Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2021/2022 Season

Liking Lambert at 30th overall. His upside is very high; he just needs to have fun with the game again.

And it addresses a need at the wing if he can realize his potential.

[Pigskin]

Lambert is a very quick dynamic player who has great puck control. Let's hope he can return to form of a couple of years ago. Like him at 30.

[Pigskin]

Wasn't sure about our 1st. pick with Lekkerimaki and Kemell still on the board. Both smaller talented RW's.

The player I wanted went one pick before. I think a few of the guys the Jets might have picked went early.

But in the context of the first round: we used our first pick on a consistent, hard working, high motor guy. Captain of the US team. High character. We used our second pick on the ultra-athletic, inconsistent player who may be the steal of the draft if he can put it all together.

One safe pick, one risky pick.

Jets take RHD Elias Salomonsson with the 55th overall pick in round 2.

[Pigskin]

Salomonsson (D), Zhilkin (C), Brown (D), Wagner (C).

[blue_gold_84]

And that's a wrap.

1 - 14 - Rutger Mcgroarty (RW)
1 - 30 - Brad Lambert (C)
2 - 55 - Elias Salomonsson (D)
3 - 77 - Danil Zhilkin (C)
4 - 99 - Garrett Brown (D)
6 - 175 - Fabian Wagner (C)
7 - 207 - Dominic DiVincetiis (G)

[Jockitch]

hopefully in a few years, a couple of these fellas are welcomed by a huge cheer from we Jet fans

[Pigskin]

Lambert is the only player in the pile that I have seen a few times. When he wants to play, he has a lot of talent.

[Jockitch]

Prior to UFA market opening on Wednesday the Jets did not make an offer sheet to Svechnikov
.......  talented but maybe he will get to play with his brother in Carolina

[Pigskin]

Vesalainen to play in Europe next year??

[Jesse]

Vesalainen to play in Europe next year??

That was his plan.

On another note...what the H E double hockey sticks is going on?

FA is tomorrow and we still don't have a Wheeler resolution? Are we trading one of our D? If we wait until after all the chips have settled it's going to be too late.

No QO for Svechnikov is disappointing.

[Jesse]

No QO for Svechnikov is disappointing.

Meh. Doesn't really register for me.

[GOLDMEMBER]

I agree with Jesse Svech was nothing to marvel at. Very inconsistent.
