Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Lambert’s gifts are undeniable. He’s a beautiful skater. His hands flow in sync with his feet. When he’s feeling good, he’s fearless with the puck, makes a ton of plays in control and looks to dictate in possession. He has excellent control of his outside edges, which allows him to carve up coverage on cutbacks and carries. He’s slippery because of his ability to spin away from his man and make a play. He’s a good passer off his backhand. He’s capable of playing pucks into space, getting to the interior, splitting lanes and cutting off the wall aggressively, and has a low base to his stride that allows him to extend plays (though he does have a bit of a hunch to his posture, which can put him off balance). He’s capable of playing the point and half-wall on the power play because of his puck skill, dangerous wrister off the flank and playmaking instincts.
