Luff played with the Hamilton Bulldogs last season in the OHL. In 61 games he recorded 57 points, 27 goals and 30 assists.
At just 19 years of age Luff has tons of time to continue to development. Dean Lombardi has had to get creative with the roster due to the lack of cap space and we’ll see if any of these young players pan out.
