Luchanko Could Get AHL Conditioning Stint To Delay Return To OHL

With his usage being limited thus far, the odds of Jett Luchanko spending the full season with the Flyers are dropping.  However, Daily Faceoff’s Anthony DiMarco suggests that Philadelphia will at least look to drag the decision out a little longer by assigning him to AHL Lehigh Valley on a conditioning stint at some point.  While he’s ineligible to play for the Phantoms full-time, he is allowed to play on a conditioning stint for up to two weeks.  Luchanko won’t officially burn the first year of his entry-level deal until he plays in ten NHL games this season.  He’s at four so between his five games he can still play without starting the deal and a possible conditioning stint, he could remain with the Flyers for a while yet before returning to junior.
