Even thought the majority of the players playing in this tourney will never make the NHL I always enjoy watching, maybe this year we have a better showing

I like our forwards but that defense is pretty bad outside of Salomonsson.

Really want to see the progress our young goalie prospects and if one shows more than the other

With the D the Jets are sending, they’ll get a good peppering.

Top 3 lines all have some offensive potential...I believe Lambert and Barlow played a game or two on the Moose at the end of the season so maybe they'll click.

Defense looks suspect but will be first time seeing Dylan Anhorn play. Had a strong college year at St. Cloud St. last season 33 pts in 38 games. 25 years old playing his first pro season. Hopefully he turns out to be another one of those Zinger finds.

Lambert added 8lbs over the summer... good sign.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Agree that forwards look exciting, goalies interesting, and the D outside of that Salmo / Anhorn pairing pretty weak.

But this tourney is always more about watching individual players for signs of where they are in their trajectory than team development, tactics or success. My main hope is that the Calgary Goons refrain from their annual tradition of taking out a Baby Jet for a few dozen games / season.

Play 'er safe, gents.

Hopefully it doesn't impact his speed too much. We saw something similar with JoMo around the same age where he put on weight too quickly.

 

[LowLefty]

Lambert added 8lbs over the summer... good sign.

Really good sign - he needed to add a bit and it wouldn't surprise me is he continues to add.
As long as he doesn't try to pile on a lot of bulk in a short period, I'd think the gradual add of muscle will be a huge difference maker for him - especially when transitioning into the NHL.

Unless he did it on the Finnish Diet.

These days it's common for professional athletes to hire experts to help them meet their goals. Lambo must have hired the best of the best
