Following this year’s NHL Prospects Tournament, Grand Rapids Griffins coach Ben Simon said of Lombardi: “Amadeus has a good little motor to him. He scoots around the ice pretty well. Sometimes a little bit too well. He takes himself out of plays. We’ve talked to him a little bit about that. He’s pretty confident and composed with the puck. He’s made some nice plays since he’s been here.”

Fourth rounder (113th overall) in the most-recent draft. I haven’t seen him since preseason and I liked him during that time. Cool name too.
