Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part III

[haohmaru]

If Chytil is out with concussion symptoms for decent term, then I think the organization and Chytil need to have a real sit down about his future. The last 2 (assuming this is one) documented concussions would have been from not much impact, which is pretty dangerous at the NHL level. Hoping it's something else here but I have my doubts. When a player like Chytil went through all that, I just think the organization would quickly shut that down if they knew it wasn't concussion related.

From an organizational perspective, the Rangers need to face the truth that they are one play away from losing a top 6/9 center every year and it’s happening every year. I feel bad for the guy but the Rangers need to move on and replace him.

Imagine the Rangers prioritizing the center position

What would you like them to have done differently?

We drafted 6 C in the last 4 drafts. Problem is we don't have a ton of draft capital and these players are drafted 3rd round or later. So when you're looking at top 6/9 potential from draft prospects, it's a tough roll to just fill on the fly. We could be going into this offseason with more available spots than we've had in a long time. How we address that or fill those spots will be interesting.

Throwing some 5th round darts at guys whose ceiling is 4C doesn’t count.

Chytil himself is the last 1st round center this team has drafted , last one with top 6 upside for sure, and that was 2017, which was a long ass time ago.
