New York Rangers To Reconnect With Familiar Trade Partner While Searching To Trade Former 1st-Round Pick

Earlier this month Elliotte Friedman and several others reported that the New York Rangers were gaining some interest in their offensive prospect, Brennan Othmann, despite how early it is in the 2025-26 season.

However, according to reports from Adam Gretz of Bleacher Report, the Rangers could turn to a familiar trade partner for a potential trade for Brennan Othmann. That familiar trade partner being the Vancouver Canucks, who the Rangers made a trade with for J.T. Miller just last season.

Recently the Canucks have been dealing with some unfortunate injuries as Nils Höglander is sidelined for the time being, and for the simple fact adding more depth to their offensive lines.

So according to the Gretz, the the New York Rangers would trade their former first-round draft pick (16th Overall in the 2021 NHL Draft), a player who has showed great production in the AHL with the Hartford Wolf Pack, for a return of two draft picks.

Something that could very well be possible. However, it was just revealed that the Rangers are looking to receive good AHL prospects in exchange for Brennan Othmann.

At this point it still remains unknown who the Rangers have received calls from regarding Brenna Othmann so anything is possible, but only time will tell.
