Luca Marrelli

December 2024 – The Columbus Blue Jackets signed Marrelli to a three-year, entry-level contract. Mark Henry

July 2024 – Marrelli was selected 86th overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Mark Henry

April 2024- Marrelli is a player who looks the part with good size, athleticism, and movement skills. He thinks the game well and has made the right decisions, even if it means making the easy play. Marrelli’s production was great, but I don’t think he’s as dynamic offensively as the points would suggest. He’s a decent defender, but if he hopes to make the NH,L you would want him to improve in that area if he isn’t the most dynamic offensive player. Still, right-shot defensemen with his size and athleticism are coveted by NHL front offices, and if he can take major strides, he could break into the NHL in time. Jordan Harris
