Luchanko’s speed flashed a few times and he played solid defensively and on the penalty kill.
So what’s the problem? Where’s the giant issue? IF Jett makes the team it’s as a 4th liner. How much scoring do you expect from your 4th line? I think the Flyers are also looking to carry 14 forwards. There are realistically only 15 guys in the mix.
HATHAWAY COUTURIER KONECNY DVORAK ZEGRAS MICHKOV FOERSTER CATES TIPPETT-Absolute locks
BRINK DESLAURIERS ABOLS-Highly probable
GREBENKIN BUMP LUCHANKO-66% chance for each of these three if they carry 14 Fs.Do you feel he’s already made the team and that it’s in his best interest in terms of development that he be in the NHL?
college wasnt an option for the jett

for pure entertainment purposes hope the jett is the 4th line center. then can watch him develop his offensive chops. maybe the next ryan poehlig
there is zero need to carry 14/15 forwards.

This is what so many aren’t getting. Jett’s best interest in terms of development is not the priority. The priority is the team. Who are the best players available to fill the roster spots? They aren’t going to put him in a position where he literally crashes and burns. Abols surprise step up has complicated things in a good way. They can’t carry 15 forwards, but 14 is not unreasonable.
The D is the problem anyway, even after Risto returns. We’ll see about the goaltending. Was surprised they only gave Vladar one period last night after working Kolosov in 40 minutes in two games already.

I think i see the root of our difference of opinion. Being that the team is “rebuilding” my point of view is the team should do what is best for the players in the long term so that down the road they can help the team to the best of their abilities. It sounds like your view is decidedly short term, as in the current year and not beyond. Jett may indeed be a warm body to fill a bottom lower roster spot in this case but in the longer view i still think that isn’t a wise decision by the team if that’s the only reason they keep him.
I would also remind you that they kept him last year and he crashed and burned. Doesn’t mean they won’t do it again.

You also aren’t factoring in they don’t like the situation in Guelph. Not sure how heavily they weigh that. If Jett was going back to London, this would be an entirely different situation.
