Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part III

[eco's bones]

'Chance he could join them' sounds a little encouraging. With him a hit that even causes something of a headache should be reason for precaution.

As for Leschyshyn he's been a hard player for me to like or at least when he's wearing a Rangers jersey. There must be something the Rangers like about him but not sure what it is. Anyway I expect him to be scratched unless someone else gets hurt.

 

[eco's bones]

I feel like it only a matter of time on his career. Being concussion prone and having subpar awareness on the ice is a bad combination. He's had more of these inadvertent collisions than anyone that I've seen.

Those two things often go together. More often than not it means a short career or at least unless the player can figure it out. Crosby had issues for a while though.....so did Jeff Skinner.

 

[Kupo]

Kid has zero awareness. It's not going to change.

 

[94leetch]

Mollie Walker doing nothing to dispel the assumption that it's concussion related in her latest article. I was hoping for something else being suggested.

theres zero details being given out. She's going to make that assumption for the same reason the rest of us are. Because its the most likely outcome and any report to the contrary would need some actual evidence from the team.

Understood, I was just hoping she might have something else to report. If it is concussion related he should hang'em up.

I’m not getting my hopes up or expecting anything, but hoping they’re being very delicate with the situation and over-testing/making 100% sure there is nothing there.

 

[lakeshirts37]

He’s done. If this isnt the hit, it’ll be one soon. Damn shame.

 

[Levitate]

Precisely why the rangers can’t trust him and should have moved on from him if they could have

 

[RangersFan1994]

Chytil should take the rest of the year off and think about his health. You know it'll be some mild hit that will give him a concussion like the ones Rick Nash took as a Ranger. Chytil concussion I think are mainly his fault for being fragile and putting himself in bad positions to get hit. He needs to be more aware on the ice. Sad to see.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

I truly don't see the point in him rejoining the team. It will be great for him once he gets healthy again; that should also be the time that he announces his retirement. His body just can't endure the bare minimum physicality required for the NHL. It's a miracle he's been able to play the sport at the level he has for as long as he has. Like people are saying, if it wasn't this hit it would just have been the next. And the next hit would come from someone that was actually trying to hit him. The collision with Miller was about as slow as a NHL level collision could have been, and Chytil is again sidelined for an undetermined amount of time with an undisclosed injury(?).

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

They do, but they don’t want them to collect dust. I’d rather have bo playing with the kids in Hartford vs sitting in Hartford and continue playing with Les

When he gets a game we can revisit this

 

[RangersFan1994]

Can the Rangers talk him into retiring for extra cap space? We seen Drury did some sneaky stuff as GM. Could he say if you retire before the deadline, Drury give some incentive to Chytil to make him think about his health??? If Chytil retired before the trade deadline, how would that effect the cap space?

I agree....as much as I loved watching him, it seemed to me that he was playing with reckless abandon: his confidence was sky high and he played as if no one could stop him (which was true). To be honest, I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to lay him out before now (maybe they just can't catch him). Typical Ranger crap that it would take one of his own to do it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

so painful, he attacks the defender, pulls a sweet spinorama and puts a dangerous backhand on net, the only forward on the team with the ability/balls to do it, then immediately gets knocked out by his moron teammate and is probably done for good. What a nightmare.

If he retires, his contract is nullified and the amount of the contract comes off the books.

Didn't Rick Nash get a concussion by throwing a hit and missing and gave himself a concussion, or was that Lindros? Rangers luck not shocking

Most likely Lindros.

 

[LOFIN]

It’s good that he hasn’t been totally ruled out of joining them, might not be a concussion.

He would be travelling then. Not flying with the team is a straight giveaway that we are talking about a concussion, they don't recommend flying if you have one.

Sigh


f***

Could the Rangers still pay him out without cap consequences? Ideally that's what would happen. Kid would have quite literally risked his life for the team.

Not necessarily. They're letting him hang back to see how he progresses. That tells me he exhibited concussion like symptoms but may not necessarily have been concussed.

It's a REAL thin line to walk but a medically diagnosable line nonetheless.

If he were to retire they could hire him after as a youth consultant or whatever

 

[Rempe73]

The problem is that he still doesn’t keep his head up as much as he’s supposed to. Very concerning to me. But other than that, he’s so good.

Yea I mean this is what I’ve been saying. I hold my breath every time he’s on the ice.

It’s such a f***ing shame. Without the injuries, he probably could become an elite 1C. He still can, since he works so hard on his game, but I don’t think his career will be long. Just so so sad for the player and the organization. Just more horrible luck for the Rangers.

Once he "retires" he forfeits whatever amount is left on the contract. The only way I can see something like this happening is if they LTIR him until contract expires.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So did he officially not fly with the Rangers?

Molly said he was not flying out with the team for further evaluation....she did go on to say that there's a chance he could fly out later.
