Former New York Rangers first-round pick Brennan Othmann just hasn't been able to seize an opportunity to break through with the big club. After being selected with the 16th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the left-shot forward has only managed to get in 25 games total with the Blueshirts, 22 of them last season. He failed to break camp with the team again this fall. Now, Othmann’s name is “gaining traction” among other NHL teams, per i nsider Elliotte Friedman. He is reporting that the Rangers ar...

Trust the process—even when it hurts. The Rangers’ latest loss to Toronto was full of good signs, bad luck, and one very overdue goal.
While it has lagged their improvement in minor league pitching development in recent years, the position player side of the Mets’ organization really bloomed in 2025.
