Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Luchanko finished his year on a high note winning gold for Team Canada's U18 team in Finland.
Used in all situations. Played with pace and detail. Took key defensive zone face-offs on his strong side.
Combination of speed, skill, compete, and perhaps most importantly smarts.
Averaged over a point per game in Guelph (68GP - 20G - 54A)
Chipped in with 2G-5A - 7pts in seven games at the Worlds
Leans complete player / top six NHL forward
Not elite in any one category but excellent all around player who contributes better than secondary offense without sacrificing three zone detail
Compares to Nick Suzuki in many categories

Luchanko brings more than just offense. He's a player that can be relied upon in a variety of roles.
Deployed in all situations for the Guelph Storm. Listed as a winger but he plays the majority of his shifts in the middle.
On the PP he slots into a role as a PP QB / Distributor / Shooter / Playmaker on the point and leads the breakout.
Leans distributor more than shooter ... has an understated / deceptive release and the ability to change the angle of his blade to direct pucks on net.
Competes the entire 200ft. Sturdy strong. Not punishing physically but also not easy to knock off the play.
Very good skater. Trending up.
Young for this draft class.
