From what I recall he has generally been a fan of how the Jets draft.so this doesn't surprise coming from him.

I haven't been banking on Salo being a point producing D, so him being able to get points in the AHL as a rookie is really great.
My main hope with Salo has been to be a really good two way D based on his skating and solid defensive play. Great start for him.

Salomonsson leading the team with 9 points in 10 games, tied with Chibrikov who has played 11 games.
I've watched him a lot lately and that is still his game but he's benefiting by being the dmen on pp1. He has a plus shot and finds the lanes to get it through.

I think he's #1. I think once he gets his chance he will be a full time Jet.

I think he might position himself as an injury callup, maybe first in line on the right side. It really depends because very few teams rely on rookies to get them through the playoffs, they generally have to be of the exceptional nature (Makar). Even a guy like Subban spent a whole year in the A, before getting the callup as an injury replacement.
I hear a lot of good things about his game but I notice that he has gone backwards from being a +4 player after week one to -1. So he's getting outscored regularly ES. I can't say if it is because of the forwards having no scoring punch, goaltending, or d-partners, @surixon would have a better idea of this one. And he is generally effusive of him.
He's getting ice time now, top PP, I think he gets top or 2nd unit PK, at a pro level, that he might not get on the Jets, so it's not bad to keep him playing a lot of minutes in a lot of different game situations (He was out in a 4-3 PK in OT, and I believe was the first d-man on for 3 on 3). In the development phase those big minutes and key situations could be the difference between growing into a top 4 d-man or playing effective sheltered minutes at the NHL level and having to grow from there.
I think our prospect rating would certainly be different now than they were at the start of the season.
#1 looks like either Yager or Salomonsson.
#3 Lambert
Freij would probably be higher, He for sure, and Walton, and guys like Barlow would probably slide, Rashevsky too.
I wouldn't be using plus/minus to grade anyone on this Moose team. The team was third worst in GF up until today.
His defense has been good, but like any young player, especially one new to the NA game there are still things to work on.
He's getting what I hoped he'd get and that is a lot of reps in offensive situations and he's really growing in that regard each time I see him.
He's showing more offensive instincts then I thought he had. He knows how to support a rush/cycle and get open in good spots (his second goal)

Re: Lambert - believe illness kept him out of game in Milwaukee.
Here are the Salomonsson goals from Wednesday AM: Salomonsson | Salomonsson |
