Here you go. A pro-Jett article that advocates him making the the opening night roster in 2025. I almost expected FlyerFrank’s name in the byline.
His main argument is in the opening line : Jett Luchanko started last season in the NHL, and there’s no reason that he shouldn’t do the same this year.
Hahahaha! The Flyers went into camp with a center spot up for grabs: Abols and Luchanko were the main contenders. Abols, at 29, decided to really work on his skating before camp and looks like a different player. Who saw that coming? Anybody? So the Flyers still like Jett. At this point, he’s more of a want than a need, due to Abols, but the Flyers clearly want him. I see a guy with noticeable speed who plays soundly and responsibly. He passes when he has shooting opportunities? Gee, that’s never happened before with any player. Seems to me the Flyers think whatever shortcomings are in his game now can be coached through in the short term. Jett’s getting at least the 8 game look.

“Learning and developing skills doesn’t have to happen in the lower leagues. Players are constantly improving and adding things to their bags of tricks throughout their careers, especially early on. The Flyers have made a point of growing a strong culture in the locker room, and there are plenty of players on the roster who he could learn different things from.”always the culture. this guy is so off base with that piece its laughable.

Flyers are always promoting their culture. It’s the last refuge of a team that has nothing else to sell the fans. Every team has a culture, every single one.
The Flyers are Sabres are copying off of each other and i’m not sure that’s a good thing.

Ruff also said culture was “everything” when the Sabres were trying to improve the roster in the offseason. In trading JJ Peterka for Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan, the Sabres got two strong locker room pieces who are difficult to play against. Ruff also mentioned Justin Danforth and Mason Geertsen as two signings that fall into that same bucket. Ruff is clear that he wants the team to be better defensively, and he wants a hardworking team that is a pain to play against.
After all the bullshit even Ruff admits : “Talk is cheap,” Ruff said. “We’re going to have to just win games.” The article could’ve just posted this and saved 1000 words.

The 2024 13th overall pick impressed John Tortorella & Co. in training camp last season, and due to the lack of center depth on the roster at the time, got a look with the big club to begin the season. While he ultimately got sent to the OHL after appearing in just four games, the 18-year-old centerman didn’t look out of place in just over 56 minutes of action.
Come on, how can Ryan Gilbert expect anyone to take the article seriously after posting that? He was abysmal. There was a reason he only played 4 games and watched the 5 before they could claim they gave him the 10 game tryout and it wasn’t because he “didn’t look out of place” and there’s plenty of evidence that the hype of him making the team was more fiction than fact.
There are bound to be injuries throughout the season, and if Luchanko progresses well — or maybe just doesn’t regress — he could see himself centering the second line if one of the Flyers’ top pivots goes down. Hell, he could move up the lineup anyway if the Flyers need speed and a spark.
We’ve already moved on from should he make the team to Flyers 2nd line pivot.
the flyers have told their media shills to prop him up to an extent. the reasons they want him to make the team just show pure incompetecne.
“Luchanko has the tools to be a solid third-line center right now, and the speed and hockey sense to make his way up the lineup eventually once some offense comes his way. His puck skills and shot definitely need some work, but he’s not necessarily going to improve them more in the OHL than he would in the NHL.”
no he doesnt. yes he will.

“Getting a proper look at Luchanko this season would also help things going into next offseason, when the Flyers are prepared to spend big.”
spend big on who. another hayes like player as thats all they can get. 1 year is also not a proper look at all.
There’s that Zeev Buium again. Only a -2 tonight . . . against the Black Hawks scrubs. Only a -6 in two pre-season games.
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”font-size: 15px !important; transition: all;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>I will take any bets the jett will never be a legit top 6 center in the nhl. now maybe by default on a shit bottom team.
<p data-userway-font-size=”12″ style=”font-size: 15px !important; transition: all;” data-userway-s4-bigger-text-styled=”true”>why don’t the flyers like him at guelph?
He has a lot to work on. He’s pretty uninspiring right now
ok now your not sure how much they want him there; despite saying otherwise . got it.
I was pretty clear. The fact you don’t understand there are other factors in the situation is your problem.
making a bet doesn’t equate to “knowing” about gambling.
you offer no proof or evidence the flyers dont like him in guelph. understood. flyers are the nhl version of gueplh. check the standings as you say.
why on earth do you want who the flyers think is their cornerstone center playing 4th line with 2 slugs. that will do wonders for his development and the flyers future. though you have made it clear you do whats “best” for the team in the jetts case. brilliant.
It’s been discussed. Do try to keep up. Already said not sure how much the Flyers weigh the Guelph situation.
Why on Earth do you want who the Flyers think is their cornerstone center playing on a first line in Guelph with two slugs?
