Prospect Info: Jets Prospects

[Teppo Numenor]

I have a feeling that his game will translate to the pros better than we think it will

If someone just watched stats in junior after a player was drafted, then Nic Petan would have been a sure bet. But he put up points in junior in a way that doesn't translate to the NHL

Barlow's offensive skills aren't in question... it's a matter of whether he can play with pace and develop the defensive side of his game

I look at him and I hope for "a more engaged Tyler Toffoli"

Tyler toffoli was the exact comparable i had in mind as well

Good point. But Chibi is a different kind of player - and doing at least a little better this year.

I'm not knocking Lambert. I still have hope that he makes it in the top 6. But I think other prospects are passing him. I think there is too much certainty about him expressed here.

There is a lot of certainty about Solomonsson as well.

Hope you guys are right

A fair point...

In his last stint, he did. That was D+3
In his D+2 year, when he would have been too young for the AHL if he had been drafted out of the CHL, he came pretty close.

Lambert scored at a similar pace to Connor in his D+2 year but this year he is scoring at .5 pts/game. I know the Moose are bad this year. They would be better if Lambert was being more productive.

I don't think Connor was particularly close in his draft+2 season, and Connor was undeniably a better offensive talent than Lambert. Some years, the team just isn't there for offensive output.

There is a lot of certainty about Solomonsson as well.

Salomonsson is having a splendid first AHL season, all things considered. Despite missing 7 or so games with an injury, he's 2nd on the team in scoring, with a very respectable 12 points in 17 games.

Lambert is working on his two way game as a pro center. A bit different than playing wing. I could see him slotting in as 4C if his defensive game is adequate. Much higher ceiling than gus or kup with the speed to be an effective pk and room to move up the lineup.

Salomonsson's development arc supports it much better than Lambert's up and down one does.

Connor in AHL in D+2 .85 ppg
Lambert in AHL in D+2 .86 ppg

I'm not saying he isn't doing well, I am just comparing him to another player that did very well in the minors.

I am more than happy with Lambert's development since he joined the organization.

So are a lot of others here. I am questioning that.

Maybe he makes it as a winger.

Maybe he falls just short of being a top 6 player and doesn't fit a bottom 6 role. Like a Jack Roslovic.

It's good to see barlow get in a groove,looks like he is starting to understand his positioning in relation to his line mates,he seemed out of sorts the early games not understanding his role,to me he looked to try and pass when he was expected to be the trigger man.but non of them had a training camp together, he has alot to learn but firing home a one timer isn't one of them..
