Guelph Storm 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part One)

It’ll be fun to watch the line combos for the forwards. There are quite a few options for the top two lines. Luchanko, Karabela, Namestikov, Alriksson, Paquette, Serlin. I think McFadden and Snelgrove will be making a big push for top minutes as well. First year season ticket holder since I was a kid, used to go to memorial gardens a lot. I’m pretty excited for the season, fun to feel the buzz

Luchanko 2 assists to open up his NHL pre season

Pretty obvious but going to say it anyways- going to put up a lot of points this year and next.

Beginning to worry there is a next year. At this point there may be greater odds of him sticking with Philly than there was for Poitras in Boston.

For Poitras he was one year older. I wouldn't be surprised if Luchanko saw some NHL games to start the season, but I doubt they burn his contract. Poitras was in a unique situation as the Bruins had 0 depth, and it didn't pay off for them as Poitras got injured. I doubt we see the same with Luchanko this year. That being said, this could be his final season in Guelph... which, similar to Poitras, would put a different spin on the contention window.
