they are playing vs wagner on tsn 5 in 30 mins

Team USA has a player named Red Savage?

 

[Atoyot]

I've said it before, but Lucius is a good skater. The idea that it's a weakness of his is outdated.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Lucuis just walked that one D and then made some moves in the corner and skated around the other D. He looks really good out here which is good

He has decent top speed when he gets going but he spends too much time floating around. I have to say he concerns me a lot as a player. I don't see top end tools nor do I see a player who plays with enough pace or battle for the next level. He's a very passive player most times I see him. He has bursts like that one shift in the second where he looks like he wants to be assertive and fight but the rest of the time he's largely invisible and losses races and puck battles pretty consistiently.

That is going to be his challenge going forward. How can he translate his speed into tangible results on the ice.

Then there is the inconvenient reality that he has never put up points. It’s One of the reasons I advocated for the WHL (Seattle).

So trade him with our 1st if we have to replace PLD?

 

[Atoyot]

Wagner showing some nice speed in the Sweden game.

Sandin-Pellikka is on my draft wishlist for this upcoming draft.

 

[Atoyot]

Canada's really playing the body on Lambert. 3:30 into the game and he's been hit 4 times.

What number is he.

 

[Atoyot]

What number is he.

33.

 

[Atoyot]

Nice assist for Lambert.

 

[surixon]

Nice assist for Lambert.

Yeah it was a good play at the blue line.

 

[Heldig]

I did not realize Lambert was on Team Finland.

 

[superdeluxe]

Any chance that Lambert gets reassigned after the worlds?

 

[larmex99]

Any chance that Lambert gets reassigned after the worlds?

Not ready for the Show and too good for the E. Where would he possibly be reassigned to?

I would have had him in Seattle this season if that helps. I don’t have any pull though so there’s that challenge.

 

[superdeluxe]

Major junior.

 

[larmex99]

Major junior.

You might be correct, but it’s too late.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

You might be correct, but it’s too late.

How is it too late?
He is not thriving in the AHL.

He is not thriving in the AHL.

You think the Jets are going to send him back to junior? Has that ever happened? Maybe too late was overstated but no way I am going to do the research with a Xmas Day hangover.

I wouldn't have said boo to it being extremely unlikely.
I agree he will stay with the Moose and they will continue to work with him.
I hope he finds his stride against Jrs at the WJC - but I won't be surprised if he does not. He is a project.

 

[Gil Fisher]

McGroarty and Lucius have been officially registered at the WJHC at 200lbs and 185lbs, respectively. Pretty solid, but I wonder if it's true.

Both 6' even.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Also, Lucius and Lambert are their team's X-factor.

For all of the fans that were gnashing their teeth last season because Nathan Smith didn’t sign with us then started out pretty hot for the Coyotes. This season he is a full time AHL player averaging .5 PPG as a 24 year old so it doesn’t seem like the odds are in his favour that he’s going to be an NHL asset.

Off the top of my head the Oilers kept Draisaitl on the parent club in his D +1 season for 37 games, released him to play for Germany in the world juniors, then reassigned him to junior. PA traded him to Kelowna where Leon thrived and got them to the memorial cup final.

It’s rare but it can happen.

Thing is Seattle is loaded so Lambert would be surrounded by his piers. He would not be the best player on that team by any means but he might finally discover his scoring touch but that is far from a given. He is only 18 and currently fans are overrated him if they think he is above that level. That is exactly where 18 year olds should be playing.

IMBO we are dropping the ball.

I realize I am on repeat cycle here so I will leave it at that.
