Yeah, Othmann may get a look in Hartford (AHL), as a loan, at the end of his OHL season but don't see him jumping to the NHL for the postseason.
Othmann is just 19 so he wont be eligible to play full time in the AHL next year either, so he's likely headed back to the OHL for another year or maybe Switzerland, hope they don't rush him to the NHL, that has not worked out at the forward position as of yet for the Rangers over the last 5 years.
Kreider was 20 turning 21 when he got signed & added to that 2012 postseason run after his BC season ended & was a more developed product than Othmann is now.
Gallant's a coach that is more comfortable with his veterans, especially in a playoff environment, id also expect more Nemeth/Braun for that same reason on the 3rd pair.
Doubt we see Kravtsov especially if Traktor keeps winning in the postseason but maybe .... they are down 2-1 in their semi-final playoff series.
