They aren’t that similar. Boucher is a pest with some skill. Othmann is a skill guy with some pest.

He had 2 assists last night but they took one away later on unfortunately. Among Rangers draft picks in their D+1 (age 18) season in the OHL/OMJHL, he ranks 3rd when adjusting for scoring era.

Do you just literally take average goals in 2021 and divide it by average goals in a given year to adjust it or look at the team's production? Either way seems like a very simplistic way to do it.

He compares himself to Kyle Connor. He's probably a little below that in terms of ceiling but stylistically it's the one player he tries to emulate.

No. What team has let the #1 overall pick play in the WJC when the player is already playing in the NHL?

No, that's not the reason. HockeyCanada didn't interview ANY of the US based OHL players. Their inability to cross the border complicated things.
With the OHL cancelled last season, there was limited time to scout OHL players anyway, not like the WHL where they played in 1 location in Canada (even the US teams).
It's just an unfortunate set of circumstances for the players in Flint, Saginaw and Erie.

Not at all lol. Lafreniere was a 1OA pick getting ready for training camp during last years tournament. As above, COVID complicated things, but Canada is also ridiculously deep, so Othmann not being on their team wasn't going to keep Hockey Canada up at night.

He wasn't already playing though the NHL season started after the WJC ended last year.

It was close enough though. Camps began in early January, and I believe players started skating at team facilities prior to that. Yes, he could have technically done both, but it wasn't worth the risk of injury. We saw what happened to Dach.
Regardless, it's a stretch to say that Hockey Canada was mad because the Rangers didn't let Laf go to the WJC, given that 1st overall picks rarely play in the tournament once drafted. It's an even bigger stretch to think that Hockey Canada would refuse to invite Othmann to the camp in order to stick it to the Rangers. Garand and Cuylle are both Ranger prospects and both made the team.

Considering some of Team Canada's snubs over the years, no Ranger fan should stay up at night over Team Canada's decision not to invite Othmann.

At the same time in their careers, they're pretty even.

D+1 seasons:
Kyle Connor (NCAA): 38 GP - 71 points (1.87 points/game)
Brennan Othmann (OHL): 23 GP - 36 points (1.57 points/game)
Connor was definitely ahead. He scored higher in a more difficult league.

And from what I heard, there was a lot of bad blood between the Laf camp and Team Canada/Hunters from the year before. So that call may have been partly Laf himself saying no thanks well ahead of time.

Kyle Connor's team: 4.76 goals per game
Brennan Othmann's team: 3.78 goals per game
Kyle Connor's team: 11 NHL draftees
Brennan Othmann's team: 2 NHL draftees
Othmann is carrying his team, and while Connor had a great season, he played on a much better team with NHL talent which cored a goal per game more.

No different than all the NCAA guys, and all the guys playing on American teams in the WHL, not sure that was an issue. They just never invited Othmann for whatever reason.

Scott Wheeler mentioned today that some people within hockey don’t like how he carries himself.
"Some people" in hockey are also horrible people themselves, so I'm not sure I really give two shits about opinions of random, unnamed individuals who don't like the way he carries himself. The list of highly talented guys that have had the cocky, arrogant, spoiled, etc. labels attached to them is huge and usually meaningless in the end.
I wonder if it's similar how Torts don't likes how Zegras plays. In that case there's nothing to worry about, but I really don't know the situation with Othman
