Jett Luchanko Scouting Reports

Luchanko finished his year on a high note winning gold for Team Canada's U18 team in Finland.
Used in all situations. Played with pace and detail. Took key defensive zone face-offs on his strong side.
Combination of speed, skill, compete, and perhaps most importantly smarts.
Averaged over a point per game in Guelph (68GP - 20G - 54A)
Chipped in with 2G-5A - 7pts in seven games at the Worlds
Leans complete player / top six NHL forward
Not elite in any one category but excellent all around player who contributes better than secondary offense without sacrificing three zone detail
Compares to Nick Suzuki in many categories

With Team Canada at the U18 World Championships Luchanko is being used in a variety of roles
Takes key defensive zone face-offs on his strong side
Majority of his ice time comes at ES and PK
Playing fast - detailed - competitive in all three zones
Not elite offensively but much better than secondary upside
His hockey sense allows coaching staff to trust him with whatever task they ask
Reminds of Nick Suzuki in a lot of categories.

Luchanko brings more than just offense. He's a player that can be relied upon in a variety of roles.
Deployed in all situations for the Guelph Storm. Listed as a winger but he plays the majority of his shifts in the middle.
On the PP he slots into a role as a PP QB / Distributor / Shooter / Playmaker on the point and leads the breakout.
Leans distributor more than shooter ... has an understated / deceptive release and the ability to change the angle of his blade to direct pucks on net.
Competes the entire 200ft. Sturdy strong. Not punishing physically but also not easy to knock off the play.
Very good skater. Trending up.
Young for this draft class.
