Is Brad Lambert ready to join the Jets full time

Lambert spent all of last season with the Manitoba Moose and was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team after scoring 21 goals and adding 34 assists for 55 points in 64 games. The 20-year-old Finnish-born centre was rewarded for that effort by getting called up to the Jets to play in Winnipeg's regular season finale at Canada Life Centre.

Brad Lambert, C

December 19, 2003 | 6-foot-1 | 173 pounds | Shoots right

Drafted: No. 30 in 2022
Tier: Top 6 player

Skating: Above NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: Above NHL average
Compete: NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Analysis: Lambert had a great season, bouncing back after a few years of up-and-down play to become an AHL All-Star and a major driver of Manitoba's offense. Lambert has clear NHL speed and skill. When he winds up with the puck he can fly by opponents. Lambert isn't a natural playmaker, but he sees the ice well enough and has a strong wrist shot, too. The biggest issue in Lambert's game historically has been his compete. He can drift to the perimeter a bit too much and has a history of being inconsistent. The perimeter player was still there but the consistency wasn't an issue last season. He's trending as a legit Top 6 NHL forward and could potentially play higher.
