Just realized something; Luke is 5 even number goals shy of scoring 50 en goals.... crazy.
Has anyone ever done that in the OHL? or whos the last player to score 50 even number goals?
Tomasino has 72 points (34 goals) in 67 games in his draft year - all even strength - never played the PP. The next year he put up 100 points.

Will he get a call up soon?
I would guess it is very unlikely. The Preds have 15 forwards up as it is, and probably count several players on Milwaukee as having greater seniority for any next recall than Evangelista. Starting with Tomasino first and foremost, but even others like Novak, Leonard, Afanaseyev, Sherwood, and Nurmi are likely on similar footing with more age/experience on their side. Eventually if he does keep this scoring pace up, he'll probably get a cameo reward, but that could be much later in the season if the Preds have already dropped out of it and are moving some bodies or have injuries in the top-6. But just guessing. :dunno:

leading milwaukee in pts : 5 g 20
A in 32 games

Yall think he has 1st line upside after tearing up the CHL and a strong rookie season in the AHL?

Way too early to tell. He still needs time to fill out to play with the big boys.

So far he is exceeding expectations. Now that the Preds are out of the playoff race I expect he’ll get that cameo recall at some point before the end of the season.

And depending on if the team moves more forwards he at least has put himself in the discussion for a spot on the team next season. That would be a full year ahead of schedule, but so long as he works hard and gains strength in the summer it’s no longer out of the question.
