"Lambert had a strong AHL rookie campaign, but it seems like frustration set in last year when that initial success didn't lead to a spot on the Jets. His numbers declined and now in his third year in North America and not being an NHL regular, Lambert is pleading for a change of scenery and depending on the price tag, the Leafs should consider being that landing spot."
"The drop of in production in his second AHL season comes with an important caveat as well. Brad Lambert was still the second highest point producer on the Manitoba Moose. His 35 points put him just behind Mason Shaw's 37 points, and while you'd hope that Brad Lambert could have prevent some of the decline, the Moose had the second worst record in the AHL last season and the lowest goals for total. Asking a 20-year-old to fix that might have been asking too much."
Brad Lambert was a late first-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2022 after a difficult 2021-22 season. He delivered a strong AHL rookie campaign but experienced a decline in his second AHL season while with a struggling Manitoba Moose. Lambert still finished second on the Moose with 35 points despite the team's low scoring and poor record. He has ten NHL games with one goal and two assists. Lambert offers strong skating, puck-carrying ability, and higher-end potential that could fit the Leafs' need for youthful, cost-controlled talent if the price is right.
