Prospect Info: Luca Del Bel Belluz, 2nd round 2022 draft, #44

[CBJWerenski8]

Have to say I was never that high on the prospect, but he’s been proving me way wrong with his play this year. I’m impressed. I think he’s got 2nd line ceiling but could easily settle into a jack of all trades 3rd liner who pitches in offensively. Nothing wrong with that.

what do we think his ceiling is?

Stankoven/Pelletier/Peterka had similar numbers before making the jump. Then again, Bemstrom and TFW are scoring a bunch too.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but that is a very smallish comparison group. Del Bel is more average sized. But I also don't see anything Stankoven / Peterka level from him as far as hockey sense. Those two are special. My guess is that Del Bel will be a good 2nd line winger, but I don't put a lot of weight on that guess. I'll have to re-evaluate after another Cleveland playoff run.

His point production has been impressive, but there is some concerns about his intensity, battling, play off the puck etc. Things you need to impress Evason.. He might be too soft and disengaged to make it in the NHL. I hope he proves me wrong though!

Where did you see that at?

He’s a team best +9, which might suggest his play off the puck has improved.

I have read a couple of game reviews and tried to watch some games via streams myself. So nothing official, just my opinion.
