With all the nonsense surrounding Rutger McGroarty, this prospect has quietly stolen the hearts in Jets Nation.
Fans are wondering what currently lies ahead for top prospect Brad Lambert. With GM Cheveldayoff's focus shifting to promoting internal talent, fans are calling for Lambert to step up to the plate.
The most likely candidate to crack the lineup next season is 20-year-old forward Brad Lambert. The 30th overall selection in the 2022 NHL Draft has developed rapidly, and last season was a massive step forward. As a main scoring option for the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL), he posted 55 points in 64 games, was named an AHL All-Star and to the AHL's All-Rookie First Team.

Theres definitely a massive opportunity coming up for Lambert down the stretch here. With an impressive showcase at the Jets summer development camp, the story book could be set for Lambert's glorious emergence into the NHL.
Lambert's training camp, and the battle for the second-line centre role, will be a top storyline when it gets underway in Sept. With his dynamic skating and speed, he may make the jump to the NHL as a winger, which would place less defensive responsibility on him to begin his career. Look for Lambert to get NHL action in 2024-25, with it potentially coming on Oct. 9th, when the Jets open their season against the Edmonton Oilers.
If the Jets decide to pull the trigger on making Lambert a full time starter, fans are wondering if Lambert could be a contender for the Calder trophy ahead of the 2024-25 NHL regular season.
