Lambert sure likes playing in all-star games. Couple of nice goals so far.
I think he should get some games at the beginning of the season if he continues his trend. Then go back to the A for most of the season. He will then be ready by late season or the following. More or less the same as they did with kfcBrad had such a long way to go that I find it hard to believe he would be ready next year, especially for a top 6 role - but I haven't actually seen him play this year. It is certainly possible. It would be huge to fill that 2C spot internally so soon.
Lambert and the Finnish hockey powers that be clearly had some sort of beef given his Liiga and Juniors usage. He didn't even get selected for the Juniors team in his final eligible year. He definitely has things he needs to work on, most notably his defensive play seems to be reliant on him hooking players non stop, but I put a lot more value in his play in the AHL right now than I do his play in Liiga.Brad had such a long way to go that I find it hard to believe he would be ready next year, especially for a top 6 role - but I haven't actually seen him play this year.

False. He wasn't eligible for the 2023-24 tournament. 12 days too old.Lambert and the Finnish hockey powers that be clearly had some sort of beef given his Liiga and Juniors usage.

Thanks for the correction, I misremembered.False. He wasn't eligible for the 2023-24 tournament. 12 days too old.
That said, you're partially right: Team Finland has some of the most braindead selection criteria with regards to the WJC tourneys. For example, they regularly leave NCAA-committed prospects off the team as a means of promoting the Finnish hockey development system (which is a total disaster right now). In some cases, they've had some quite clear "I don't like you" -related snubs. Lambert could very well have become one, given how his Liiga tenure went, but I don't think he ever got robbed out of a spot on the team.
Now that Milic is called up, I don’t think there’s anyone down there, no.Any good prospects at echl Norfolk? Seeing two games this weekend
Have fun!Gotcha my brother is wearing the blue RCAF jersey and I am wearing thrashers stuff one night on a two night trip.
Him Chibrikov and Malott have been a line for a bit now and they're getting a ton of chances that just aren't going in. He's not looking bad out there, just a little snakebit right now.Hopefully Lambert can get his offense back on track. There hasn't been much production from him lately.
Thought the Moose won?Tim Gettinger.
