With all the recent chatter about the Vancouver Canucks looking to get rid of one of their newest acquisitions, head coach Adam Foote has made it very clear on where he thinks Lukas Reichel is best utilized in the lineup.

Now one quarter of the way through the 2025-26 season, it is clear that the Vancouver Canucks are no where near where they want to be, with that in mind, general manager Patrik Allvin is desperately searching for ways to turn the year around.

Vancouver Canucks head coach says where Lukas Reichel should play in the lineup

Until a deal can be struck, head coach Adam Foote was asked about the center’s production thus far, and thinks that his role should change.

«I don’t even know if I can answer that right now, to be honest with you,» he told the media after Saturday’s practice. «I don’t want to answer right now, but if you forced me to, I’d probably say wing right now. He’s a good skater, and he’s got good hands.”

It is not certain if or when he will be traded, but as it stands right now, he has not proven himself a valuable asset when he is in the lineup.
