He's been hurt all year, Othmann goes into the Bruins top 9 immediately when healthy and has a good 10 year career. This deal is theft and I don't want Frederic moved but I drive him to NY if there is any truth to this rumor.
BRENNAN OTHMANN LW
AGE: 21 H/W: 6-0/175
YR TEAM GP G A PTS PIM PPG
22-23 Fln-Pbo (OHL) 56 29 38 67 79 1.20
23-24 Hartford (AHL) 67 21 28 49 65 0.73
23-24 NY Rangers (NHL) 3 0 0 0 0 0.00
The Rangers have to be very happy with how Othmann’s first pro
season went. He was one of Hartford’s leading scorers and best players
right from puck drop last year and, as such, earned a cup of coffee
with the Rangers, too. Not only did he score, but his physical approach
and strong work away from the puck also transitioned seamlessly.
Based on his versatile skill set, it would appear a virtual lock that
Othmann becomes an NHL player in some capacity. Facing a bit of a
cap crunch, one has to wonder if New York is looking at Othmann as a
potential bottom six forward this season. He certainly looks ready and
capable. From an upside perspective, the range of outcomes is wide.
Othmann could settle into more of a complementary middle six role
or he could end up becoming a high end top six forward and point
producer. If he’s back in the AHL, look for him to inch closer to the
point per game mark.
Why don't you want to move Frederic? I would do so in a trice.
Some managers looking to add believe he can provide tenacity, truculence and scoring,
Which he can.
Unfortunately, not nearly enough and never on a regular basis.
Trent disappears for long periods, emerges to tantalize for a game or two, and then goes back to sleep.
It's no longer exasperating to me. At this point, he's been here long enough to show us who he is. This is who he is.
Before the game against TBL in which he avenged Mark Kastelic -- great fight, good on him for stepping up --
and added a goal (which I can't find at present), Frederic was a complete ghost for weeks prior.
I think he had, like, one goal in thirteen games or something like that. He isn't consistently physical enough (for my taste, anyway).
I suspect the only reason Boston didn't sit him during this stretch (and others) was that doing so would damage his trade value. He's on an expiring deal ($4.6 million), negotiations have apparently been non-existent, and resigning him would surely mean a hefty, market driven raise unlikely to tempt the appetite of Don Sweeney.
He's a goner. Good luck to him.
They should get something decent for him. Maybe even get back into the first round.
Edit: So take Lindgren back instead or take another deal-if there is one.
