Othmann had an underwhelming campaign in the AHL last year. Had a good couple games to start the year but then was injured for a LONG time. Going to need to get his legs under him and prove something before he slots in above any other top 9 winger option.
Yeah Carrick. There's nothing wrong with Berard on the 4th line. But this all goes back to my point that they clearly don't see much in Othmann. You're not going to sacrifice moving Berard down to make room for your scoring winger who you took in the 1st round? Definitely concerning.
Them not thinking he’s ready enough to rearrange everything to fit isn’t the same as not seeing much in him. There’s no reason to call him up right now when he’s only had a handful of games since returning. Two new guys in the same lineup isn’t needed. He’ll get his chance.
