Questionable Play From New York Rangers Top Prospect May Have Resulted In The End Of His Time In The NHL

Following the Rangers game on Sunday night, the made the decision to recall prospect Brennan Othmann from the Hartford Wolf pack of the American Hockey League to serve as Matt Rempe's replacement after he sustained an upper-body injury on Thursday night.

However, Othmann might have just ruined his opportunity with the Rangers after he made a very questionable play on Sunday night against the Flames, as the Rangers took a brutal 5-1 loss to a team that is currently in last place of the NHL Standings.

Following the Rangers opening-night game back on October 7th, the organization made the ultimate decision to cut Othmann from Training Camp, making it his fifth failed attempt to make the teams opening-night roster since he was drafted.

While doing so, it was clear to the Rangers that Othmann is lacking confidence while playing at the NHL level, so the next best thing to do was to send him down to the AHL in hopes that things would change before getting another shot at playing in the NHL.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like has changed any especially given his very questionable play on Sunday, where he had a clear lane to the Flames net to either pull off a move and get a shot off, or even just take the shot from where he was. However, instead Othmann made an incomplete pass to Noah Laba in front of the net.

Certainly a very questionable thing to do, especially when he knows that his name is involved in trade rumors, along with the fact that he wants to be playing at the NHL level.
