That’s what league sources say #GoJetsGo have cleared 2022 first-round pick Brad Lambert’s representation to find a trade partner. Lambert, 21, has one goal in four games #nhljets in limited minutes this season.
Seravalli confirmed Lambert’s camp recently received approval to explore potential landing spots as his path to a full-time NHL role in Winnipeg has tightened of late.
The Jets recently activated Morgan Barron and Cole Koepke from injured reserve, and to make room for the returning players, they sent down Lambert, Nikita Chibrikov and Parker Ford. It’s clear that Lambert is frustrated that he isn’t getting the NHL minutes he wants and needs to continue his development.
BRAD LAMBERT HAS HIS FIRST NHL GOAL‼️
Winnipeg still sees Lambert’s long-term potential, but it’s understandable that he’s frustrated with the back and forth between the Jets and the Manitoba Moose, along with the limited playing time he’s getting in the NHL.
Lambert was solid at the AHL level, recording 30 goals and 63 assists for 93 points in 141 games. The 2024-2025 season was a down year, but Manitoba was the worst team in the league and had the worst season in franchise history.
The native of Lahti, Finland, helped his country win silver at the 2022 World Junior Championship. He also won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with the Seattle Thunderbirds in 2022-2023, recording 38 points (17G, 21A) in 26 regular season games and 26 points (6G, 20A) in 17 playoff games.
Does this mean Winnipeg will definitely trade Lambert? No, but if the right deal comes along, they will certainly consider it. Lambert is the one who wants out, so Winnipeg will try to get something good in return.
