Will Luchanko crack 30 points if he plays 70+ NHL games in 2024-25?

[Curufinwe]

Points are, of course, not the only way to measure if an 18 year old belongs in the NHL. But I think it's fair to say that if Luchanko isn't put in the position to score 30 and/or cannot generate enough offensively to score 30, then he would have been better off developing his game in Junior like 99% of 18 year olds who weren't obviously elite.

I voted no, but I'd expect mid 20s. Really depends on how he's deployed (minutes and linemates). Even elite franchise superstar Travis Konecny only clocked 28 in 70 as a 19 year old.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, Patrick scored 30 in 73 games as a 19 year old. Couturier scored 27 in 77 as an 18/19 year old.

There's more goals scored in the NHL now than back then, but not by the Flyers under Torts.

The 2022/23 - 2023/24 Flyers scored 2.75 G/GP (28th). In 2016/17 - 2017/18 when TK and then Patrick had their rookie seasons, the Flyers scored 2.81 G/GP (16th).

Voted no, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Pretty good stat line, hard to predict which side will be correct.

 

[flyersnorth]

I voted yes depending on his linemates. If he's skating with Farabee and Brink, and gets some PP/PK points too, he might hit 30 by osmosis.

My magic 8 ball said "my sources say no"

 

[Rebels57]

If he plays more than 9 games, fire everyone.

have nothing but respect for this kid.....to come into camp right after being drafted and going from Jr hockey to the PROS

18 yrs old .....

amazing .....keep skating and having fun Jett

Probably would, but it would be a huge mistake for the organization to keep him up. He will hit a wall by January and a year of his ELC will be wasted.

However, Torts calls the shots and he is an arrogant, stubborn, narcissistic prick, so 70 games:
ES 9g 15a 24 pts
PP 1g 5a 6pts
SH 1g 1a 2 pts
TOT 11g 21a 32pts and a wasted season

 

[Curufinwe]

6 PPP is quite a lot. Brink had 5 last season in 126 minutes

you need to buckle in..

just sayin..

 

[Beef Invictus]

Nolan Patrick put up 30 points in 73 games. For some reference.


Patrick was a lot better offensively than Luchanko.

Yeah good point, I forgot to factor in the Rocky effect.

Was he REALLY tho?

 

[BiggE]

After a bit of consideration, I changed my vote. I still believe Torts will bully the organization and get his way. But I’m going with:
ES 7g 15a 22pts
PP Og 4a 4pts
SH 1g 1a 2pts
TOTAL 8g 20a 28pts

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yes

Yes

Oh, ok

They scored the same number of goals in their respective draft years, only Patrick did it in 35 less games .

NP nearly has as many assists in his D minus 1 year as Luchanko had total points in his draft year.

Hang in there buddy!
If they tell you to evacuate, go. Don’t risk your life. Unless it makes a big turn north, we should be fine. Our home is a few miles from any significant water and sits at a 20ft elevation. Just hoping no nearby trees go down and we don’t lose power for any long length of time.
