Jett Luchanko’s AHL eligibility was debated yesterday and while there may not be a complete answer to whether 19-year-olds will be allowed to play for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in 2025-26, the easiest way for the player to make that speculation pointless is a big training camp that earns him a role with the NHL squad.Bill & Kelly discuss Luchanko, and other youngsters with a shot to crack the Flyers roster, as well as their optimism for this season, Sanheim potentially getting a fabric letter sewn on his sweater, and whether there could be a goalie controversy.
