Lukas Reichel will play in his 10th NHL game on Saturday, which means the first year of his entry-level contract will be burned. Here’s why the Blackhawks are OK with that.
The Anaheim Ducks handled Trevor Zegras' development similarly, contract situations aside. Zegras began the 2020-21 season in the AHL, was recalled by Anaheim at the end of February, sent back down in early April, called back up three and a half weeks later to play the final seven games with the Ducks, and then returned to the AHL, where he played the postseason.
Reichel has been a point-per-game player in the AHL, where he has 49 points in 49 games. He has zero points through nine NHL games, but you have to wonder how much of that is a product of the overall state of the Blackhawks. "He’s come, not a long way, but he’s come a little ways," King said of Reichel's performance at the NHL level."I don’t think he’s quite ready. I mean, if you had him on a stronger team, that you could support him a lot better and hide him a little more, I think it’d be better for the kid. But we don’t have that luxury right now.
"So you’re putting a young kid in with young kids and they’re making mistakes. It doesn’t help. He’s going to be a hockey player. He’s got everything you want. He’s just light and he’s young."
