Glad to see it's official

 

[Levitate]

Cool. Not surprising but almost certainly with the plan to slide it for however long they can

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Nice. Lock 'em both up.

Interesting to see him signing in his Rangers' practice gear. Was the photo posed in advance? Are they still doing on-ice training somewhere for some reason?

 

[Edge]

Very interested to see how he does this upcoming season.

I'm thinking three years on the ETA and maybe playing the wing. But this season will go a long way to addressing some of those uncertainties.

 

[Edge]

Keep in mind, Chytil is almost a year younger than Andersson.

3 years seems reasonable unless he takes some big strides. More interesting will be where he plays next season.

 

[Alluckks]

Lias is the very near future and Chytil was the multi-year development. It is a very obvious plan lol

That said, I like signing him early. Some teams wait a year before giving the ELC.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Oh ok, this solves our center issues. Mika Andersson Chytil Hayes.

Super excited about this kid.

Super excited about this kid.

You mean

Nieves
Andersson
Chytil
Hayes.

Mika's going to have to get traded in a few years or will be flanking Nieves on the wing with Chara

 

[Edge]

Yes, Nieves.

Clearly the key to all this.

 

[Zats Muccarello]

Why sign him so early?

 

[EpicDing]

Why sign him so early?

Why not? Gives him a good confidence boost and it slides for 2 years.

Do we need for Jagr to retire before we start call Chytil "the next Jagr"?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Chyti Chyti Bang Bang

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Tshebrak bre!!!

 

[nyr2k2]

Why sign him so early?

We now have direct control over where he plays, and his contract slides.

 

[Leetch66]

Who holds his junior rights ? Ever any chance he plays in NA in Canadian Major Junior league ?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

North Bay Battalion.

Word is it will be either the AHL or back in the Czech league for him next year. I prefer the latter.

 

[Thirty One]

Do we need for Jagr to retire before we start call Chytil "the next Jagr"?

What if Chytil retires first?

 

[kovazub94]

What if Chytil retires first?

Then there will be a new The Great one! (twenty years from now)

 

[nyr2k2]

Who holds his junior rights ? Ever any chance he plays in NA in Canadian Major Junior league ?

The OHL's Battalion, I believe. He was playing in a professional league last season against men, so it seems unlikely he'd step back into competing strictly against teenagers. Seems like it's probably AHL or back to the Extraliga for him.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

3C this year right guys????

Whats the point of having a prospect if you don't rush them to the NHL.

 

[eco's bones]

Great to have them both signed and I don't think it's going to more than a couple years before they're both in the Rangers lineup. These signings show both players are committed.
