2021 NHL Draft: Carson Lambos is another defenseman in this draft

CARSON LAMBOS.

I cannot get over this teenaged defenseman’s name. It sticks in my brain like a parasite in your favorite science-fiction movie, creeping and crawling around ever since I came across his name in an early mock draft last year.

The lefty for the WHL’s Winnipeg Ice was slated to go as early as a top-10 pick, but with the league opening back up and more names riding the super hype wave early in this draft, his has slipped down the list in a more realistic place for the sizeable defender.

Position: Defenseman

Date of Birth: January 14, 2003

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 165 lbs

Lambos is just one of those guys that plays a steady game, not joining the rush often as an attacker from the back, but would rather make the more dependable outlet pass or play from the point.
