Imo (I'm not a pro scout) , I would rather keep both Lambos and Addison.
Hear me out.
I look at tape and scout for fun and am not employed by any team to be clear.
I am a Wild fan first, but I try not to let a ton of bias slip in. I look at players that I am interested in so I mostly look at Kings prospects, Rangers, Islanders, Habs, and a few others here and there. But funny enough I compare Lambos to a player already on the Wild. Brodin.
Lambos has Elite skating ability and great first strides. He uses his skating to stay in position and lock down the other teams best players every night. I however believe that Lambos has a bit higher offensive upside than Brodin (Lambos also hits a bit more often). He has a great knack for getting his wrist shot through traffic and on net.
I have no doubt that Lambos will go from Jr to the NHL right away.
From everything I see Lambos is a floor high end top 4 D-man with a top 2 ceiling that fell in the draft due to injury and COVID. I don't think you trade him plus other assets for Giroux.
Imagine two Brodin like Defensmen on the Wild. It should happen within 1-2 years.
