do you like Lambos game? I haven’t seen him play yet.
Carson Lambos
Bowen Byram
Cale Makar
Jake Bean
Mikhail Sergachov
Ivan Provorov
Just some comparison numbers for players in their 16 year old season.
Provorov was playing the USHL as a 16 year old and adjusted nicely as the season went along which can be difficult for Euro's at 16
Sergachov was playingin the MHL which is Russia's junior league
Bean had a great rookie season on a very good team. His offensive game was very apparent back then
Makar was playing in the AJHL and even though that is an inferior league those numbers for a 16 year old are impressive
Byram season in context was extremely good for a 16 year old D man in the WHL
Lambos had a spectacular season IMO. The amount of ice time he had and what he did with it. It is hard to visualize but I will try to provide some context
Nolan Allan was the 3rd overall selection in that Bantam draft and he played 58 games with PA last season and put up 8 points in a bottom 6 role. I like Allan I think he is going to be in consideration for the first round next year. The only other guy I think at 16 who played D that had a good year was Graham Sward from Spokane. He had 17 points and played in a 3/4 spot there.
That kind of year that Lambos just had puts him in that top 3 pick kind of talk kind of year. Right now though the 2001 draft is looking super deep that a guy like Lambos could go much later and he might even be the 1st or 2nd D man taken
