Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part II

[NYRFAN218]

Just in terms of the team, I feel like him coming back during the regular season is a huge risk for the Rangers given their cap situation. Having him LTIR'd for the rest of the season allows them to pursue one of the bigger center options that could solidify 3C while having Chytil possibly back as an added bonus. If he comes back before the trade deadline somehow, they run the risk of not getting anybody at the deadline since they're operating with so little cap space as well as him possibly getting hurt again and having Nick Bonino as your 3C in the playoffs. This is different than the Kucherov's of the world where they're good to go and that's it. Chytil is an innocent looking hit away at any time from another concussion.

I'd love for him to come back but I really think it's in the teams best interest, as well as possibly his own, to kinda ride this out until the playoffs.

If he’s ready he’s ready. He’s not the first guy to get concussed. Playing Bonino as our 3C is already catching up to us. And it’s worse for Chytil’s health to come back in the playoffs after not playing for 6 months.

Can’t remember which podcast it was, I have a handful I rotate through at work but one said they expected him to be practicing with the time post all star break

Good info thanks...soon you will be a source

Lol no I take no credit whatsoever for this))
Just relaying something publically (if not widely) available

 

[Chytilmania]

No relation to the baseball player Lucas Duda. --Sam?

Or Paul Lo Duca.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He’s going to play again this year.

Eat your L, HFDocs.

Thank f***ing God. We need a 3C badly. Brod blows.

He does.

It also removes lavi’s excuse to not break up the bromance.

Filip “Aaron Rodgers” Chytil

 

[17futurecap]

Best acquisition the team can get at the deadline.

 

[n8]

Trained with his brother Libor Chytil who is a strength and conditioning (S&C) coach according to ESPN.

Sources: Rangers' injured Chytil returns to U.S.

Filip Chytil, who hasn't played for the Rangers since Nov. 2, has returned to New York after training in Czechia while recovering from a head injury, sources told ESPN.

[Shesterkybomb]

Just like getting a deadline player. Hopefully he can figure out how to avoid getting his bell rung again.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

He’s going to play again this year.

Eat your L, HFDocs.

If anyone would know the deal with Chytil it's Emily. Sorry @will1066

 

[WojtekWolski86]

I heard Emily Kaplan spoke to Fil in Czech and the sound of her voice instantly healed his brain.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Feb 5th return?

 

[JCProdigy]

I heard Emily Kaplan spoke to Fil in Czech and the sound of her voice instantly healed his brain.

I heard it was the lock of hair she sent him....

I can confirm.

 

[Levitate]

Hopefully some of this was to give him time to come back feeling sharp and ready to play rather than rushed back and taking 3 weeks to find his game again like has always happened in the past

 

[bhamill]

Interesting. It sounds like they worked on strengthening neck and jaw muscles that might make you more susceptible to concussion if they are weak.

He's been allowed to take his time it seems.

What Crosby did I think.. Made it stop for him.

This will also help because Rangers players love shooting pucks at fellow Rangers players. Puck will come at Chytil and break in half upon making contact with his jaw.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Chytil is at practice in a red no contact jersey. That is a positive sign because even the glare from the ice and lights could cause problems for someone with a concussion.

The best acquisition is Chytil. The team was rolling and playing the right way before he went down. Again, Chytil's absence has made people think this is a rebuilder because of how much they have had to overplay Bonino. Even if they swap Wheeler out for Berard or Edstrom, that's a win.

Chytil would certainly help. It'd likely knock Brodz back to the A which is where he should be. Having another line that could be an offensive threat would obviously be a good thing.

It doesn't solve the bromance, Wheeler, Bonino, Goodrow, our top 4 D pairings or Igor basically being a Devils level goalie. We also don't know what Chytil is going to look like when he returns. Is he going to require significant ramp up time? Is he going to be gun shy about getting dinged again? Is it only a matter of time before he gets dinged again?
