Calgary Flames Acquire Prospect Forward Brennan Othmann from New York Rangers The Calgary Flames have acquired forward Brennan Othmann from the New York Rangers in a trade finalized on Friday. According to reports from The Athletic, the Rangers received prospect Jacob Battaglia in exchange for Othmann. The deal marks a strategic move for both teams as they prepare for the remainder of the season and the upcoming trade deadline. Othmann, 23, has emerged as a key prospect for the Flames, having played 17 games for the Rangers this season and recorded a goal. His performance in the NHL has been complemented by strong play in the American Hockey League (AHL), where he has tallied eight goals and 16 points in 26 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack. The 6-foot winger is entering the final season of his three-year, entry-level contract, which carries a cap hit of $863,333. He is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Drafted 16th overall by the Rangers in 2021, Othmann has accumulated a goal and three points in 42 NHL games. His AHL career includes 41 goals and 85 points across 120 games, showcasing his offensive potential. The Pickering, Ont., native has also represented Canada internationally, earning gold medals at the World Juniors in 2022 and 2023. His combination of NHL experience and AHL production makes him a valuable addition to the Flames’ roster. The trade reflects the Flames’ efforts to bolster their depth and address specific needs. Othmann’s ability to contribute at both the NHL and AHL levels aligns with the team’s long-term goals. Meanwhile, the Rangers’ acquisition of Battaglia suggests a focus on developing younger talent while managing their cap space.#jacob_battaglia #new_york_rangers #calgary_flames #brennan_othmann #hartford_wolf_pack
