Prospect Info: Filip Chytil (Pick #21 2017)

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
I'd like to wait more than one game. Part of the equation is that we need another forward. Yeah, we get Fast back after the 9 games, maybe sooner, but that still puts someone like Carey as our 12th forward, so we don't have any depth.

And take Desharnais off the PP immediately, and give Chytil his spot. So f***ing dumb. If Chytil's gonna stick, its gonna be with PP time and sheltered minutes. Gotta try him out in a role that fits his game, we don't need to reward guys who came here to play 4th line roles.

I'm not sure he stays for very long, need to put him in situations to be successful but 5v5 he wasn't able to hang on to pucks and make those smart plays he did in the preseason. I'd keep him a few more games but send him back as soon you they think of scratching him.

He didn't get enough icetime IMO to draw any huge conclusions, he never had a chance to settle in. Part of that was the special teams parade but AV needs to either find a way to use him consistently or they should send him back.

If nothing else, it gives them an extended look at him and larger, first-hand sample size with which to measure his progress.

This kid isn't just 18, he's barely 18. Up until about three weeks ago, he was seen as being about two years away. The fact that we're even seeing him in NHL action is rather impressive.
 
You cant judge many players on the limited role he had last night. I need to wait and see more of him.
 
I can't imagine how nervous he was last night. I'm not worried.

He played 6plus minutes in a game filled with special teams play and he wasn't playing special teams. For **** sake give the kid a few more games before the criticism starts en mass.

Even worse than the minutes were how spread out the minutes were for the rookie. I would remove Nash from his line and play him a regular 12-14 minutes to see what we have. Maybe JT-Chytil-Zooks?

The special teams cannot be an excuse. You have to get the kid more ice time. 7:40 is just ridiculous.

They sure as hell can. The game gets choppy because of all the penalties. The kid should not be asked to pk/pp in his first game. So he sits the bench for a bit, he doesn't have to play a set amount every game for his development. It's not going to hurt him sitting and watching for long stretches in a singular game that is being interrupted by frequent penalties.

AV gonna AV but i can understand him not playing as much.

hes an 18 yr old rook in his first game and we are trying to win a game.

let the vets play more.
 
Looking at the spreadsheet, he had the worst FF% and was primarily matched up against Landeskog line. Was he as bad as the stat sheet indicated?
 
Well he wasn't very good in his six or whatever minutes, I've clearly seen enough. Brack to Prague with him!

:sarcasm:

I honestly can't say yes or no, just that in his limited play he didn't do a thing, good or bad. He was non-descript. It was just one game and he was probably nervous as hell.
 
I think he was clearly nervous in the beginning and got more comfortable as the game moved along but unfortunately there was no time for him to translate it into a better play. Anyway, staying at that level with only a marginal improvement will get him a ticket home but he still will get a couple of chances a to write this game off because of the nerves.
 
IMO he should’ve been on PP2 instead of David dejonnaise.. but if the fo is committed to only a 9 game stint with no chance of him sticking let DD try to develop chemistry
