Age wise McDavid's 12-13 season is almost perfect comparison. Otherwise I'm not sure if it makes sense to compare anyone to McDavid at that point of their careers. Anyway, I would assume Lambert has a better chance of being one of the top players in spring after another year of development to make up for that young age.

No one's said generational but he could be the most talented Finn since Barkov.

I'm not saying that's a good comparable, but Lambert is one of the more hyped prospects in the sport right now, so that's something that should be brought up. One of these players coming up soon is probably going to be the next generational player, considering McDavid was a 2015 draftee. Lambert might be better suited as a top five caliber guy or maybe a non-generational 1OA type of player, although in 2022, it might require a very high caliber 1OA to be the first pick.

It's way too early to even begin speculating about that no1 spot i don't get why people even bother. Top 3 for sure maybe.

Oh he's definitely raised in Finland. :laugh: Holy **** did it sound like the typical hockey lingo Finnish juniors use.

Yeah thought the same thing when I saw the interview. He is definitely Finnish, the accent is there even though he speaks perfect English like expected.

We live in a world where Tkachuk and Niskanen are Canadian, Wahlstrom, Galchenyuk and Kaliyev are American, Rossi is Austrian, Lambert is Finnish and Zuccarello is Norwegian. It's truly fascinating

Niskanen is actually American, likewise with Tkachuk. A better example is Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic or Jake Virtanen, but Jake's grandfather actually lives in Finland.

Wahlstrom has a Swedish father, but he was born in America. Galchenyuk's father is also pure Russian. Zuccarello is his middle name, Mats actual last name is Aasen, which is very Norwegian.

There’s over 200 scouts and NHL personnel in attendance.

It’s the first major tournament for the 2020 NHL draft in their draft year.

It’s a very important tournament.

Very important tournaments have instant replay...

This can' be correct as you can't play major junior and then NCAA

Yes you can go from WHL to NCAA. Players have done this before, they had to sit out for a year mind you..

* ROSS Lambert went from NCAA to WHL, just want ppl to know that

Players have went from WHL TO NCAA

Has it happened recently, though? I thought current NCAA policy was that playing in the CHL rendered a player ineligible for the NCAA.

I mixed up Virtanen and Niskanen haha. And Zuccarello isn't a middle name, it's his last name but in some countries, kids get the last name of both parents.

I think each specific case is different and it really depends on how many games/seasons a player played in the CHL. 1 game in the CHL automatically means you have to sit out and lose a year of NCAA eligibility, though. It does happen, not often

One moment of silence for all the Canada bois that believed that he would represent their country. No chance mates

I guess they'll just have to ice a roster one player short, right? No chance they'll be able to find 23 elite hockey players to fill a roster out now.

He was absolutely terrific and absolutely lethal today. How often does a 15 year old score hat trick in this tournament? He could have had like three assist in the last game where in one particular situation Räty shot the puck out of both goal posts. Instead I think they took one assist from him where again Räty scored from the air (or at least at the time only one player was given an assist). Anyway all that bad luck disappeared against the Swiss' and Lambert had everything going for him and at the same time proved he hadn't been hyped for nothing. At least for once the last name won't prevent him from going first overall (not that he doesn't have the competition). :D

Räty has impressed the heck out of me as well, along with Suni. They've all come as advertised.

Real good player. 13 days older than Savoie. Still waiting for Savoie to show why he should be considered #1 over Lambert. Then again, I guess he can't while he's only playing with u-17s.

Savoie is like a mini McDavid. Very similar explosive style.

He’s an unbelievable skater, it’s just breathtaking watching him skate.

Size will be an issue for him if he doesn't grow.

You need to just enjoy your country's prospects... come on man. Is this going to be a thing every year until it happens? Your bias is disgusting, adding you to my blocked list.

Edit: someone ban him from the Savoie thread before its too late...
