22-Year-Old Right WingRW
Chicago Blackhawks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
While Reichel was able to log a career-best 65 NHL games this past season, he only increased his point total by one (16) when compared to the previous campaign. The additions of Tyler Bertuzzi and Teuvo Teravainen could bolster Chicago's attacking options but likely will serve to remove Reichel from being a power-play option. If he can play a full 82-game season, the 22-year-old German could push for the 20-point threshold but is unlikely to significantly increase his offensive output moving forward. Read Past Outlooks

Signs two-year extension
RWChicago Blackhawks
May 7, 2024
Reichel signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Reichel hasn't really lived up to expectations since being selected 17th overall in the 2020 Entry Draft -- he logged a career-high 65 games at the NHL level in 2023-24, but the 21-year-old forward managed just five goals and 16 points while posting an ugly minus-29 rating over that span. Reichel will likely be a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, but if he doesn't get his game together at the top level soon, he may not last with the Blackhawks beyond this two-year extension.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Blackhawks fans will understandably be fixated on everything Connor Bedard does this season, but he's not the only high-end prospect Chicago fans have to root for. While Reichel isn't projected to be a generational talent like Bedard, he has the potential to develop into a great top-six forward and should make significant strides this season. Reichel already impressed in 2022-23, scoring 20 goals and 51 points in 55 AHL contests, along with seven goals and 15 points in 23 outings with Chicago. It will be interesting to see if Chicago experiments with playing Reichel and Bedard together, but even if the young duo is kept separate, Reichel is a serious breakout candidate with the potential to breach the 20-goal and 50-point milestones in his first full NHL campaign.
Virtually nothing went right for the Blackhawks at the NHL level a season ago, but Reichel's performance in his first North American campaign was exceptional. Playing the entire year at age 19, Reichel averaged more than a point-per-game (21 goals, 57 points in 56 games) for AHL Rockford. He also managed just one assist in an 11-game stint with Chicago. Reichel should be a regular for the team this coming season given the club's scorched-earth rebuild, but the real fantasy production may be a couple years away.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will participate in AHL playoffs
RWChicago Blackhawks
April 18, 2024
Reichel will join Rockford for the AHL postseason instead of playing for Germany in the IIHF World Championship in May, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Reichel has four goals and 15 points in 64 contests with the Blackhawks this campaign. He has also contributed a goal and seven points in nine outings with Rockford. Although the 21-year-old didn't make major offensive contributions at the top level in 2023-24, he does have plenty of offensive upside -- maybe he'll start tapping into it in 2024-25.
