Well it's the story of why this franchise hasn't won a cup since 1994. And it is that.

Might as well get depressed and recap the last 30 years of drafting first round forwards, shall we?

1997: Stefan Cherneski #19, Highly touted junior player forced to retire due to a shattered knee injury before playing an NHL game
1998: Manny Malhotra #7, Compared to Adam Graves, bombs with Rangers over 4 seasons, traded and has respectable career. Tanguay selected at #12, Gagne #22
1999: Pavel Brendl #4, completely bombs but is traded for Lindros.
Jamie Lundmark #9. This wasn’t a great draft. . Lundmark bombed and had a pedestrian career, at best.

2003: Hugh Jessiman #12, busts out, plays in 2 NHL games 7 years after he is drafted. Dustin Brown selected next at #13. Parise, Getzlaf, Kesler, Richards & Perry amongst other stars subsequently drafted in the same round.
2004: Al Montoya (G) #6,
Lauri Korpikoski #19. Korpy plays one year with Rangers and is traded. Plays over 600 NHL games. Wasn’t a strong draft/1st round. Radulov, Zajac and Drew Stafford went amongst them.

I feel for Filip and he will be sorely missed this season. You have to shut him down for his own good.
However, Im not buying into the woe is us stuff. The show goes on and you cant dwell on draft picks that havent worked out. A lot of fanbases would trade places with us in a heartbeat.
The team needs a center, a bottom sixer with some grit and another defenseman. They can actually do this now with the LTIR space. Drury should be busy the next month

I'm honestly very surprised by this. The Rangers were extremely cautious with this injury and he was training at home for a month and supposedly made great progress. It's a real bummer for him and the team.

Or that there were people there, people that follow the team, and did not even see what happened at all? Not one person saw what proceeded it?
On top of all of that, this wasn't someone that has been in the lineup, it's someone that has been out for a long time that everyone wants updates on how he is progressing.
I hope he will be fine, but this sounds like a back to square one development. I hope it is not because not only is it a physical brain ailment, it can mentally ruin you. I wouldn't even think he suits up again this season after this. Do everything to get back to being a healthy person for a while and then see where it goes from there.

He has been on LTIR for a long time now. It's looking like he will be until at least the end of the season.

The irony of Gordie Clark’s most (and only) savvy first round pick having his Achilles be something unrelated to his ability to play hockey is not lost on me.

I mean again, I doubt he's been completely off hte ice and doing no skill drills at all until now...just weird and unfortunate timing
unless this is like, he feels fine today and goes back out there and feels fine tomorrow and this was all a one off thing, I can't see how this isn't a potential career ender for him and for the Rangers sake probably time to assume LTIR for the rest of the year and get a replacement

If this is related to the existing injury it’s not only unlikely that he plays again this season, if ever - it would really be comically irresponsible to allow him to return this season. I can’t see a scenario where he’s back this year. Take the full summer and assess around July/August. Kid will be talking like Muhammad Ali if he comes back and gets any kind of awkward contact.

And that's all going to cost draft picks and prospects. Do we really want to do that again?

I hope there is someone with sense at the NYR office looking out for this kid

Poor heets. What a bummer. Forget hockey, I hope he recovers fully and can lead a normal life. Brain injuries are no joke.

There's a chance this is Drury's plot to LTIR him until the playoffs. I usually don't indulge in conspiracy theories but this would be a good one.

I honestly was expecting this video to be where he falls. He didn't look too well right before he took the shot. Obviously I'm not speculating because I'm not a doctor. But I am enrolled in HF medical school.

It's a tricky situation. I'm not in favor of spending big for a rental. If we get someone with term, that can work, but what happens if Fil comes back next season? We might be better off just getting a couple cheap upgrades and hoping we get hot.
Given how they have handled the situation thus far, I'm confident they will do the right thing for him.
I suppose it's possible, but I can't imagine Chytil faking an injury set back and being okay with missing the rest of the season.
