According to a report from hockey insider Elliotte Friedman, teams have an interest in Brennan Othmann.

After failing to make the Rangers out of training camp, the writing was on the wall. A former 2021 first round pick, Othmann looks like he’ll never get a chance in the Big Apple. Having been passed by Brett Berard, Noah Laba, and Gabe Perreault, it’s pretty clear that he needs a change of scenery.

Even with the Rangers struggling to score, Othmann remains at Hartford in the AHL. The Wolf Pack play their next game tomorrow night. In a 2-1 loss to Wilkes-Barre last Saturday, Othmann had a secondary assist on their only goal.

The question is, what is Othmann worth? If he’s drawing interest around the league, that means other teams still value him. But is it due to thinking the return won’t have to be much? That largely depends on what Rangers team president and general manager Chris Drury is seeking.

Once considered a good prospect due to strong performances for Canada in the World Junior Championships, the 22-year-old right wing has never scored a goal in 25 career NHL games. He recorded his first two assists in 22 contests last season.

In parts of two seasons spent in Hartford, Othmann has totaled 33 goals and 37 assists for 70 points over 95 games.

A move could be coming very soon.
