Brother of Seattle Thunderbirds forward Gracyn. Lucas is also a top US talent for his birth year. Really good skater and is an offensive dynamo. He has been known to take over the game and is a treat to watch when he does this. Funnily enough, his WHL rights are owned by the same team as his brothers, so it remains to be seen if he'll go USDP or WHL. Should be interesting nonetheless.

His brother leaving the NTDP won't help his chances if that's the route he wants to go.

It would be a shame if this ends up being the case.

Tendered with the Chicago Steel today.

Tendered with the Chicago Steel today.

Though he plays minor hockey in the USA, the steel’s ability to attract let’s say “Canadian” talent away from the CHL is remarkable

They're a very player first organization...so much so they let their players go compete in the U18's in the Spring during USHL playoffs.

Anywho....here's hoping the Chicago Steel --> Michigan pipeline continues haha! Who knows where he'll go next after Chicago.

So Gracyn we thought was dual, played his U17 season with the USNTDP but then leaves for Seattle and we find out I think essentially that’s he’s not a dual?

Meanwhile we know Lucas isn’t a dual at all, he’s drafted by the same Thunderbirds and he decides to forgo the WHL after a great season at SSM to play in the USHL instead of with his brother in the WHL?

Very interesting. Would probably not be shocking to see him play his U17 in the USHL and then head to Seattle to play with his brother for Gracyn’s final WHL season (19/20 year-old season). I know the T-Birds are gonna get killed with departures this summer but their 05/06/07 group could be ready for another run in 2024/25.

Lucas’ year as a 15 year-old on the 16U SSM team looks fairly similar to Gracyn’s for what it’s worth. So he may be a similar level of prospect.

My review of what I've watched from him this season. Has 4+8=12 points in 46 games. Committed to Denver for 2025-26.

Like his brother, his skating is impressive, although not as good. Can really move quickly in small spaces with the puck by slicing and dicing. He’s only 5’9, and I think less skilled than his brother. He’s very skilled, but Gracyn had elite skill. Lucas is more the typical 5’9 high skill, not elite skill, junior player that there are a lot of. If he grows and puts up big totals next year that’ll increase his chances of getting drafted.

Really looking forward to see what Sawchyn can do with Chicago in a bigger role on a better team. Steel were bad last year, he and others will make them better.

Joins his brother in Edmonton. Growing list of players who are signing in the WHL vs the NCAA route this past offseason compared to recent years. Thinking the probable eventual Major Junior players being allowed to play NCAA after junior careers are over playing a factor
