Prospect Info: Round 1, Pick 13: Jett Luchanko, C, Guelph (OHL)

[Flyerfan4life]

Torts has absolutely nothing to do with the draft. Even Cuck stated that in the studio. This is just a lazy take for a pick you don't like.

they literaly said on the broadcast that Torts is involved in the draft pick descision..

I have no idea what you heard, but the former GM of the club just stated he has nothing to do with the draft.

Jason Bukala, who is commentating with Chuckles the Sad Clown on Sportsnet, is a former scout I hear a lot on Toronto radio. Check out his final mock draft of who he thinks will go where. Pretty darn accurate. He had Buium at 12 for us, but had him 4th on his personal ranking.

He had Luchanko at 14, compared him to Nick Suzuki. Jason Bukala's 2024 NHL Mock Draft: Predicting the first 32 picks

I'm starting to think that my thoughts about how this organization is run aren't just confirmation bias.

I have no arguments. What I do have is my emotional support guac. It's not all bad.

He was the highest on him. You know you f'd up when the guy that was the highest on him wouldn't have even taken him at that spot.

Its funny, the madman was right in the end. Sack of shit little rat.

Michel Therrien showed (Briere) the video and said "No one in the room respects you. No one wants to play with you

I got nothing. Thatcher Venmo and HCette 2.0 bed time routine made us forget about dinner. We are now scrambling.

I know nothing about this kid but I hope he's a success.

The former GM also said that he was part of the hiring process of Tortorella.

Look, I'm still pissed, but I hope he does pan out like he does. I hope he's also put on a better team, especially just one that's away from his current terrible team.

But when you have other and better BPA on the board, especially a center, you don't go for this guy. You wanted a center? Why the f*** would you pass Helenius?

I'm glad we got someone fast. It's good he's a two way. But I sure as f*** hope his offensive game actually shows up.

Forgetting who else was available for a second.

He's a really young kid, 18 in August.
He's a physical freak for his height. Absolutely smashed the combine, and still has room to grow.
Scored 35% of his teams offense, one of the worst offensive teams in the league.
Is an elite skater and rated as having great hockey IQ.
Plays ES, PP and PK.

I mean, he's definitely going to become Rod Brindamour and you can't convince me otherwise.

Listen, if his family can hook us up with cheap mushrooms, it’s not the worst pick.

Some of you guys really need to take up weed

I already have

I already have

I've been told that they don't want to see what I do on weed.

York is fine..but they passed on Caufield and Boldy which adds context the pick.

Well sure. Your prior post made it sound like York was a bust like JOB.

My friend, you are speed running the stages of grief here.

I got f***ed up the other night after eating some edible chocolate.

Do you ever stop consuming orange kool-aid?

 

[VladDrag]

@Magua black stick tape….yuck.

Also I hate how long his stick is

 

[BritainStix]

Do you ever stop consuming orange kool-aid?

Regardless of how we got here, it doesn't change who the kid is. He has some pretty major positive attributes.

This literally has absolutely 0 connection to drinking the kool-aid. I don't know how many times I have to explain the process was stupid, but the player looks good.

*I didn't think I would have to explain, but the Brindy reference was a joke.

 

[Magua]

The Suzuki comparison is just hilariously lazy. He has a similar build, righty center, summer birthday. I cannot watch that footage and see anywhere near the innate skill and creativity. And Suzuki grades as a better defensive player in the NHL!

Tbf to Luchanko... he is more similar in terms of ability level in draft year to say Frost.

I don't see it, Alex. Frost's skating had way more upside, along with his underdeveloped body type. The puck skills don't look all that close on first watch. I had Robert Thomas at a point/game 10th ranked that year too. I'm skeptical I see that latent ability with Luchanko. There's a lot of average skills.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

I suppose a bright side is that this kid is like 3 weeks from being in the 2025 draft. A point per game in a D-1 season on a bad team would be pretty promising. I think next year will tell how good or how bad of a pick this is
