JETT LUCHANKO Scouting Report | Athletic, Projectable, 2-Way Center?

In this episode of the Prospect Spotlight series, our scouts take a half-hour deep dive into the game of a projectable and athletic centerman with strong playmaking ability: Jett Luchanko! First, they introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, they shift their attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit, discussing why he is falling down rankings, including their own. Last, they debate Luchanko's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.
Tune back in tomorrow for an episode breaking down the game of Yegor Surin!
Our tool projection scale goes from 1 to 10:
1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool
2 - AHL Caliber Tool
3 - Replacement-Level Tool
4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool
5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool
6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool
7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool
8 - Clear Elite Tool (Suzuki's hockey sense)
9 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' playmaking)
10 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)
(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)

Any Flyers fans here after the draft?

[@LockedOnNHLProspects]

👀 awesome pick!

[@toddgersh]

Me

[@toddgersh]

@@LockedOnNHLProspectshope your right.

[@jswhitcombvideos]

Love the pick. Exactly what we needed. Going to raise the game of the entire team

[@archneme1702]

Yes he's going to be a fan fave but we'll see if passing on Buium works out. I like him better than Helenius who I did not want after watching this. Liked Demidov, Catton, Dickinson , Silayev for the Flyers but that didn't work out. Though he is not a top line center with his speed he might be able to play with Michkov. Need coaching on shot, stickhandling but fans will love him if he's involved in everything on both ends. Love the D.

[@jswhitcombvideos]

Love the Nick Suzuki comp. If we get that player it’s a huge win! Watch Danny double dip Guelph with a later pick..power play solutions

[@ZekeAmishAssassin]

Ryan Suzuki...

[@RacingOnDirtMichigan]

I would like to see a scouting report video on John Mustard. He seems like the player profile the red wings would draft but I'm not confident he'll be there at 47. Could you see red wings drafting him at 15 ? Why or why not ? Thanks for all the great content.

[@glennjosephbrophy]

John Mustard Was There...As John Mustard Was Drafted By The Blackhawks With The 67th Overall Pick In The Third Round!!!

[@pacojul27]

FLYERS, WERE DESPERATE TO GET A PP!

[@pacojul27]

handlein pucks, is amazin

[@bighoss9962]

These are things he can work on

[@iockerman]

How do you guys think he’ll fit in with the Flyers when he makes the jump to the NHL?

[@zeebjj99]

setting up Matvei non stop on the PP

[@ZekeAmishAssassin]

I can't wait to see Jett replace Poehling when he moves on.... Let's see who has a better career, no not Buium, between Luchanko and Helenius.

[@jor-el1298]

So they wasted a 1st round pick for someone like Poehling?!

[@jor-el1298]

I wish the Flyers would stop with the 2-way center nonsense... I was ecstatic they somehow got Michkov. I thought Briere will stop drafting based on buzz words like "work ethic", "200 feet game" and so on and will look for high ceiling, potential stars, at least in the first round of the draft. It seems not. But, true, the kid is 17, let's see how he develops in the next years. What I don't want is another Laughton. You can add that type of players in trades whenever you want.

[@the_blueraja5941]

They keep ending up in the 10-20 range. That’s all they get. Hextall also ruined the “cupboard” we haven’t been revitalized by any of his picks.

[@pacojul27]

SPEEDY, HIGHHOCKEY IQ

[@pacojul27]

Mitchkov will finish, not worried, abt his scorin

[@kevinb2844]

I agree… seems willing to go into “greasy” areas to score, first time felt this excited since Lindros, which was bittersweet when discovered the arbitrator threw in their prospect Petr Forsburg with that trade…. and even moreso seeing Forsburg win two stanley cups and Lindros getting clocked by Scott Stevens who literally ended his career early.

[@beelzeebub1]

Question If Lou would grab Luchanko at 20 , who would Blackhawks be looking at 18 ? Michael Hage ? Blackhawks already have Ludwinski , Greene , Stjernborg, Safonov, Thompson at Center.

[@LockedOnNHLProspects]

Igor Chernyshov or Michael Brandsegg Nygard would be interesting winger targets
