Fwiw, it looks like ND and Jett make the team with Abols being the cut if they go with 8 defensemen. Not very smart. I still can’t believe the Flyers think ND is an NHL hockey player.

Speaking with a source Thursday, I was told 2024 first-round pick Jett Luchanko is likely to at least start the year in the NHL, though not much else is set in stone, and he may ultimately be returned to the OHL’s Guelph Storm once the regular season begins.
Given the two aforementioned forwards (presumably) locking in spots, it has left Rodrigo Abols as someone on the outs (at least to start the season) up front; Nicolas Deslauriers, though likely to be the 13th forward more times than not, is not going to be waived. While Abols could find himself en route to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms by the start of next week, there is a possibility that the Flyers open the year with 14 forwards.
