Luca is a good size prospect with room for much more strength.
He's quick out of the gate and has separation in open ice. Up ice on the PK he has the speed to create turnovers. He can also lead the PP breakout with zone entries. He has a good feel for the game and sees the ice. Luca scored 12 of his 30 goals on the PP. When he adds more weight he will have more impact in the hard areas. He's not shy about getting involved and plays with some crafty push back. Provides more than just offense
