also big difference in talent levelyeah lafreniere was naturally pushed down a lineup full of talented wingers. Reichel is, uh, not

enitshistle and johnson! lol not the same as the 3rd line in New York. It should have been AA a center but he was hurt by the time they woke up and realized Lucas was not a center. bedard needs guys that can dig things out in the boards. Rechel, kurashev and bedard are just to small as a top line. they are going against top line D. they got manhandled.Someone remind me who his most common linemates were. Reichel has been in Richardson's doghouse since inception.
Kyle would never acquire Holtz. He's the opposite of players he likes.Reichel for Holtz?
Two bums destined for KHL greatness.Reichel and Teply both (small sample ) seem to be flourishing together .
They are good friends. Both European guys around the same age who have been in what must feel like a very foreign place in Rockford, IL as a smaller sized Midwest American city for a few seasons. They would room together on road trips and such.Reichel and Teply both (small sample ) seem to be flourishing together .
Been okHow's Reichel looking since being back? Anything more promising?
He hustles his ass off now but … the puck still always seems to die on his stick.How's Reichel looking since being back? Anything more promising?
Not nearly as much. He's skating with the puck a lot more often than he did earlier in the season.Haven't caught much of these west coast games, but is he still trying to play a dump and chase game? Automatic turnover.
It's his fault he sucks though.5 games, 4 games against bad teams, 67 minutes.
It's not his fault he was called back up.
Yes. Both are true in my opinion.It's his fault he sucks though.
The plan for him was perfectly clear. He wanted to play C, he was drafted as a C, so they tried him there. He sucked at it, they put him back where he was clearly comfortable last year, and he has sucked there too.Yes. Both are true in my opinion.
The plan for him or the execution for a plan for him, along with the evaluation of him, failed this year. It sucked.
He's objectively bad at NHL hockey, at some point you have to not be bad at it regardless of circumstances. That's on him.
I dont think he fits with bedard, they both are not strong enough at this point. I know you call him a bust what do you call enwhisitle and raddysh? they are both 4 years older. I think he needs a off season and a few players that play with speed. IE AA yes ENT noHow did he look with Bedard this year in the short time he played with him? I say put him at RW with Bedard for the rest of the year and see if he can get anything going. Otherwise start him back in the AHL next year and have him earn his way back up. He doesn't have much confidence or ability to make plays right now.
Not great.How did he look with Bedard this year in the short time he played with him? I say put him at RW with Bedard for the rest of the year and see if he can get anything going.

He's not a bust, he's not a top 6 NHLer either at this point and he's struggling to show signs he's capable of being that with more development.I dont think he fits with bedard, they both are not strong enough at this point. I know you call him a bust what do you call enwhisitle and raddysh? they are both 4 years older. I think he needs a off season and a few players that play with speed. IE AA yes ENT no
What makes you think the caps would’ve done that?Flip Reichel for a big physical grinder type that can PK.
That way they'll be at least useful. Reichel isn't useful.
Could've traded him for Andrew Cristall. Could go down as the biggest L in Kyle's career.
Time to cut your losses.
