Round 1, Pick 13: Jett Luchanko, C, Guelph (OHL) - 7/6 Upd: Signed 3yr ELC

[Flyerfan4life]

Jett should really go back to Jr for one more year. It would be the right thing for his development. He's far from 'too good for the OHL' and it would give him a chance to play in the WJC as a returning player. Let him learn how to create offense.

100% hes a opening day roster staple for the Flyers...

There's always a few, I think McQueen fits that due to a concern with his back.

I lovecqueen with the latest pick or the earliest 2nd but there's too much risk for a top ten pick.

Jet has the skill and speed I've wanted the flyers to bet on. I'm loving the idea of him centering tippet and tk. Having NHL veterans with comparable speed will help him learn the NHL pace. I just don't see him growing on a bad Guelph team though I don't necessarily think he's NHL ready it may be the best place for him

And hence #FlyersPerpetualMediocrity. They are stupid people who think they’re the smartest ones in the room because they are marginally smarter than the other dullards.

They tried to force him in this year to justify the pick. "See he's on the opening day roster and Buium had to go back to college."

 

[freakydallas13]

Is there a single team in the league that wouldn't trade Luchanko and a 3rd for Buium right now? Other than the Flyers obviously, but we know they care more about optics and saving face than they do building a good hockey team, so they don't count.

They can't admit mistakes, the key to learning.

That's why I'm positive they'll try and have Michkov carry his ass the way they were spoon-feeding Tippet all year long.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Hopefully he doesn't get rushed because the team is desperate to have him justify his draft position

Well putting him on the team next year would help the tank no?

 

[phillyjawn]

Well putting him on the team next year would help the tank no?

now this is the way we should be thinking...

we need to hinder michkov as much as possible, so he doesn't drag us out of the bottom 10.

 

[The Last Red]

There were also better centers available like Helenius, Hage . . .

Probably won't be a major factor because they're going Big Game Hunting in the offseason baby!!!

Jim Jerkoff and Brian Doucher even mentioned last night on the broadcast how there will be a lot of changes this offseason. They know. We all know. It's obvious, and Briere/Jones have also spoken about it publicly.

This is the offseason Briere very likely makes his mark on the franchise.

We're about to see what The Darkest Timeline in Flyers history is really all about.

 

[sa cyred]

While I don't think Jett is going to amount to much outside of a 3rd line culture player, Playing him in the NHL next seasons seems the perfect case of killing any offensive output from him in the future. Right now junior is still abit fast for him offensively. Putting him in the NHL....

But I mean it is the Flyers so 2C here we come.

Borat would say “letting Dani and Flahrsy run a draft is like letting a monkey fly an airplane”

I thought the play was to gear up for the 2026 offseason?

Hopefully the big changes are moving out guys like Risto, not bringing in big-name free agents.

Yeah but how often do you get to add a big Canadian kid named Jett to the Flyers? That is basically viagara to the old boys club running the Flyers.

Basically Briere and Jones have been running with the organization that Fletcher left them. The prediction of big changes this off season is long overdue. Hopefully it will include LHV as well. On ice as well as behind the benches.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

And by doing so, didn't even address the need for center.

Never mind we also have a need for dmen

Just not small boi D

Well he's not putting up good metrics on an AHL team not sure how putting him on the big club is gonna help development.

I'm worried they just can't help themselves and they're going to overpay Bennet for 5-6 @ 7.5-8m or sign Nelson/Granlund as a 2 yr patch consolation to Bennet for 4-5m. I use the word consolation very broadly there as I hope none of it happens it's just something along the lines of what I expect.

Move Risto? But Bouch and Jackson said last night he was arguably the best defensemen on the team this year (if not injured). Briere loves him too. I assume it's not happening but I really hope it does.

NO ONE is trading for Fisto...


the guys a plug. only the Flyers would see value in him

It was all about grip strength, my guys. Grip strength. Who are we to kink shame

The fact that he is completely bald all over his body confirms to me that he most definitely wears a Gimp Suit on weekends. Do with that information what you will.

All that talk about Tippet being a 30 goal scorer. Maybe next year if they get a PP coach who isn't braindead.

Need a solid grip once that pleather suit gets oiled up
