Julian Lutz is a tenacious forechecking forward who plays the game with a high-motor and an relentless compete-level. His compete and ability to use his body to gain an advantage in 50/50 puck battles is a big part of his game. He is quick with his decision-making, thinking a few moves ahead and always knowing where his outlets are. He’s a plus-level passer, showing a knack for making simple and effective passes to set his teammates up for quality chances. While not a flashy player, he does have the odd high-skill rush from time-to-time, getting the puck to the high-danger areas so he can use his shot. His shot is strong, generating a ton of power and accuracy in his release. He gets a ton of velocity behind his shots, and his mechanics allow him to usually get the shots off clean. If he gets the puck in the slot he’s going to score on most of his chances. His skating was a bit up and down this year, which makes sense considering he had a back injury that held him out for some time. The skating concerns, for the most part, seem more a product of the injury more than any deficiency in his game. If he can get his skating back to the level it was before pre-injury his pace it will be less concerning, but as of right now it is fair to question his top-level speed. He has the potential to be a versatile player that can slot in up and down a lineup and play multiple situations. His high compete-level and forechecking ability will allow him to play a quality top-nine forward role and his shooting ability could make him an option on the man-advantage. The injury may cause teams to be a little cautious, but it is still possible he ends up being an early round pick. If Lutz does slide to the later rounds, he will be exceptional value.
