Care to elaborate? Do you mean from Lamberts perspective or from winnipegs perspective?

I’m not a fan of anymore Finnish kids in Winnipeg.
Lambert needed a strong management and Winnipegs a mess

By a Finnish press report, coming over to Seattle Thunderbirds is an option. Which the said press report then questions, not thinking that junior hockey would be better move than men's hockey.
Dad Lambert apparently knows Chevy from his Saskatchewan times.
You have no idea what your talking about.

Kind of just meddling is what I've read? He also spent time teaching him how to skate like the f***ing wind, so, can't be the worst dad ever lol.

Still don't understand what playing in WHL would actually accomplish. Yeah, he would no doubt score points. Probably get confidence back. But at junior level, Lambert would have no incentive to fix his flaws (lack of teamplay, lack of hockey IQ) and he could get by just with his skating alone. But of course, in 2 seasons he played in Liiga, he didn't impove on his flaws much either. So, I think both WHL and Liiga are bad ideas. Should go to AHL.

Well i expected a higher pick, just like everyone else pretty much. Lambert was also amazibg on U20 WC before It got stopped.What did you expect then a TOP10 pick after all that regression etc?.
Lambert should be happy of that he went even 30rd overall and STILL 1st round.
The rude and brutal fact is that few pics later ( If Jets, Lightning and Oilers would've passed him )
he would've been 2nd round pick sad but true and raw but honest.
Why 2022 NHL Draft Prospect Brad Lambert is on the Move
Brad Lambert, one of the top names for the 2022 NHL draft, switched teams this week. It's an opportunity for the young forward to show why he's got a good future in the game, but he can't waste any time doing so.thehockeynews.com
He hasn't been effective in Liiga but he's still played pretty well and his talent is really clear for everyone watching him. One of the best, if not the best skater of his draft class aswell.
Like Finnish media has written, his dad should really stay back now. If Jets can handle and develope him accordingly, they got a player with very high ceiling.
I think the Jets will get him in camp and go from there. See where he is at mentally, physically and skill wise and if it looks like he needs a lot of work then Seattle is a good place to spend a year. Solid org who should be a contender in the league. Going there will be more about boosting his confidence. If the Jets feel he is physically ready for NA pro then the AHL is an option too.

Just list every prospect the Jets have and call them units. Just like De Leo, Petan, Vasalainen, and all the other Jets overhyped busts. No franchise pumps their average/middling prospects like the Jets.
The AHL can be pretty intimidating for underage players. Not the best option for a young player who is struggling with confidence, and perhaps maturity. Is a decent option for those prospects who are stronger and more mature than average.

Imagine being upset about what someone once said about Chase De f***ing Leo. I think the guy peaked as the #11 ranked prospect on HFJets or something like that.
I think Lambert will end up being better than De Leo. Apologies in advance if someone 6-8 years in the future thinks that means I'm overrating Lambert.

Eh, worked out for Perfetti, even though he was smaller and not the best skater. Obviously all the hockey IQ in the world helped Perfetti, but the Moose will be a good team next year so he wouldn't have the weight of the world on his shoulders there.
Guess we'll see how his summer goes with WJC/Youngstars tournament/Camp etc.
He's definitely no elite talent like Riley Tufte, I'll say that.

Unfortunate he fell so hard and I hope he plays in the CHL next year so he can learn to love the game again!

That's like only 4 players, De Leo and Petan weren't even 1sts. Almost all of our 1st rounders have been a hit. Any prospect can bust if a) they're not developed properly or b) they're not good enough for the NHL
Up until recently the Stars drafting in the 1st round was horrible. They drafted middle 6ers/busts with those and got lucky with late round picks. People don't forget

Might be AHL bound. Worked out for Perfetti on a solid AHL team. Have the WJC, youngstars tourney and preseason to figure it out.
Our director of scouting said he hopes Lambert plays in the WHL next year
AppalachianFinn13
Nope.
All I know about Brat Lambert is his name. I saw him play two games in the world juniors or something and he played very well. Or was it someone else?
Well anyways I wish him all the best in the world.

I hate to say this but it looks like you don’t even have that down …
He would torch the league. That should give him some confidence back.
And hopefully he stops over-relying on his speed and uses his teammates better. Some easier competition in the WHL would be a good way to let him experiment. He needs to start over.
He is fast but physically very very raw which forces him to play a perimeter game in a men's league. I fully understand the head scouts words about going to the WHL. He needs a bit more time to mature his body and get some confidence back on the way while playing juniors. Goes to show Liiga is not that easy of a league as some NA posters keep saying. Also, apparently he went to train in Toronto after the combine and learned that one must actually eat A LOT to grow muscle from all the training you do.
In my opinion in a best case scenario he is a top 9 roster player in two years for the Jets, but three years is a bit more realistic.
