Canucks acquire sixth-round picks for Reichel, Kampf at NHL trade deadline

The Vancouver Canucks made a pair of moves at the buzzer of the 2026 NHL trade deadline on Friday.

The team announced it has traded forward Lukas Reichel to the Boston Bruins for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick. In addition, forward David Kampf was dealt to the Washington Capitals, also for a sixth-round draft selection in 2026.

Acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks earlier in the season, Reichel appeared in just 14 games for the Canucks, tallying one assist. He played in 23 games for the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks, scoring six goals and adding seven assists.

Kampf was signed by the Canucks earlier in the season as well. He scored two goals and added four assists in 38 games with Vancouver.

Pending unrestricted free agents Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger were not traded.

In addition to the trades, the Canucks claimed six-foot-nine centre Curtis Douglas off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning. In 29 games this season, he has two assists and 92 penalty minutes.

Earlier in the week, the team traded forward Conor Garland to the Columbus Blue Jackets and defenceman Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars.
