s addition.
- Impending returns for Nils Höglander, Teddy Blueger, and Jonathan Lekkerimäki would further threaten his roster spot.
- With a $1.2 million cap hit he is an affordable depth option, though reports suggest the Canucks may get a modest return or consider waivers if no trade materializes.
