Flyers Send Jett Luchanko Back to Juniors
The Philadelphia Flyers have returned 19-year-old Jett Luchanko to his junior team, Guelph of the OHL, to prioritize his development.
Due to limited NHL ice time and restrictive rules, the Flyers opted to send Luchanko back to juniors, where he can play more minutes and refine his game.
The team was faced with a difficult decision, as Luchanko is not allowed to play in the AHL at 19 years old, leaving the Flyers with only two options: keep him on the NHL roster or return him to his junior team.
The Flyers are trying to win now, and there isn't a spot for Luchanko in the top nine.
Despite initial opportunities to earn a spot, Luchanko was ultimately sent back to juniors to continue his development.
