There is a new trade update on Chicago Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel from analyst David Pagnotta, as he continues to be involved in trade rumours.
There is still plenty of smoke surrounding Chicago Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel, who is playing in the last year of his current deal and can become an RFA next summer.
So far this year, Reichel has 3 points (2G, 1A) in just 2 games, but his name continues to pop up in trade rumours.
Per a new report from NHL analyst David Pagnotta, Reichel is getting frustrated over the lack of progress on a trade but also points out that other NHL teams aren't willing to pay a major price for him.
