Trading down to give up Zeev Buium and then selecting Jett Luchanko 13th overall, with Konsta Helenius still on the board, was controversial for Danny Briere and the Flyers. But in his first NHL training camp, Luchanko is already looking like he could hold his own in the Flyers regular season lineup. Charlie & Bill discuss if Luchanko staying in the NHL is a real possibility.

Jett has been the most impressive player at camp but I'm giving it a 0% chance he plays for the Flyers this year.
If he keeps up his good play, I’d give him the 9 game tryout just to see how he is against true NHLers. Most likely he’d go back to juniors knowing what he needs to work on……that is unless he kills it on his tryout??
Last night on RDS (French sport channel) Briere spoke to Marc Denis (comentator) he said hes already have people in the organization wanting to keep Luchanko for at least the 9 games
Bill you were pissed when they drafted him, hopefully he’s changed your tune
The big difference between Coots and Jett is the physical maturity of Luchanko. He is a physically mature player with great wheels. Coots was no t physical mature and was also not a great skater. Coots had to learn to be good defensively. Luchanko already knows how to play defense.
Two games in. FFS let’s tamper this shit. “This good, this late”?!!? Two games in!!!!
In the long run, Danny needs to determine if sending him back is the best chance to make in a 1C eventually. He's not getting 1st or 2nd line minutes on the Flyers. He'll be getting 20+ minutes in Juniors, playing in all situations, and maybe World Juniors. I think that playing time and experience potentially gets us that 1C over playing 3rd or 4th line playing time in the NHL.
It's not one size fits all. I can't stand this notion that, unless someone is a #1 overall generational player, then automatically the "best place for their development" is another X number of years in juniors.
Farabee – Jett – Brink sounds like a fantastic third line
Best players make the team.. Thats obviously the best move..
Matt Read was a perfect 2 way 3rd line winger that could PK, had great speed, and scored more than 20 goals…for 3 years. Than he fell off pretty quick. Sad because from 2011-14 he was a terrific 3rd liner.
Well you keep him up for the 9 games and if plays good there really isn't much to talk about
Love that we’re having this conversation when so many people were bitching and moaning that he was a reach/bad pick. Silence the haters, Jett!
Maybe he plays a few regular season then gets sent down
He really doesn’t need to be on the team this year. No space, and no point
