Prospect Info: #113 Amadeus Lombardi, 2022 Draft

[TheOctopusKid]

I know that this kid was supposed to be offensively dynamic center but his knock was his size. What are we talking about with this kid now? Has he broken out in the AHL and proven he can play as an offensive C down there? Is this like...a Hudler situation where they let him slow bake for three years and he can come in as a 2-3C at the NHL level? Someone tell me how I should feel about him!

You should be cautiously very excited with how he's started the season. Jeff Marek was just tweeting about how good he is. If random media members are noticing it says something imo

I still like him long term as a winger, just because frankly I can't see him displacing Kasper or Danielson at winger and I'm starting to think he could be a top 6 forward.

He's not huge, but I wouldn't call him tiny, and he's just oozing confidence out there right now.

What did he say?

Always been hoping for this guy since his years in Flint and the first camp he was at, he is a potential diamond. Need some Lombardi on that Trophy.

What did he say?

"Again - Detroit has a real find in Lombardi.

This is a recording."

A couple more points for him this afternoon too

178lbs is pretty light for the NHL, that would put him at 42nd lightest.

8 goals and 6 assists in 17 games.

6 pts in last 5, and 8 in last 8 games. When a prospect reaches 1 pt per game in the AHL, that's when the discussion to call him up should start.

If the Wings continue their lackluster play with no offense, they're gonna at least have to considering bring him up and maybe Nate too. At least Watson isn't the only callup now.

BTW, game logs and highlights are available on the AHL website now, they've added a lot of features the last 2 years.

 

[Gniwder]

14 pts in his last 14 games, he's 1 pt per game for the season aside from the first 3 games.

We should be talking about this kid instead of Cleveland. I think everyone here has a steamer fetish or something.

Anyways, the kid is making a case to be the first callup considering the team needs more offense.

 

[Henkka]

Hope he could put 1,4 points per game like Kucherov did, and then we know it's time.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

He's been the best player in GR not named Cossa.
