Prospect Info: At 16th Overall the Rangers Select Brennan Othmann

[EpicDing]

This is totally misleading. Only looks at point production. He's a 17 year old playing against men.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Again if you're going to post this garbage, his model also has Lundell being better than Lafreniere.

This is the first time I'm posting this guy?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Horrible.

I thought it was you in the other thread.

Point still stands. Model is trash.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

You take BPA, not positions. A good player or someone he's replacing can be used to acquire the position you want. Worse players are a waste.

I keep hearing that over the last 3 years, yet we have yet to use those BPAs to acquire a single center.

Everyone has their opinions. You look at 15 sites or rankings and 14 have the guy right in this range, and then you find one guy who thinks the player is shit.

IIRC, last year Elite Prospects had Cuylle (who I really like) on their Do Not Draft list. Like I said, there's always an outlet that's randomly way down on a guy.

 

[xsniper11x]

Seems like a well rounded enough player that has enough tools to carve out a career, even if a bottom sixer.

We have 5 picks in Rds 3 and 4 in a draft that’s one of the biggest crapshoots we’ve seen. We’ll have multiple opportunities to swing for the fences for boom/bust types.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Value is fine, player is fine, but would have preferred a few other options. Just remember last year though when everyone freaked out over Schneider, and looked how that turned out.

Lol, that hasn't turned out anything yet.

Patrick Bacon must actually be our old friend @Beacon, who I pejoratively called Bacon.

 

[RGY]

This kid is probably a fine player. Pick should have been a center.

Let’s see how free agency goes.

I used to edit his username to Bacon when replying to his posts and he got very mad about it one time.

You have no idea how happy this makes me.

 

[Polar Bear]

You’re going to argue that Schneider didn’t make tremendous strides in his D+1 year?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

He models his game after Tkachuk so that’s bound to make people giddy

Brennan Othmann: 2021 NHL Draft Prospect Profile; Flint’s and Olten’s Tenacious Winger

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

I was expecting Wallstedt, Lucius, or Svechkov.

I don't hate the pick, but I'm not in love with it either. It feels more like identifying a weakness (grit, toughness, tough to play against) than BPA. If they truly think he's BPA then I'm fine with it regardless of position.

Wallstedt is who I would have personally gone with, ugh.. I can't believe he was still on the board.

 

[Crease]

You hope he develops into a solid complimentary player / good soldier during Lafreniere’s prime. He apparently found another gear during the medal round at U-18s and during the Swiss League playoffs. So that’s promising.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

You’re going to argue that Schneider didn’t make tremendous strides in his D+1 year?

I'm arguing its way too early to call the pick a success when the player hasn't played a game for the orgsnization yet.

LW Brennan Othmann - Flint Firebirds, OHL (2021, 16th, NYR)

As you can read here, he also scored 10 in his first 12 after turning pro despite being 13th forward for 2 games I believe. He then went cold as the entire team and never really put it together again until the playoffs when he was fantastic again.

He's crazy about hockey and getting better and I think he just put too much pressure on himself, was trying a bit too hard. His decision making also wasn't always ideal but I think that will come eventually. It was much better again during the playoffs and later at the WJC18. He didn't score nearly as much as he should have over the entire season but he had very good stretches where he proved that he can score vs good competition and, most importantly, he was at his best in big games during playoffs and at the WJC18. Also, even when not scoring, he's still effective as a hitter and agitator. He was drawing a lot of penalties all season long.

 

[Kords]

If ever there was ever a draft to disregard graphs for, it's this covid kid draft.

Kid looks fine to me, who knows though.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I posted this in the previous thread. Some context behind his production

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Not pissed, would have been pissed if we took the goalie.

 

[patnyrnyg]

Do we ever just pick someone that were supposed to ? Wtf

Edit: I don’t really know anything about this kid. Just every year when we draft it’s never the kids they talk about all night.

You mean like Kakko and Lafreniere? Nah, Rangers never do that.

 

[Hinterland]

Well, again. He scored 10 in his first 12 so it didn't take him long
Then kinda lost his way until playoff time if that's what's meant here.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Kid is gonna be Matthew Tkachuk lite in a few years and people are going to love him. Book it.
