The Chicago Blackhawks did a full on fire sale this season trading away nearly half the roster to tank for Connor Bedard.
One of the toughest trades was when the Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson traded Star Patrick Kane to the New York Rangers to give Kane an opportunity to win another Stanley Cup.
However, the Blackhawks might already have a Patrick Kane replacement in their roster, I'm talking about the Blackhawks 2020 first round pick Lukas Reichel.
The 20 year-old prospect has been killing it for the Rockford Ice Hogs the Blackhawks AHL Affiliate team in the Calder Cup Playoffs. Reichel would score 2 goals vs the Manitoba Moose check them out.
Reichel most likely won't be a Patrick Kane, as showtime will be hard to match, but the similarities in their game are very close, but if he can turn out to be a top line 30 goal player the Blackhawks would be happy with that.
