Brennan Othmann a signé un contrat de 3 ans d'une valeur de 4 125 000 $ avec les Rangers de New York, le 12 août 2021. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 863 333 $.
Othmann's gonna have a tough time to make his mark in NY since they already have Laf and Panarin on the LW. Even if he switched over to RW he'd still be playing behind Kakko and Kravtsov. I can really only see a 3rd liner at best in Othmann with this Rangers squad.
Bad pick for the Rangers considering Lucius fell to them and Svechkov was also still there.
Lucius or Svech would’ve been great for them, but they decided they didn’t quite have enough left wingers 😂
I'd say he'd make an excellent Kreider replacement on the 3rd line but we have Kreider for the long haul because he's on an immoveable contract 🙃 so far I'm really unhappy with the Drury era lol. In an alternate universe Tom Wilson just sat that one game out, we kept Buch, drafted Lucius, and still have Gorton and JD 😩
It’ll be interesting to see where we put him. I still think he’s at least 2-3 years away but he has a killer one-timer. I still would rather Svechkov but 🤷♂️. Hopefully he proves everyone wrong. We felt the same way when Kravtsov was drafted (Off the board pick, other guys available, etc).
It just feels like they had no intention to draft with this pick (Trade it for Eichel or something) yet nothing happened so they were stuck with a pick and didn't know what to do with it. Good luck Ottyman!
