GDT: 2021 NHL Draft

[Lindberg Cheese]

0-2 today, checking out, gonna watch Shtisel

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Not a good day to be a Ranger fan

 

[NYRKING30]

"His knickname is Huge Specimen. The Ranger front office loves him and didn't want to risk him going in the 5th round."

Lmao well done.

 

[mas0764]

I mean this team needs centers and there were 2 pretty good ones available. Very confusing

It’s not confusing at all. The teams owner and maybe it’s moron GM think in 2021 you win with grit not skill and that you don’t need any centers.

Can’t wait, Chris Kreider’s underwhelming career is exactly what I wanted more of.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I mean this about seals that Eichel is coming

How so?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

You can always move a center to wing its harder to do the opposite, 2 good centers sitting there ffs, no center depth in the org....unbelievable

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Rangers' first-round pick Brennan Othmann is a goal scorer and 'ultra-high achiever' in pursuit of his hockey dream

Anyone jumping off a ledge: Shut the f*** up and read. You guys are going to love his work ethic.

 

[Lays]

And to top off this awful day, STL bends us over first in the Buch trade and selects my favorite prospect in the draft

 

[I Eat Crow]

I don't hate it, but there were so many better players on the board. Othmann would have been there on a trade down into the 20's. Get another asset and still get your guy if he was it.

f***. Initial gut says the Rangers passed on at least 3 different players that will be much better.

I WANNA BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF CHRIS DRURY

My money is on Drury inside 30 seconds

 

[SRHRangers]

Everything I saw had Othmann getting picked in his area. So it’s not a reach.

We also weren't expecting Lucius, Wallstedt, and the Russian C to all be at 16 either.

I'm getting Idzik vibes with Drury.

 

[Fitzy]

Bolduc is a wing at the NHL level

 

[EdJovanovski]

Rangers' first-round pick Brennan Othmann is a goal scorer and 'ultra-high achiever' in pursuit of his hockey dream

How much does Drury pay you?

 

[Synergy27]

This pick is fine. It’s fine. We all preferred a C but whatever.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

It’s not confusing at all. The teams owner and maybe it’s moron GM think in 2021 you win with grit not skill and that you don’t need any centers.

Can’t wait, Chris Kreider’s underwhelming career is exactly what I wanted more of.

Chris Kreider was picked 19th. His career for that pick is phenomenal.

 

[n8]

watch Wallstadt fall into the Oilers laps

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Bolduc woulda been cool with the Rimouski connection

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Most of the guys listed as C won't play there.

Seriously this obsession with the position on this board is nauseating.

 

[Off Sides]

All cause the Rangers played the Islanders and Caps late last season instead of Philly and NJ.

 

[NYR]

He was a pro there. Give him credit.

He was a pro where?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

@Edge is there any news on why we selected Othmann over any of the available centers?

 

[Priorae]

This pick isn't a reach. Nice pick, moving on. I'm happy it wasn't a reach and not a goalie. Develop and move on.

 

[UnSandvich]

Do you know anything about Othmann or nah?

I do, as a matter of fact.

"If there’s a drawback to Othmann, it’s in terms of his skating. We won’t attempt to sugar coat it; Brennan has the worst skating mechanics out of any of the top end players featured in this class." - Hockey Prospect Black Book, 2021. Page 302, paragraph 3.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

You know this pick is something when Carp of all people (who’s clueless on prospects) took him for the Rangers in multiple mock drafts

 

[Machinehead]

Seems like he has decent upside.

By the time he cracks the roster there's a decent chance neither Panarin nor Kreider are even here.
