Brad Lambert has the opportunity of a lifetime ahead of the 2024-2025 NHL season.
Not only is the former first round pick poised to crack the Jets roster, Lambert has a serious shot of cementing himself on the Jets top 6. During a recent interview, Lambert discussed his thoughts on the opportunity in front of him.
"I'm super excited," the 20-year-old said during Jets development camp last month. "Obviously there's a lot of work ahead of me this summer. So that's kind of my thought process, taking it a day at a time, trying to get as much better as I can. So that come training camp I'm ready to compete."
The departure of Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli have left some gapping holes in the Jets top 6. Brad Lambert is looking to seize the moment to show the league and his teammates he's ready to make the jump to be a full time NHL'er.

Lambert, a first-round pick (No. 30) in the 2022 NHL Draft, appears primed to make the NHL leap, possibly into a second-line role with forwards Cole Perfetti and Nikolaj Ehlers. Lambert, in his first professional season in North America, led Manitoba of the AHL with 55 points (21 goals, 34 assists) in 64 games last season and was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team.
Jets enthusiasts will be watching Lambert closely during their preseason matchup. If Lambert manages to rise to the occasion, fans can expect to see the likes of Lambert playing a huge role in the Jets top 6 moving forward.
