Sabres probably aren’t swapping a middle pair RD for a guy having trouble breaking into the league
He also isn’t the “style” defenseman we’re looking for
Would have to be more of a “shut down” type imo

There's no incentive for Winnipeg to give Lambert and Stanley away for nothing.

Not sure why WPG would move one of it's most promising prospects in Lambert?

Jets laugh and hang up the phone.

Lambert's ceiling is 'literally Mark Scheifele'. They won't be trading him when he could legitimately make the roster out of camp next season and put up 40 points in the middle six.

The Jets are on track to have Lambert, Mcgroarty and Barlow all on the roster for 2025-26, and contributing 60 points each on ELCs. None of them are available via trade unless you have a legit #1 RHD that's available with term.
