Blackhawks taking prudent approach with Lukas Reichel this season and allowing him to develop in American Hockey League, writes johndietzdh.
When the Blackhawks selected Kirby Dach third overall in 2019, there were those who believed he was destined to become the franchise's next No. 1 center.
The more prudent approach may have been to let Dach develop for one more season with the Saskatoon Blades, his junior team, as most players need to dominate at a level before receiving a promotion. "There's been lots of good instances where organizations make the guys work and earn their ways up," Hawks coach Luke Richardson said after practice Thursday." have to work on certain parts of their game so they don't falter and really get exposed at this level."
"Of course," he said."The whole summer, I was working hard to make the team. ... But you get stronger from there and try to make it a hard . If I play good in Rockford, they kinda have to call me up. That's what I felt like I did ... and I want to show it here now.""He shows some brilliant flashes, but it just doesn't look like he's consistently and physically ready for the NHL -- and to be a centerman especially," Richardson said.
Reichel will likely skate on one of the top two lines against the Coyotes, but he will stay on the wing to limit his responsibilities.
