Lambert for and away the best Jets prospect. Yager has very impressive defensive positioning for such a young center. I'm very hopeful for his future. Salomonsson not very good. Hopefully this is a transition period, but I expected much more in this tourny.

Lambert is head and shoulders above the others.
But we seem to have some really nice pieces.
Agree that Salo hasn’t found his footing yet.
Yager has shown some flashes as well but still lots more I’m sure.

Yup Yager is very good at disrupting in large part to his positioning and ability to read the play. Very happy with what I've seen from him so far and he'll have a couple years still to further grow his game before he's a factor for the Jets.
It's against other kids but Lambert does look ready. Don't really see the point in not giving him a shot at 2C with talented players. Name is always there if he isn't ready.

As most are calling out, Lambert stands out as the most pro ready - lot of skill and the added weight (although not a ton) seems to give him a little more stability. Doesn't seem to be very concerned about taking a hit - maybe a bit too casual out there but I'm sure he'd be more aware if playing in the bigs.
I'd bring him up as a 4th line center and slot him into the second line with Cole and Ehlers here and there - let him get a taste of 4th line work and 2nd line skill. There's really no reason they couldn't take that approach.
Yager is the other guy that stands out but in a different way - he's looks like he's not out to impress anyone in a big way. He's very mindful of who is on the ice and the opportunities - but he doesn't force anything. Really like that approach for a guy his age - looking very promising.

Salomonsson having a real rough tournament. Definitely needs a year in the AHL to adapt to NA.

He's looking like bogosian out there on a couple goals against. No strides, not holding his stick tight, just really casual

I think we need to draft a few D men in the coming years

Yager needs more support from his linemates in the nz. Chibrikov is surprisingly weak in his transition play. Barlow is non existent again.

Julien needs to use his frame and go to the net if he wants the NHL
Chibby needs work, Barlow needs lotsa work.

Well a win would of been nice but this tourney is more about getting your feet wet and experience. That being said we have some nice prospects but most if not all are years away. Lambert at TC will be must see, pulling for him.

Judging by the way these guys dominated then got cocky and collapsed and gave up...I'd say they are all ready to be Jets...
After two games
1..lambert
2. Julien
3. Chib
4. Yager
5. Salo - I'm being generous
Everything else is scrap
Swapped he for yager because I think he prob benefitted from lambert

Yup. We really don’t have any good defensive prospects right now.
Barlow seems amazingly slow for this level of play. I'm starting to worry about this pick.

Well if Ehlers does not want to sign an extension and must be moved then the Jets need to look at getting a top 4 younger D man in return, our pipeline is dry
