Depending on whether the Rangers move an LW in the off season they might try to shift Othmann to the RW. Almost all players are constantly working on their skating but I don't think that Brennan's is a huge issue. He can get by with where he is now. He's average size but strong and likes to play physical. His goal scoring dropped off a lot this past year from 50 to 29. I don't know whether I read a lot into that.....every season is different and he moved to a new team but his goal numbers were down even with Flint. He has an accurate shot and an outstanding release and an ability to change his stick blade angle when he shoots which creates deception.

He has attitude....that's a trait that pretty much every team is looking for. Sometimes that has to tone down a bit but better to have it (at least in most cases) than not.

So we are going to rush him along and move him to an uncomfortable position? Why don’t i think that is good option..

I think a better description is to harness the attitude. Not tone it down

Let's not neuter the kid before he plays an NHL game

Getting suspended for shooting the puck into the opponent's bench is a "tone it down" situation. I agree in general it's about harnessing his edge, but it's also okay to acknowledge he crosses the line at times and needs to cool it on that.

the goals stuff is prob a few different things...some boredom, some luck/lack of it, roles within team, cheating less etc...personally i don't read much into it. i don't know what happened in flint, but it sounded like there were serious issues in that locker room which won't help on the ice. had a lot of goals last year on passes up ice for breakaways and rushes last year i haven't seen almost any of this year. pbo doesn't look to have the offense running through him like flint did either...looks more by committee. he does have a high end shot / deceptive release.

a lot of attention goes to his shot/physicality/edge but i think what gets overlooked a lot, are his hockey iq and fundamentals. he almost always makes the right play on the puck, he's really good at going into puck battles and knowing how to use his physicality to gain leverage and win them, he's really good at controlling hard or errant passes and loose pucks on the fly, he avoids a lot of hits or bait them to then move the puck to someone with that open ice etc...those are things that really add up and matter a lot. people don't always appreciate them because they often don't end up in the box score, but they're often a big part of creating sequences that do.

If he's anything like a young Marchand, let him be who he is.

watching othmann there is a serious mismatch between these 2 teams on the back end. london much more mobile and better moving the puck out of their zone with crisp passes. pbo dmen all look like comparatively poor skaters and puck movers...getting bogged down and just whacking pucks up the boards.

othmann hasn't done much, nothing poor, taken a few decent shots, but not driving creating much offense. pbo having trouble gaining any possession in the london end...and as i'm typing off a kill othmann makes a beautiful pass to tee up an empty net
