Not with his lack of hockey sense, he won’t!

He in fact sucks more now. It's been over a week since he's been drafted and he hasn't put up a single point since then. He's clearly regressing

 

[fmrdh]

Boom or bust, this was the right pick at the time and always will be IMO.

I have also heard he hasn't even bothered to show up at the rink yet let alone attend any team meetings or practices. That is a major red flag.

Now it’s all coming together. That’s why Lambert and his Dad were spotted out in the town in Montreal with PLD and papa Dubois.

Any relation to the great Pierre Lambert of Les Nationals?

The only thing I remember from that how was Marc Gagnon has a friend in Winnipeg named Honey!

Honey

Honey est un personnage de Lance et compte (Série). Elle est la maîtresse de Marc Gagnon lorsque celui-ci joue à Winnipeg.

I hear Lambert's hockey IQ is so low, he can't even hold the pen correctly to sign his ELC. (I'm just joking)

Will he be playing at the WJC?

yes

Will he be playing at the WJC?

If he makes the squad?

 

[Jukurit]

Koivunen-Helenius-Lambert was a really good line in the 2 games they played together at WJC, so seems reasonable to think they will be reunited.

Putting him as center as equal to saying gopdbye to his NHL career. He doesn't have good enough reflexes to be a good face off taker nor his positional play defensively is not nearlv good enough. His level of play dropped a lot when he was played as center. As winger he is much better. Let's put it this way, if he develops nicely IMO his cealing as winger 2nd line NHLer, as a center a 3rd line AHLer.

He will need to play up the middle at the WHL level as he needs to have the puck. He at the WHL will blow around the other players like they are pilots. I watched a fair bit of WHL hockey last season and I have no doubt this would happen. At the wing at the WHL level he will be frustrated waiting for the puck and get all sorts of bad habits getting out of position to go retrieve the puck etc. NHL right wing WHL centre.

Yeah there's no chance in hell he's hitting 2 PPG. Even on a contender like Seattle even if he is the best player in the league.

Do you watch any WHL hockey ? This player underage was dominant in the world juniors …

Yes I do. I have season tickets actually. 2 players in the last 22 years have hit 2+ PPG in the Dub. He has a better chance of craping his pants on the ice than he does hitting 2 PPG. I like him as a player but expecting that from him is lunacy.

Decent highlight video with a familiar voice to us Jets fans. Video also includes Heinola and Nikkanen.

Remember this conversation if he plays in the league you will be embarrassed.

After watching this video, I am even more reassured that the concerns about Lambert's hIQ are overblown. His decreased point production last year is likely multifactorial--with off ice factors being a part. On ice, I see a weak shot that needs some work, but his shooting percentage was also very low (~3%) and a bit of puck luck would have put him ahead of Slafkovsky in Liga points.

I see a very talented potential NHL winger, with Ehlers-level speed, transition ability, possession and vision (with all of his warts). It took Ehlers 1 year post-draft to make the NHL. I predict that Lambert will be playing RW on the Jets sometime in 2024.
