Why would you say Chytil doesn't deserve more ice time? He's fast and hard on the puck and always puts in effort. They only thing that aren't coming are the points, but it's not because he's not trying or playing poorly. He definitely should get a shot on the top 6 this game.

Both horrified and excited to see Pettersson play against the Rangers. Don't forget that Eriksson knows Henrik better than any other player in the NHL, so I expect him to score one or at least get a primary assist.
 
Chytil and McLeod are the modern interpretation of Bloodsport the movie. Chytil is Van Damme's character and McLord is the Jackson character played by legendary Donald Gibb, who was Ogre in Revenge of the Nerds.

Spooner replacing Buch bothers me more than Chytil on the 4th line

Spooner has been AWOL all season, but somehow still, Quinnie regards him to be some kind of an "ace in the hole". More like a deuce, I say. Technically speaking, he IS, more than a decent offensive player, its just that he HASN'T BEEN AT ALL THIS SEASON, not even close. I suppose, Spooner or later.......I mean sooner, just seems Quinnie is banking on something (getting him going?), but simply doesn't seem at all justified. You can literally make a case that McLousy, deserves playing on 1st >Spooner does. At least he wreaks some havoc and is always engaged. Can't say the same for Spoons.

Playing Spooner on the 1st, really engages the theory of Quinnie playing a "Boston boy favorite" over someone more deserved. So whatever hot seat that Quinnie is sitting himself in, is justly deserved. Imho. Yet another Tanner comparison.
 
One more "possible perspective" in regard to Chytil. Is it possible, in any way that coach is concentrating on improving Chytil's defensive play at center, playing on a 4th line with "less talented" wingers? Once upon a time, I know for a fact Hayes, was subjected to 4th line duties, and look where he is now. A much more established 200 ft player. Even Zbad, I could almost swear he was on 4th line, and rather obscure in a 4th center role when with Ottawa......and ALWAYS scored against us or did some damage. Why do I know that? Because I remember wishing he were on the Rangers.....way back when.

So, once again I ask.......isnt this at all possible?

Exactly what I said last GDT. Rushing Chytil onto the 1st/2nd line wouldn’t be good to his development. I think Quinn’s just easing him in and letting him learn to do more on his own/letting him work on his all around game. Quinn knows Chytil is good

Also, Spooner on the 1st line isn’t confirmed tonight

Likely what it is. Even when Hayes is traded, it will likely be Andersson or Howden at 2C.

If Chytil was drafted in the 4th round nobody would care what his minutes were. Let him feel his way into the league, who knows maybe he is comfortable doing this for now. He will work his way up the lineup as the year goes on, or he will end up in Hartford, either way they are working with him and he is getting NHL coaching when he is a t practice so that's a benefit.

A 4th round pick making the nhl in his D+2 year would be really impressive. But Chytil has played better then 4th line minuets its ridiculous

One of the best, most level headed posts I’ve read on here! Those advocating for Chytil to just be thrown into major minutes in the NHL just reveal how clueless they are with regards to player development. Players develop at their time line, not because they are played 20 minutes a game against far superior talent than they currently have. Putting a player in a situation they can’t handle is o let going to erode that players confidence.

The only thing getting drafted in the first round guarantees you( outside of a top 5 pick, who virtually always pan out) is you will get a chance in the NHL. By no means is it a given Chytil will ever be anything beyond a very skilled player.

That being said, Spooner in the first line makes no sense. I do, however think it reflects poorly on Chytil if he can’t beat out Spooner for better minutes. I think Spooner gets the look by process of elimination, sadly.

Man, seats are mad cheap for tonight. Was tempted to go but have to wake up really early tomorrow.
 
Chytil will get more opportunities once he starts to produce even a bit more against other teams bottom lines. He’s being protected - a teenager playing in the NHL.

The kid isn't Mario Lemieux. He can't do it all by himself. How the heck can he produce with the people he's on ice with? If you're going to chain him to the wonder twins, at least give him power play time or something.
