Hey guys, how good of a prospect is Othmann excluding goalies and Lafreniere/Kakko?

Roughly the same as the last time you asked what his ceiling was a month or so back

Not the same question but touche.

I think hes a really good prospect but nowhere near the likes of Laf and Kakko. Laf and Kakko haven’t lived up to it yet but when they were both considered the type of prospects who would become franchise cornerstones. Othmann is probably a level or two below that. If you check most NHL affiliated prospect rankings he’s usually somewhere in the 20s to 30s which is about right, below all the elite talents but still one of the better prospects in hockey.

Can relate to you both. Had fractured vertebrae in a massive car accident back in 1986 where I broke 27 bones... (head on collision with a lumber truck that by accident ventured onto my side of the road). 6 times I have had kidney stones and they are really really painful. Open heart double bypass surgery in 2016 compounded with complicated lung surgery right after that. But nothing hurt me as much as the heartbreak as when I found out my (ex)wife was banging two of my better friends. And that Beauty Queen babe that suddenly dumped me and chose my other bad boy buddy cuz I was "too nice". It all led somewhere else - for better or worse. We live. We learn. We hurt. We love. We suffer. We heal... and we stubbornly move forward until one day we drop.

Let me know when your biography is available. I might even splurge and go for the hardcover.

Ollas stopped 18/19 last night for the W. He has 6 starts to Zach Borgiel's 2, so it looks like he's definitely Merrimack's #1 unless he falters.

 

[nyr2k2]

Leevi Aaltonen was back from an extended injury and had an assist in 13+ minutes of play. Kalle Vaisanen was scoreless in his game.

Oliver Tarnstrom played wing for his Allsvenskan team and didn't have a point.

Sykora is in the third and without a point.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Barbashev scored its a powerplay goal. I hope he becomes as good as his brother in St.Louis

 

[nyr2k2]

Brett Berard has scored his first two of the season.

[Clark Kellogg]

Tough way to make a living.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Has Othmann not had a point in a while or something?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Flint lost 3-1 tonight in what was only Othmann's 2nd game this season where he didn't record a point.

He has 23 points in 14 games now.

How long until Laba become the "late round pick we put all our hopes and dreams in"?

How long until Laba become the "late round pick we put all our hopes and dreams in"?

I want to see better consistency and a larger sample size before I get too excited.

He was passed over in his first draft, though he was on the young side for that draft. He has 10 points in 9 games, but all 10 points have come in 4 games.

Great start though. Let's see where he is in a couple months.

How is his skating?

 

[nyr2k2]

How is his skating?

Pretty good. Not elite or anything but he gets around quite well.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Hopefully at least a few of Laba, Barbashev, Grubbe, McDonnell-Barker, Sykora, Berard, Cullye, Othmann make it and help solidify out bottom six.

Berard, Cuylle and/or Othmann could be ready as early as next season, but for the rest, I think it will be a few years.

Makes sense. Either way I'm hoping we will see the end of black holes in the bottom of our lineup.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I think Berard is going to need at least a year in the AHL. The other 2 could be on the team next season for sure.

The potential for a good bottom six is there.

 

[pld459666]

the Rangers better not trade him for Kane

I wouldn't do it one for one.

Kane will NOT be the difference in this team winning this year
