Luca Cunti (TB), C, Chicago Steel
The Steel's offensive attack began to go directly through Cunti after the departure of Andy Miele and Luca's game has thrived because of it .. simply fun to watch skate, as he is so smooth with his effortless acceleration and the ability to stop on a dime .. his world-class skill is undeniable even though he can be invisible for long stretches of time .. a creative, playmaking type that displays good instincts on the powerplay by sending crisp passes through the opposition's penalty kill box while his teammates are keeping everything to the perimeter .. puck control is outstanding, as he is a slippery puckhandler that can slow the game down to his liking .. began to backcheck harder, ventured into traffic areas with more regularity late in the season, and was often able to stay on his feet while taking a check .. along with his glaring lack of consistency, Cunti will need to prove his toughness and passion for the game at higher levels of play.
