4-3 Final, Othmann 2nd star (goalie was 1st).
Flint now up 3-2. Othmann one win away from the finals.
Othmann 3rd in points in the playoffs, 9G/14A/23P in 17 games.
Schneider was eligible to play in the AHL and spent part of the year there before being called up. Othmann has to go back to the OHL if he isn't in the NHL next year.Othmann will be in the NHL next year. They will fast track him, like Schneider

Maybe he gets up to 9 games, but I don't think he'll stick. If anything, I think Cuylle will have a better shot of being on the roster at the end of the year.
I assume we're going to sign Vierling, no?

Not only logjam at center but six new forwards going to Hartford next year, Henrikkson, Kordzak, Edstrom, Rempe, Cuylle, Trevigno. You can't just have rookies and first and second year forwards on your team. And if the Rangers sign him he ties up a contract slot for 3 years. I think the Rangers would have signed him if he had a good season but nyr2k2 has continuously called his season mediocre and underwhelming.I doubt it. There's already a logjam at center in Hartford with Brodzinski, Khodorenko, Henriksson, Korczak, Edström, Rempe, Rydahl and possibly Richards who is RFA. Some of them can be moved to the wing but still.
CBA question: if Vierling were signed to AHL deal, would he still be eligible to be (re)drafted?

Yup, and outside of Brodzinski they have all of 1.5 seasons of professional NA experience between them (all courtesy of Khodorenko who himself barely got himself to the AHL depth level and not much more). Everyone is a question mark, not a single 1st round pedigree among the group. I’d bet there’ll be 2 experienced signings at C forward for HWP.That's not a log-jam.

I think they are bringing Rydahl over to be the NYR 4C. If he doesn’t make the team and isn’t first call up I wont be surprised if he just goes back to Sweden.Khodorenko is just okay, I wouldn't let him block anyone.
Henriksson, who knows? He could play well or he could be a big nothing. Also, while the team probably sees him as a center, he has spent the past few years primarily playing wing for Frolunda, so he can do that, too.
Korczak, IDK, he could just as easily be ECHL-level as AHL-level. His offense was underwhelming IMO and he's not very strong.
Rempe is...a guy who is tall. He was 52% on face-offs at age 19 in the WHL which is nothing special, and he only has 6 assists all season, so I'm not sure he sees much time at center. Seems better-suited to wing, if you ask me.
I don't know if they bring Richards back. He showed a lot of positive things in the watered-down, short AHL season, but then last year under normal conditions he was JAG.
Rydahl is interesting.
Vierling, I wouldn't really put him above a Korczak or Henriksson, but he'd at least be interesting to follow for a year or two to see if he can step it up. I don't really think he can but I don't see much to lose, either.
That's possible, but he's on a one-way contract and will make the same in the NHL or AHL. I do think you're right that they hope he makes the NHL team, but I also think there's a good chance he sticks around for the year even if he doesn't make it at first.I think they are bringing Rydahl over to be the NYR 4C.

Yeah. Saw that one way contract as the NYR telling him “we are so confident you’ll make it that we will pay you an NHL salary even if you don’t.” You’re right though, he might just play in the A for the year if he doesn’t make it.That's possible, but he's on a one-way contract and will make the same in the NHL or AHL.

Yeah, depending on what they do with the bottom six, there may not be immediate space for him. And, he may need some time to acclimate. Hopefully if he doesn't make it immediately he'll at least be willing to stick around long enough for an opportunity to present itself.Yeah.

John Gilmour 2.0-18 worst on the team. Yikes. so he is an offensive dman that if not scoring is pretty useless
