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, due to limited NHL ice time and rules restricting his play in the AHL.

As the Flyers prioritize development, Luchanko will play bigger minutes and refine his game in juniors. The team was limited by rules, which meant Luchanko could only 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 decision comes after Luchanko had limited opportunities with the Flyers, and the team had an abundance of centers ahead of him.

Author's summary: Flyers return Luchanko to juniors for development.
