Great stuff.

Especially good to hear that Ville has been able to recover his speed and mobility -- tricky injury with a typically asymmetrical recovery line.

Also liked the characterization of Lambert as a listener who works hard and is coachable, and ready to work hard to make the next jump and of the description of the importance of separation speed in a centre who's working back and low in the DZ in order to collect the puck and transition through the neutral zone. Like the idea of a very quick C with strong winger support as an option against the usual Jets mould of the hardworking Lowry-esque C using strength and smarts to defend and move the puck up ice for offence.
