C Brad Lambert - HIFK U20, Jr. A SM-liiga (2022 Draft)

[jj cale]

He'll choose Canada and will never see a best-on-best adult tournament.

Canada is too stacked.

heh,heh, perhaps so.

 

[FinnishSniper]

The kid will not choose Canada, his ig tells it all. He has so many friends in Finland and the national team, that I quarantee that he will choose Finland. 1 million %, no questions asked.

Yeah I've followed him for a quite long time on IG but haven't thought that it really means that much, good to see someone bringing it up.

That’s similar case to oleksii myklukha, although he is ethnic Ukrainian he spent most of his hockey playing years in Slovakia and based on what he posts he has desire to represent Slovakia.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Unfortunately, Lambert has his work cut out for him because Savoie really should be the strongest prospect since Matthews. A little unlucky. If he was born a few months earlier and was going in 2021 I think that he'd have a very good chance. Still though, I doubt anyone saw Lambert's ASM performance this season coming, so who even knows...

Do you mean since Dahlin?

 

[Finpower]

I know it's unlikely but we might see Lambert in u18 world championships this year. Usually u18 players that play in u20 level and average 1ppg make the team. For example Aaltonen made the team last year with 21 points in 34 games.
Altough I think they prefer to work with the same roster and not bring new players in just before the tournament. Elite level players being an expection

I don't think so. The '01 group with couple '02 guys is too stacked.

 

[FinPanda]

1 assist yesterday, two primary assists so far today (a bit more than 5 minutes to go).

2+8 in 10 games now. Are we sure he has not born earlier?

 

[ijuka]

I still wouldn't lump the spring and fall seasons together. At A-SM he's at 8 points in 7 games, it's more difficult to score in.

Considering, I'd say that that's better scoring than Kaapo Kakko's during his u17 season. If we assumed a full spring at this pace.

True, I said something about it at some point about that but forget to continue it. But even if you count both it is still ridiculously impressive.

2016: Laine
2017: Heiskanen
2018: Kotkaniemi
2019: Kakko
2020: Lundell
2021: Räty
2022: Lambert

What a streak it would be to have 7 years of consecutive top 3 picks.

 

[FinnishSniper]

I've never seen a more talented kid in my life. He is a probably going to play in Liiga next year, I'd say.

I don't think even Kakko is a lock to be a top 3 pick, Lundell is even further from a sure thing. It would be nice though.

As much as I have argued with Finns regarding the Hughes/Kakko debate....I would be absolutely shocked if Kakko lasted until the 3rd pick. Him and Hughes are a clear tier ahead of the pack

I could see him becoming the youngest player to ever play in Liiga next season, if he went for it. To be honest, if he keeps a PPG production at the u-20 league up, he probably should be playing at u-18 WJCs this spring.

 

[Noma]

Lambert told local newspaper Etelä-Suomen Sanomat that he hasn't yet made the decision about whether he would like to represent Finland or Canada. He will think about it when the time comes.

That’s a bold statement considering the recent emergence of super skilled Finns.

He is reeeeeallly dynamic and skilled

 

[Artorius Horus T]

All together 27 games so far this season (C, B, A, International games) started the season as a 14 year old, now is 15 years and 36 days old.
15 goals, 18 assists, 32 points, with 35 penalty minutes, awesome numbers if you consider the competition he has played against.

Its crazy how many points he has scored already in the A-Junior Sm-Liiga.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

There are only 4 players in his team who are 1 ppg or higher and Lambert is one of them

 

[Esko6]

Why is this thread hidden, I cannot see it in the forum, I can only find it with google. I am not ignoring it.

Leijonat - U17 pelaa viiden maan turnauksessa Ruotsissa – Joukkueen kokoonpano

He was named to the U17 national team now. Nice to see.

Got a "promotion" from the U16's.

Does this mean he´s going to play for Finland in the future or can he still switch to Canada?

This doesnt lock him into anything
