F Filip Chytil (2017, 21st, NYR)

[Irishguy42]

No points last night, though he almost had an assist on a Cracknell goal (goal ended up being unassisted) due to his great play. Had 1 SOG and was a +2 even in a 7-3 loss. Was actually not on the ice for a goal against last night, which is interesting to see.

 

[Irishguy42]

Not great. Hard to judge severity of injury though. Awkward place to get hit into.

Hope he's ok...

 

[BKarchitect]

Hope he's ok...can we please see him in the NHL again soon? Teenagers aren't supposed to walk over the AHL like he is.

 

[Irishguy42]

No update on how he is. Wolf Pack is awful in giving injury updates. Or anything useful in general.

how awful are those jerseys on the Wolf Pack. Cmon man! gross

Was looking in the WJC forum, and it looks like Chytil will be healthy for camp tomorrow.

I guess he has been good for several days now, and the Rangers have had him just work out off ice with the camp being so close, and not risk another in-game injury. Wolf Pack media has shown him walking around and doing signings at games from this weekend, so it seems like he is in fact doing well.

Really excited to see what him, Necas, and Zadina do for that CZE team.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 in his first WJC game.

 

[BomaLightDevils]

He looks good, great prospect.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

1+1 today. 4 points, 2+2 after 3 games.

He keeps producing, but imo he has been slighty dissapointg so far. Great in the first game, faded a bit in the 2nd and today against Belarus he didn't do much outside the points.. Although truth is I barely saw him on the ice, probably didn't play as much. Also, unlike Necas, he has no Zadina on his wing, so I will give him that. (Although Zachar has been pretty good so far)

Playing with a broken nose can impact your performance for a few games.

It sounds like an excuse but it sometimes looks like he either isn’t trying or is a bit off because how much he’s gotten hurt recently. Him and Necas have easily been the best Czech players though

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Two points, up to 15 in 20 AHL games.

Has 6 points his 7 post-WJC AHL games.

2A and 4 SOG tonight and named third star.

Has points in 4 of those 7 games, and 5 in the last 3, so the consistency seems to be coming, which is important for his development.

This my view of him:

He is a future top-line player that still needs a year in the AHL to learn the rougher sides of the game, work on sharpening his shot and stick-handling and putting on muscle.

He is lankier than Pasternak or Nylander - even though just as talented as them - so he will take more time to mature, but not a lot more: a single season is nothing.

Quite quickly, by age 20 during the 2019-2020 season I expect about 40 points per season and a jump to PPG by 2020 seems probable if not likely.

All-in-all, he is the 1st ine center that Ranger fans and organisation have been waiting for. No clear deficiencies but also not a superstar. A modern day Pat LaFontaine.

His play in all zones will improve as he grows stronger and becomes more resistant to heavy hits and scary stuff in the NA hockey.

The key is not to sacrifice his speed as he does so, because he is fast enough for a high-end NHL player but not a speed-demon.

Time under tension in the AHL will also eliminate the hesitations and dumb plays that occur time to time due to lack of experience.

A top 10 NHL prospect among those drafted by any team. High-end PPG talent without being an incredible superstar - ideal for the parity reflected in modern NHL standings and scoring tables.

I don't see a PPG talent but I can see a 1C who's solid at both ends and capable of 65 ish points a year. Chytil is a monster and is really underrated, people are looking too much into his "poor" WJC performance (4 points in 7 games) where he just came back from a bad injury and suffered like 3 more minor ones. I don't get how you can possibly rank Necas over him like a lot do. 18 points in 22 AHL games with 0 help, Hartford is a mess. He's an all around player with flash, it's hard to think of a comparable. Chytil is also 6'3/6'2 202 pounds. I really don't understand why he isn't rated higher by people
