GDT: 2021 NHL Draft

[Mr Clutch]

Now if we could just find a way to get pinelli, I'd be happy

 

[RGY]

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.

Fair point. I am glad they didnt take a goalie

 

[Priorae]

He was a pro where?

Gorton was a pro in answering that question.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

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.

Perfect

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

@Edge thoughts? guessing he was in the top 10?

 

[AirGut]

SO WHAT THE f*** ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW TO ADRESS OUR GLARING ISSUE DOWN THE MIDDLE?

 

[bubba5]

Well when Druty said there is no mandate for making the playoffs this year he really ment it.

 

[EpicDing]

This pick is perfectly fine. He was projected in the late teens/early 20s across the board.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Looks no bueno

 

[LORDE]

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.

Just like McIlrath!

 

[Doctyl]

Okay I think I’ve had enough of the toughness movement for a lifetime

 

[Priorae]

We can just relax now and make fun of this crew trying to figure out the last 15 picks.

 

[EpicDing]

SO WHAT THE f*** ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW TO ADRESS OUR GLARING ISSUE DOWN THE MIDDLE?

This pick wouldn't have addressed that unless we traded it.

 

[Machinehead]

Our need for a center doesn't factor in. In this draft, in this range, these are probably 4+ year projects.

 

[duhmetreE]

I guess it's gonna be Zibs-Chytil-Goodrow.

It'd be nice to have a center in the system. Still can trade back into the 1st with Strome... Svechkov please.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Perfect

Who the F is the "hockey prospect black book?"

Never heard of them

 

[rangers1314]

This pick isn’t a reach at all. You can wish they took another player, fair enough.

But this isn’t a reach. This isn’t Boucher.

 

[MrAlmost]

Based on what?

Honestly, only based on organizational depth. The player himself is actually pretty good and as was mentioned, plays a hard game so I won't try to argue that he is a bad player.

 

[UnSandvich]

Looks no bueno

Looks like a Drury f***ing special, is what it looks like.

 

[NYR]

Gorton was a pro in answering that question.

I don't get Gorton and Pro in the same sentence what so ever..

 

[NikC]

How much does Drury pay you?

double what JD and Gorton are paying you

 

[Hunter Gathers]

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

Svech has huge questions if he can ever be an offensive player.

Lucius and Bolduc are both wingers at the next level.

No other centers worth the pick.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

what a stupid f***ing pick

 

[SA16]

how do we do this EVERY year?

Do what? Take the guy 16th on McKenzies list at...pick 16? (or really 15). He went right where he was expected to go.

Some scouting quotes:

Othmann is a speedy winger with a full toolbox of offensive skill and burgeoning abilities to make creative and shifty plays in transition.

possesses a great shot,

He’s a strong puck-carrier who displays some fancy moves but keeps it simple with quick puck movement more frequently.

but should be more aggressive firing pucks on net when given a decent chance

He can put forth inconsistent effort on the backcheck but shows a nice active stick and defensive reads
