C Jett Luchanko - Guelph Storm, OHL (2024, 13th, PHI)

[FlyguyOX]

I can’t understate my disappointment enough.

I think this rivals passing on Caufield and Boldy for me.

Luchanko isn’t even in the same universe as Buium. What a joke

If I remember correctly Giroux wasn’t an extremely popular pick. I’m disappointed too but the kid is young, tested off the charts physically, is a 200 ft player, and has a high IQ I’m told. Next year will tell the upside

 

[Kshahdoo]

His CHL stats don't impress me, that's the one thing I can say for sure. I mean PPG+ isn't terrible but it's pretty common when kids are 1.5PPG+ at this age.

 

[Rebel247]

Few times I saw him play, he seems like a good fit for the type of system, the flyers are trying to play. Fast, attacking forechecking. Off the charts physical traits for his age.

 

[Pantokrator]

He should be gone by 20....this kid is the sneaky 1st rounder who could be huge / or do absolutely nothing at the NHL level.

Since the Flyers picked him, I am pretty sure he will do nothing. Look at our great development history! We can take any player and make sure he does not live up to his peak ability. Probably a 3rd or 4th line center taken at a spot where you need to get at least a 2nd line center.

 

[Sombastate]

The flyers have become the worst organization in the entire NHL. It was masked by Michkov falling to them

Danny’s incompetency since then has been off the charts. I thought it didn’t get worse than Chuck, boy does it

 

[King In The North]

Robert Thomas/Wyatt Johnston vibes

 

[Juicy Pop]

I'm excited to watch him develop this year.

I'll be super happy if we can hear Philly shouting JETT JETT JETT!

 

[Scoresberg]

Really like this pick for the Flyers. A player who has his hockey IQ and his skating rarely DON'T pan out. Reminds me of the Mercer pick few years back.

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

when kids are 1.5PPG+ at this age.

He's 17....not counting 1st or 2nd overalls, how many kids are 1.5 PPG at 17? In the OHL....let's see.....none.

 

[Shark Finn]

Love this for PHilly

Why?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Yeah, this year. What about some of previous seasons?

He scored a shit ton in his draft year

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

Well you said it was pretty common...yet no one did it this year. Or last year. That doesn't really make it all that common.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Robert Thomas/Wyatt Johnston vibes

He is quite similar to Thomas when he was drafted. Luchanko is going to be an NHL player, and a good one at that. Great skater, great compete, great hockey IQ.

You're still wrong. This kid is even younger than him...

Ok, you named ONE guy (which still doesn't make it common) and he still hasn't hit 1.5 PPG. And that one guy you mentioned got exceptional status, so again, hardly a common thing.

So STILL nobody.

 

[Pantokrator]

The best thing about this pick is that I don't like it, and I am usually wrong about players we draft.

I thought Robert Hagg and Ginning were steals. I hated the Giroux pick. I hated the Tyson Foerster pick. I liked the Rubtsov pick.

I did like the Couts pick, but generally, I am usually wrong, so maybe there is hope.

It's easy to pad your CHL stats when you're on top teams, its what you do when you're on the bottom half of the league where scouts find gems. I love this kid, called the pick back in May after Buttons list dropped. He will be feeding Michkov on that power play for years to come.

He's also super young. August 2006 birthday.

That too.

 

[SlafySZN]

Broadcast compared him to Suzuki

 

[Evergreen]

The Hockey News listed William Karlsson as a comparable.

I’ve always believed the draft is a bit of a crapshoot and the consensus isn’t necessarily right. It’s time to test my faith in that I guess

History shows us that the consensus often isn't right, but people still treat it like gospel.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Seen a lot of Yanni Gourde comps

 

[Kcoyote3]

I would say closer to Messier but his frame isn't exactly the same so I'll go with Gretzky.
