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

[Top cheese Gaz]

Really thought he would have made the team this year.

I got the feeling that he will be trade against a loan player at the TDL.

He has 1 year of pro experience. Patience.

He has 1 AHL season under his belt, is 21, and is one of NYR's like top 3 prospects. I doubt they're off-loading him for a rental.

He still may. Its a long season. Who would you have him replace?

I know there's some discourse about how he should have made the team at this point because Wyatt Johnston is an NHLer. But is that a fair comparison? I think it would be fairer to look at the guys drafted in the same range rather than focusing on the anomaly.

17 - Zachary Boduc: AHL
18 - Chaz Lucius: AHL
19 - Fyodor Svechkov: IR
21 - Fabian Lysell: AHL
22 - Xavier Bougault: AHL
23 - Wyatt Johnston: NHL
24 - Mackie Samoskevich: NHL
27 - Zachary L'Heureux: AHL
28 - Oskar Olausson: AHL
29 - Chase Stillman: AHL
30 - Zach Dean: AHL

Does Othmann have to be better?

Yes

Did we expect more?

Yes

Should we panic about him not making the team?

Absolutely not.

The overwhelming majority of forwards drafted after him in the first round also go back to the AHL. It kinda puts things into perspective, rather than focusing on the outlier and being outraged that our pick isn't an outlier as well.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

At least we didn't take Tyler Boucher.

 

[RangersFan1994]

At least we didn't take Tyler Boucher.

And at least they didn't take Lucius, Xavier Bourgault, Carson Lambos, etc. Some players take longer than others to develop.

It's wild that ESPN has ANOTHER Rempe article. That's like 4 this offseason IIRC. There was one about his skating. One about training with Laraque. The rookie event. And now this. Kid gets more coverage than the #1OA players.

It is over the top. Total Cult Following. Sean Avery says hello.

Lol, I've clearly posted in the wrong thread.
