Rangers Trade Othmann to Flames

0:00Calgary flame stories, making news on March 7th. The New York Rangers traded forward, Brennan Othman, to the Calgary flames on Friday. The 23-year-old prospect struggled to stick in the NHL after being the team's first draft pick under General Manager Chris Jury. In 39 games over two seasons, he scored just one goal and two assists for three points total. Othman bounced between the Rangers and their American hockey league affiliate in Hartford. His play stayed inconsistent at both levels, limiting him to short-bottom sixth sense in New York. The team had high hopes, but he never found a steady role. Jury praised Othman as a hard-working kid who deserved a fresh start. He noted it was no one's fault, things didn't click. Rangers coach David Sullivan echoed that, saying they tried to help him adjust, but wished him the best in Calgary. In return, the Rangers picked up a prospect from Calgary. This fits their retooling plan laid out back in January. Othman becomes another young talent they've moved on from amid roster changes.
