Confirmed Trade: [NJD/DET] Amadeus Lombardi for 2026 4th round pick

[SuperScript29]

Watched a lot of his games in the AHL, he does have skill but I was always left with a 'meh' impression every time. I think it's more about the unknown rather than value, because as far as value goes I'm not surprised this is what he fetched, maybe at best a 3rd round pick.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Had to free up cap space for the Wallinder re-signing.

Do i think he becomes an NHLer? no.
Do i think he plays a few games in his career? Yes.
Do i wish we saw him for a few games while he was our property? yes
Am i disappointed? No.

Kid just never popped. Lot of kids potentially hitting GRG next year. Makes sense to trade and try again.

I don't like this are all, give him a bloody chance like WTF we play him zero games and just dump him for a 4th rounder. Sigh

Between the players already signed and the RFA'S seems like there are better options than Lombardi. Getting another draft pick allows them to remove money from the roster while adding another prospect for the future.

Not hard to understand.

He will be solid third line wing . Is he worth fourth round , I think he is much better than that.

 

[deca guard]

so smart / handed / edged , creator of exciting plays . but hasnt developed the strength to deal with pro traffic . maybe can catch on as a 3 line winger , this is for njd spqr army in the stands

No, plain and simple no.

Detroit's bottom 6 was completely garbage in the second half of the season barely scoring at all. They should have given Lombardi a chance.

[QuizGuy66]

One of the coolest hockey names. Another good one was Luciano Borsato who played for the Jets.

Imagine the parents "we're gonna go ahead and name our child Amadeus".

This is where i pop in to say the “red rising” series is amazing, best sci-fi of all time. Sorry, the bullshit name reminded me. Anyway, dude ain’t no Mozart, that’s for damned sure.

Always loved the short training camp looks I did see from Lombardi.

He was kind of the unluckiest guy ever to get an NHL chance.

When he was going hot at AHL, the NHL side also was doing fine. And when NHL side had an injury, Amadeus had been injured too and never got a call.
