Trade you!
I'm still in relative shock the Jets actually made this selection. I figured with how the board fell it would be Howard or Chesley, for sure. I thought the concerns about Lambert would steer them away and go a different direction entirely. I never figured he would really be in play, personally.
Boy, I am happy I was wrong, and I am really glad that the Jets swung for the home-run pick at #30.
With all due respect to the other selections, but when you are hearing the terms like "third line forward", "role for him in the NHL" etc. thrown around and slapped on picks in front of Lambert, it kind of puts things into perspective here. The Jets did extremely well when you consider the ceiling of what they were able to secure in Lambert.
Lambert is absolutely electric. His skating is out flat out ridiculous. Any time you are able to add a prospect like him to a pool at the end of the first round, you make it happen, and you ask questions later.
It's now up to him. If he's going to come (hopefully) to Seattle in the WHL and play with a chip on his shoulder, with something to prove, the Jets might have gotten one of the steals in the entire draft here.

Brad Lambert Q&A: No. 30 pick talks his speed, what's next, Lahti and more
Brad Lambert is a player with skill, speed, and the kind of easy talent that's highly noticeable on the ice. But what's he like off the ice?theathletic.com
Anyone with the Athletic, a nice interview pre draft.
I love how we're gonna have the Finnish mafia foaming at the mouth again in our forum. Christ.
Aavgard 2.0?

Very disappointing D season. He fell like a rock for good reason.

Yeah that's true.
But we don't have cold winters in Southern Finland so often anymore
thanks to global warming and climate change.
Last 2 winters ( 2021 and 2022 ) have been freezing cold but 2020 winter
was only pure September whole goddamn time.
Lets see what future brings for Brad Lambert.
But one thing is sure no more excuses etc bullshit now it's time to start working
and reach that potential what Lambert has in his store.
Hopefull Jets can make that very clear for Ross Lambert also because he's been the mastermind
all those team changes etc turbulence around Brad.

Jets have a fairly deep defensive prospect pool. We were a bit light in potential top 6 forwards. This helps us out there.

They passed on several good RHD. Odds are that they are all gone by 55.

No worries, once Brad Lambert develops into a franchise NHL player and then we find out he wants to be traded, we'll trade him for the top pair RHD we need.
Yeah, Jets are missing impact pieces in the D pipeline but have good depth. If there wasn’t a stud D prospect at our spots then I’m fine recouping some forward depth. Still hoping we take a D at 55 unless Trikozov or Firkus fall.
Sucks we’re a year away from our next first round pick, though.

Perhaps inside knowledge is why they didn't. Maybe Lane told them, my brother's a head case and he's f***ed his kid up for life. Not a fan of this pick but we'll see how he turns out. But my gut feeling is Chevy swung for the fences and struck out.

C-B? There's risk involved, but it's the right stuff IMO
A is getting similar upside with no or less risk and that aint as easy as saying
EDIT: I"M SORRY DAVE FOR HURTING YOUR FEELINGS

Not sure if there was a top pair D available. Korchinski, Mateychuk, and Mintyukov all went early. At #30 I’m not sure if you get an impact D, so I’m fine with the Lambert swing.
We should be able to get someone we really like at 55 anyway.

I'm not a fan of the Lambert pick at all. But I do see the potential. Uber boom/bust pick we got.

He's a really really good skater who lacks some game sense; forcing plays, taking too long to pass/shoot, doesn't really know how to get himself open. I also thing he's not engaged enough physically, might be because he doesn't have the physique for it.
