I wasn't familiar with him before the draft (I don't spend much time on the players at before the draft), but he looks very promising!
He made some incredible passes in the video. I don't see any HIQ issues from that viewing.

Keep in mind that highlight packages typically show players at their best. I wish someone would start putting together Bleepers, Bloopers and Blunders packages for certain players just for balance.
I remember someone actually did that for Cody Ceci once. It was a good 10+ minutes

Imagine Big Sieve Dave's...
I'm guessing that scouts do their best to produce those warts n' all packages so that player evaluation is as comprehensive and accurate as possible. I seem to recall that the long vid posted upthread had some lowlights also to make points about the risks as well as the upside here.

I still love this pick. I see a lot of Kyle Connor. Not so much his shot and finish but from the rest of his game.
Yeah he's sort of like Ehlers in many ways.
Yeah his shot needs some work. Even if his finish doesn't translate at the NHL level I still see a lot of tools in terms of transition play and puck protection that should allow him to be successful in a middle 6 role.

Arbitration deadline has passed, and it looks like neither Lambert nor the Jets have filed for arbitration. This doesn't look good. 
Lambert doesn’t have the hockey IQ to file for arbitration.Arbitration deadline has passed, and it looks like neither Lambert nor the Jets have filed for arbitration. This doesn't look good.

You see the "hockey IQ" problem a lot more in the scouting video posted back on the first page. He's got Burmistrov like issues of holding on to the puck too long looking for a perfect pass instead of making a simple pass and making himself available for a return pass. I think this can be coached if the player wants to learn so I guess we'll fine out just how willing he is to learn.
The same video shows he can be extremely effective at zone entries and exits when playing Center. I'd give him every chance to develop as a center for that reason alone.

Those guys were going to the minors so there was no rush. There is a lot of question marks around where he is gonna play so I would have thought they would have prioritized this signing.
Thats a fair point - I'd imagine where he is playing next season is less of a question mark for chevy at this point though. Could be a indication he's heading to the WHL
Maybe he's concentrating on the upcoming jrs tournament.
So much hand wringing over 30th overall pick. There are no sure picks at 30. R-E-L-A-X. Get back to me in a couple years.

3rd period is about to go live of U20 Finland vs. Czech tune-up game for the World Juniors.
Reading from some of the comments on HF and Twitter, sounds like #28, Lambert, has been "toying" with the Czech team in this game.
Really thinking he is going to come alive in the WJC in a few weeks time here in Edmonton. Excited to watch him play.

The converted curling rink looks really odd. Thanks for the link
He just scored a ridiculous goal. No video yet though
High risk high reward pick. Jets could sure use a break and have him bust out as a top 6 forward.
The kid was seen as a potential top 3 pick for a reason. He's got mad talent and athletic ability, just needs to gain consistency and confidence.
This kid is really good. Can't wait to see him make a difference with the Jets. Great work scouting staff!

Looking forward to seeing him in the World Juniors.
I'm looking at this kid like a lottery ticket. I'm hoping it pays off, but have realistic expectations and will enjoy the ride.

How many players have actually done that?
Does someone hold the record?
