Prospect Info: #113 Amadeus Lombardi, 2022 Draft

[jfrank21]

13 points past 5 games.

This kid is exciting. I really think we might have something here.

He was impressive during prospects camp. I dont know how excited I can get, just based on the fact that he's kinda doing what he should be doing as a 19 year old OHL player. A skilled guy on the smaller side who is eligible for the AHL next season should be putting up at least 1.5ppg in the OHL to have a legitimate shot as a prospect. But if he can keep up what he's been doing the past few weeks, it will certainly raise his stock for sure!

Othmann injured and Lombardi started carrying the team. ?

There just huge difference in point-leaders vs. my last check. Lombardi pulling away... I remember he wasn't even a Top3 scorer at October 16th.

Othmann was traded

Lombardi is stacking up extremely well to the CHLers taken in the first round

113th Overall - Lombardi OHL PPG: 1.39

Better than

9th Overall - Savoie WHL PPG : 1.29
11th overall - Geekie WHL PPG: 1.26
22nd overall - Gaucher OHL PPG: 1.21
33rd OA : Beck OHL PPG - 1.375 ppg

Obviously these numbers are close and JR PPGs are just one part of the puzzle, but rn looks like a slam dunk pick who likely goes top 35 in a redraft rn

Remember though he is an actual 03 birthdate. Not a late one. So his original draft year was technically 2021.

He's also older than those prospects

 

[Holden Caufield]

He's also older than those prospects

Stillman, Boucher and Othmann were all OHL first round forwards from his original draft (2021)
He is outperforming them currently.

Lombardi is an excellent pro level skater and they took a flyer on him because he really stepped up his game and showed more in the playoffs last year. Seems to be working out.

Keep in mind the year Lombardi was ‘passed on’ in the draft was the Covid year that the OHL was completely cancelled.

 

[stillwater]

And, he has the same first name as a famous composer, and so did Sergei Fedorov.

Coincidence? I think not ... similarities abound.

 

[jfrank21]

Yeah, I guess my point is more along of the lines that Hanas put up similar numbers last year and people dogged him as a prospect, but because Lombardi is putting up these numbers right after being drafted, people are getting worked up over his potential (which he has a ton of). But people need to be aware of his actual comparables, which arent the 17 and 18 year olds drafted with him.

Game is on right now . Flint getting their butts kicked . Not this draft , but next one

Midway through the 3rd, Flint down 5-3. Was 4-0 early so they’ve steadied.

Lombardi just scored his 18th of the season to keep his streak going.

 

[Killerjas]

Lombardi playing like wants to leave Flint ASAP

Can’t imagine why.

Yeah, how does this comparison work against 2021 draftees?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

That’s a tough one because he missed the whole of 20-21 season due to the shutdown.

Quite sure there are guys currently playing from that 2021 draft, those age mates ?

Weren't a lot of forwards drafted from the OHL that year, and some of them are already in the NHL (Johnston, McTavish)

Brennan Othmann (#16 overall pick) - 35 pts in 26 games
Chase Stillman (#29 overall pick) - 23 pts in 26 games
Francesco Pinelli (#42 overall) - 31 pts in 22 games
Ryan Winterton (#67 overall pick) - Injured
Brett Harrison (#85 overall pick) - 26 pts in 22 games

Lombardi - 40 pts in 29 games

 

[Filppula]

2 goals through 2 periods tonight. 8 game point streak and 7 goals last 4 games.

The pick we gave up for Cossa (plus we could've had Raty too with the other Cossa pick)

Meanwhile, this kid is ripping it up. Tied for 3rd in OHL points. 1 point off of second place, but Ty Voit has a decent lead on everybody as #1.

Worth noting: Pavel Mintyukov is 1 point behind Lombardi in the same number of games. That guy is putting up crazy amounts of points for a defenseman.

 

[ChadS]

Went end to end on his first goal last night, pretty nice one. Also on the ice and involved in all Flint goals again.

18 points (12+6) in his last 8 games.

 

[HoweFan]

What is he like playing defense

Kris Draper clone..with more offensive potential
