Do the Vancouver Canucks have interest in the likes of Lukas Reichel? Sure, but that’s more about that isn’t not that they don’t like the player.
He’s a player who has some intrigue to him, a guy who has been a very good scorer in the American Hockey League, who is pretty speedy.
But you know who else fits that profile? Arshdeep Bains . And Linus Karlsson, to a degree. (With him it’s the scoring touch, not so much the wheels.)
All this is to say, yes, sure the Canucks could yet add another forward like Reichel, or say Nick Robertson, but before they do, they have some roster decisions to make.
Will it be 14 forwards or eight defencemen?
This is the easy question, the one that comes up every year: you are allowed 23 players on your roster. Usually that includes two goalies, though
