Live from the 2024 NHL Entry Draft from Las Vegas, Nevada and we had our first trade. The Philadelphia Flyers announced a trade at their 12th overall draft selection. The Flyers completed the trade with the Minnesota Wild for the 12th pick, Zeev Buium, in exchange for the 13th pick, Jett Luchanko, and a 2025 third rounder is included.

The Philadelphia Flyers Decide to Trade Their 12th Overall Pick

With the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers have selected Jett Luchanko from the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). While the NHL often relies on size as a defining factor to select a player early in a draft class, it’s also been proven time and time again that work ethic and tenacity can offset size and allow a player to earn a selection in the early first or second rounds of the draft.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

After leading the Colorado Avalanche to their third Stanley Cup in 2022, Nathan MacKinnon became the team’s third winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy in 2024. The 28-year-old forward took home both of hockey’s Most Valuable Player awards, winning the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award after putting up a franchise record 140 points. It was easily the best season of his sparkling career so far, and included a 35-game point streak at home.

Jett Luchanko was one prospect I didn’t see going off the board in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft. But Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere thought otherwise when he made the 17-year-old the 13th overall pick. And to say it was a brilliant move is quite the understatement because Luchanko made play after play this past season for the Guelph Storm, and it foreshadows what his days will look like when he’s playing in the NHL in a few seasons.
