The writing was on the wall with Reichel. If he couldn’t figure out KD had a type in drafting guys who competed defensively that’s on Reichel.
I am 100% for developing and giving your prospects chances, but if that player doesn’t have that inner dog in him it’s always best to cut ties with them.
Thanks, Frenchy!
I am glad (along with the rest of us “Buzz-bums”) that we are here with you!
Appeciate you,
Wiz
Agreed wholeheartedly, although I never was able to post as a BuzzBum. My account never worked, so I was reading all of you in the background since Al C. was the blogger.
Wow, you’re going back a lotta yrs if you were reading Al at HB. Sucks you couldn’t post but I remember you from somewhere. I don’t get around to too many message boards on the internets but I could swear I know a Haru from somewhere. .. You post anywhere else under that name?
With each game that goes by the Hawks are giving us more and more to post about and so far nearly every bit of it is good this yr. You got a lotta catching up to do.
Reichel dumped to VAN for a 2027 4th round pick.
Not much return, but sounds like Reichel is the one that asked for a trade. Honestly, I think some of this is on the Hawks coaches who spent too much time trying to make him into something he isn’t.
We’re gonna find out to some degree if the Hawks handled Reichel poorly. I hope the kid can find what’s missing but I’m not expecting much. Thru multiple coaches, good and bad, every benefit of every doubt for a few yrs now, preferential slotting and the guy finds ways to disappear the majority of the time.
But sure, a case can be made that most prospects wouldn’t make it thru the tank yrs. … Vancouver is a solid squad and looked good v the Hawks a week ago. Not a bad place to land for the Kraut.

Makes sense, watching again last night makes one good defensive effort out of 4 or 5. Plays like a passenger, wish him luck but no reason to keep him on with hungrier players behind him.
We haven’t had a trio Rinzel, Nazur and Donato in 5 years who could pull off last nights winning goal. They’re technically our 2nd line but with the way Blashill’s mixing guys more like 1A and 1B.
Don’t know about you but I can’t pause or rewind games so it’s a chore to keep up with who’s on the ice together and what line it is. Fun though watching Blashill mix and match….. Dude is batting like 1.000 this yr with his shuffling while keeping the whole thing “normal” enough for the players that they pretty much keep their structure.
The best save he made last night he didn’t get credit for. That back hand flip by Kucherov along the baseline and Knight had the presence of mind to duck under it and not knock it into his own net was one of the most impressive quick thinking paid I’ve ever seen by a goalie.
Dots, my opinion hasn’t changed a bit from the day KD hit that grand slam trade…. I can’t believe Knight is a Hawk. Can not believe our luck as Hawk fans. If his career goes as it damn well might they’re gonna raise Jones’ number to the rafters for being the trade piece to make Knight a Hawk.
By bad it was Teuvo who stripped the puck. I think Rinzel had one earlier?
He did.
I think Kucherov probably felt pretty bad after the goal against. He was stripped of the puck, he tried to stop the pass to Nazar and missed and then he was slow on the backcheck and Donato beat him to the open ice on the goal.
