It's the third time Luchuk's been traded within the last calendar year. He was originally sent to Toronto from Ottawa in the Nikita Zaitsev/Cody Ceci in July, before the Maple Leafs flipped him back to Ottawa last week for Max Veronneau. Luchuk has played almost exclusively with Newfoundland in the ECHL this season, racking up 50 points in 45 games.

Luchuk was an undrafted free agent who signed with Ottawa after his fifth year in the OHL, where he amassed 50 goals and 65 assists (115 points) in 68 games between the Windsor Spitfires and Barrie Colts. In his first professional seaosn, Luchuk split his time between the AHL and ECHL—picking up nine points (4G / 5A) in 27 games with Belleville (AHL). He will likely report to the Toronto Marlies to start 2020.
