Blackhawks Announce a Controversial Roster Move
The Chicago Blackhawks have made a controversial roster move by sending star rookie forward Lukas Reichel back to the Rockford Ice Hogs for their playoff run.
While it may seem like a regular move, Reichel has had to adjust to nearly nine different transitions throughout his short career in North America, this season alone due to the Blackhawks calling him up and sending him down to the Ice Hogs so frequently. This can really hurt a prospect's development as the skill level between the NHL and AHL is night and day.
The decision to send Reichel down has raised some eyebrows, but the Blackhawks believe that it will give the Ice Hogs a much-needed boost in the playoff race. Reichel has shown great potential during his time with the Blackhawks, and fans will be eager to see him continue to develop with the Ice Hogs. However, the frequent back-and-forth movement between leagues is a concern and could potentially stunt his growth as a player. Only time will tell if this move pays off for both the Ice Hogs and Reichel's future with the Blackhawks.
