Luo is the real deal. We drafted him as a huge huge riser. He had a so-so stats in Liiga (7 points, 32 games), but had a super late birthday and was drafted at 17. Canes fans were in arms to draft this "nobody" at 42. Every year he really has gotten a little bit better but never been a showy player.

He is also the epitome of being patient on a prospect. The Canes brass had huge faith in him to eventually be what he is today. He was 95% of the value on the 4 for 1 Trocheck deal (Troch for Luostarinen, Haula, Lucas Wallmark, Chase Priskie) in 2020. Glad Florida is getting some long term win for them after our short term win of a few seasons of Troch.

This feels like the Penguins Kasperi Kapanen deal all over again. Not sure he ever approaches 40 points again.
Could be.

But could also be similar to Killorn in that he will contribute 15-25 goals, 40-60 points, be defensively solid and play throughout the lineup.

My bet is on the latter.

He’s just a solid player. You’re right on the Trocheck trade: only Luostarinen is left on either of teams and he is a damn good supporting piece.

Players like Luostarinen just don’t get the credit they deserve on sites like this. Not for what they provide.
