Sending Jett Luchanko back to OHL is the right call

How are we feeling about that surprise 13th overall pick?

No, Jett Luchanko wasn’t the consensus choice that early in the draft, with plenty of doubters the night he was picked (myself included), and many who still doubt the selection. However, many of us (myself once again included), have come around on Luchanko — and his preseason with the Flyers should silence any remaining naysayers. In fact, he’s been the most exciting player not named Matvei Michkov on the Flyers’ camp roster, and already looks the part of a decent pro player.

So why shouldn’t he make the team?
