He just blasted the Rangers…
Darius Domingues breaks down Brennan Othmann, the former New York Rangers first round pick now with the Calgary Flames, telling the New York Post the Rangers never gave him a fair look, and the Rangers beat his team 3-1 the next night. Was he a bust, or one more top prospect the Rangers never gave a real chance?
Was Othmann right that the Rangers failed him, or was he just not good enough? Tell me in the comments.

Yeah he was very noticeable in last night game!………?
lol😂And the title of Mr .Irrelevant goes to ……
Sounds like sour grapes. He wasn’t a great player considering he was a first round pick. Maybe the teams lack of development skills played a role. But he’s not much better here.
The Rangers can’t develop players. This is the team that traded Alexei Kovalev lol
His game never advanced in any way he never got faster never got more finesse and his stats show his game is soft.
How much developmemt are teams really responsible for? You either know the game by the time you're drafted or you dont.
Othman was given chances , never stepped up. Perreault stepped up, Laba stepped up, Cuylle stepped up.
Didnt really know Othman even played last night, that says it all.
We move on….
I'm not generally the first one to defend this team's player development but come on, you got to earn your spot, you've got to work hard and sieze whatever opportunities you do get. This player did none of that here and it was time to give him a fresh start with a new team
Brennan Othmann played 5 pro years with the Rangers and managed to score 1 goal at the NHL level… do we have to say anymore?
Oh, he played last night? lol
No pressure to win? Who wants a player to say that? Ridiculous! Yes, the Rangers aren't that good at developing prospects, but Othmann isn't good at developing … period.
i really had high hopes for Othmann when he was drafted, Steven spoke so highly of him. Othmann never got his skating where it needed to be, just look at his nothing game last night.
Othmann showed last night he's not an NHL player. He's just another example of the Rangers poor scouting & drafting. You can't develop talent that isn't there.
Not everyone is tough enough to make it in a tough place like New York City. Now Othmann is playing in a nice friendly beautiful looking place in Calgary. If he can’t make it there either, clearly he’s just not an NHLer.
Guy won’t be in NHL much longer
Some people can't play in NYC. Need a change of scenery /developing or bad picking.
NYR deveopment and drafting programs definitely have had their issues, but Ohnmann was given many opportunities to make it in NY and he didn't cut it. He's done nothing at the NHL level in Calgary to show he belongs here as well so I don't know what he's running his mouth about. I don't think he cares to put in the on or off ice work needed to transition from the AHL level to the NHL level that 99% of players must do to carry their skils over.
Playing in NY is not for everyone, either you have the testicular fortitude or you don't. It's Veterans as well as Rookies, some people just can't hang in NY
The entitlement is acting like the Rangers owed him a top-six job when he never gave them a reason to keep him there. He got six starts with Panarin and Trocheck and finished with one goal in 42 games as a Ranger. Then he goes to Calgary, gets healthy-scratched six times, and calls his ice time in New York “egregious” before Calgary gives him 9:10 against his old team. Zero shots. Being picked 16th gets you in the door. What exactly did he do once he got through it that made either team think he deserved more?
Did he play last night
He was mediocre at best. Don’t miss him.
The Rangers are an average team, they were above average with Igor. They will be a little above 500 all season. Unless someone starts to have a really good season.
He had promise somewhere down the line he lost it.
Rangers are poor at developing talent, Othmann produced at every level he played
