Daily Faceoff ranks Brad Lambert as the Jets second best prospect

I was so happy to see Lambert have such an excellent season last year after a difficult 2022-23. He had an assist in his NHL debut and also scored 21 goals and 55 points in 64 games with Manitoba. It wasn't his first pro year, having played two full years in the Finnish Liiga, but it helped establish himself as a legit high-end prospect again.

There's an argument that he's the best the team has, too, although I'm still giving McGroarty's overall game an edge. I hope Lambert has another strong preseason and pushes himself into the conversation to play full-time with Winnipeg sooner rather than later because a player with his skill will be so much fun to watch at the next level.
