Contract-wise, his Value score of 2 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Lukas Reichel's story
Growing up in Germany, Lukas Reichel moved through the youth systems of Starbulls Rosenheim and the Eisbären Berlin organization before making his professional bow in the DEL during the 2019–20 season with Berlin. Those early experiences in German development leagues set the foundation for a North American trajectory. Hockey runs in his family — he is the son of Martin Reichel and the nephew of Robert Reichel — but his ascent came from steady club progression.
Chicago selected Reichel 17th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft, and the club signed him to a three-year entry-level contract on 9 June 2021. He made his NHL debut on 13 January 2022 in a 3–2 win over Montreal and finished that stint with 11 games played and one assist, the first tangible steps of his career split between the NHL and the AHL.
Reichel spent much of the 2022–23 season with the Rockford IceHogs, producing 20 goals and 31 assists in 55 games, while also appearing in 23 games for Chicago and contributing seven goals and eight assists. The 2023–24 season began with him on Chicago’s opening roster; inconsistent results led to a move from centre to wing, several healthy scratches, a demotion to Rockford on 18 February 2024, and a recall on 15 March. He wrapped that NHL season with five goals and eleven assists in 65 games, then returned to Rockford for the Calder Cup playoffs.
On 7 May 2024 the Blackhawks re-signed him to a two-year, $2.4 million extension. He spent the full 2024–25 campaign in Chicago, appearing in 70 games and setting NHL personal highs with eight goals and 14 assists. On 24 October 2025 he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for a 2027 fourth-round pick; after one assist in 14 games he was placed on waivers on 13 December and spent time with the Abbotsford Canucks. On 6 March 2026 he was traded to the Boston Bruins for a 2026 sixth-round pick and initially joined the Providence Bruins in the AHL. Called up to Boston on an emergency basis, he scored his first goal as a Bruin in his debut against the Winnipeg Jets. Reichel’s game is defined by his European development, adaptability between centre and wing, and experience moving between AHL and NHL roles.
