Reichel's gonna pull an Alex Vlasic next season and make you eat your words.

OVERPAY

Your shtick is silly. It's like 200k over league minimum. There's nothing wrong with it.

Reichel's gonna pull an Alex Vlasic next season and make you eat your words.

Vlasic figured out what to do with his 6'6" body.

Reichel has nothing he can pull out of his ass to turn things around. He's a bum.

KD killing it with these contracts

 

[bwana63]

perfect

 

[WarriorofTime]

Hopefully he is able to BRIDGE the gap between being a good AHL player and becoming an established quality NHL player.

 

[Drumman44]

Good trade bait contract too

We need to poo emoji for Musto

 

[ChiHawks10]

Good trade bait contract too

If he figures it out then he won't be trade bait. He'll be a top 6 piece.

Fine deal

Hopefully when Richardson is fired the new coach will allow him to play and utilize him properly

 

[Dead Meat]

He looked very good at the end of the season....hope he keeps it up and thrives with somebody like Nazar

 

[WarriorofTime]

Fine deal

Blaming the Coach for Reichel's poor year is so weak, lol. Reichel was "allowed to play" more than just about any player in the NHL that performed as poorly.

Reichel couldn't even put up points with Bedard

He had every opportunity to prove himself and he squandered it

There's many things you can criticize Richardson for, but this isn't one of them

Reichel is a bum

 

[Dead Meat]

He's 21 and makes 1.2 on a team with fiddy million to blow.

Just stop.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Hawks gonna be busy in two years time

 

[Hawkaholic]

Fine deal

I mean, there's zero logic in having him 6 spots higher than Phillips.

Vlasic over Phillips? Be serious

You'd think you would learn not to speak in such absolutes. But... here we are.

If I could go back and quote the better ones that are now in locked threads... whoooooooa boy.

I think the part I blame is , he should have stopped the center experiment much sooner. and then when they did stop they moved him around so much that its hard to regain your confidence. Also putting him with bedard does not make sense. He struggles along the boards and so does bedard.

Fine deal.

Kid has all the tools to become a top 6 forward. Looking forward to see how he improved over the summer in October.

We need to poo emoji for Musto

maybe for the draft, aka peak Musto time. until then, I'm going with the face palm

imagine carping about $1.2M x 2 for a 22 yo

 

[clydesdale line]

That is a great deal. Reichel needs to prove himself before he gets the big bucks. I hope we see the guy we saw the last game of the season consistently. I do question his overall softness but his talent is undeniable.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

prime candidate to be involved in a hockey deal with the futures they have from other teams to improve the top 6 if something better comes along but until then its a really smart contract from KD to give Reichel more time to prove himself

That’s what I’m thinking too. Great contract to trade at the draft so we can move from #20 closer to #15.

I think his talent is quite questionable actually. I’d be happy if he were traded at the draft.
