'I also have to be cognizant of, in the National Hockey League, there’s a business end of it with the cap, of contracts, there’s so many things that come into play,' the coach said Wednesday.
"I also have to be cognizant of, in the National Hockey League, there’s a business end of it with the cap, of contracts, there’s so many things that come into play," the coach said Wednesday.Flyers training camp was divided into two new groups Wednesday and Group No. 1 had a very NHL and Flyers opening-night roster feel.
“I’ve been impressed with him and Matvei, just how mature they play,” Farabee said Wednesday. “Jett, you can see, as a center, it’s not easy to step into an NHL game even if it’s just preseason and play with NHL guys. He’s done a really good job, in my opinion, of just being responsible and letting his instincts take over. He’s not thinking too much.”
“He’s in elite condition. You can see that in his skating, he just keeps going. He’s a strong kid, bigger than I thought he was when you get up close with him. He’s just handled himself really well,” Tortorella said. Now the question is: Will Luchanko break camp with the Flyers? The Flyers’ first-rounder cannot be assigned to the American Hockey League as an 18-year-old due to the NHL-CHL transfer agreement, but he could play at least nine games in the NHL as a trial. After he plays in nine games, he’ll either stay in the NHL and the first year of his entry-level contract will kick in or he’ll return to Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League.
