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 eligible to play in the AHL and would have had to play for the Flyers or return to his junior team.
The Flyers are trying to win now, and there isn't a spot for Luchanko in the top nine.
The move allows Luchanko to gain more experience and develop his skills, rather than sitting on the bench with the Flyers.
