Player Discussion Filip Chytil

[duhmetreE]

The fact that he looked rough, got sent down..... he put his head down, got his heart rate where it needed to be and laughed at the barber when he brought out the clippers. I heard his banter is improving

Seriously, he's a pivotal piece to the puzzle

 

[True Blue]

Knoblauch touch has Chytil looking like a young Kopitar.

Let's keep things in perspective. I have loved what I seen, but let's give it more than a few games. Call me a jaded Rangers fan.

“I just think he’s doing the right things,” said Chris Kreider, who has played both games on Chytil’s left with Pavel Buchnevich on the right to make up the second line. “He’s doing the little things that lead to success. The details, playing good defense, and then that’s leading to his offense. I think that’s something that if he can consistently focus on it, then he’s going to have an impact on games, and coaches are going to be able to rely on him.”

Vs Ottawa he went to the net and would have had another goal.
The D just tipped the pass away.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

3 G 5 A in 6 games along with a +8. I think he is our 2C of the future. Can see a 30-30 guy if everything works out.

I see sample size is only a thing when it suits the narrative

He’s owned the walls and looks much more assertive.

Assertion is a big thing with Chytil.

I’ve said it for a few years now, but when Chytil imposes his will — uses his size/speed combination, creates room for himself, etc., his game really takes off.

If he can do that consistently, his frame (which isn’t close to fully mature) is going back off a lot of NHL players. That’s a key difference between the player he is in the AHL and the NHL right now, and him taking the next step would be a tremendous asset to this team.

Great game last night! Not just episodes.

He only got in trouble against speedy Wings when he overstayed on the ice, on a few such occasions - through no fault of his own.

He was an absolute horse last night. Never stopped skating gave the canes fits. Won so many battles. He’s barely 20. So it’s not like he could physically do this at this level until now but he just seems so locked on the puck just exactly how he looked in the A he’s brought it here and he’s doing it in all 3 zones. I thought he was our best defensive center last night frankly. He’s only going to get stronger as he fills out. I don’t know what you do to stop him at that point when he wants to hold on to the puck and make plays. I think eventually he should get some mins in front of the net on a pp unit maybe if CK is moved. I like him more there than on the wall.

again this kid is barely 20 years old. He’s only going to get bigger stronger and faster

 

[bl02]

Yep! Awesome. Good call. That was his goal

I agree if he can continue to use his frame as he has so far since he has been called up the floor for him is 2C. He already has the size just has to fill out a bit more and stay confident.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

His play off the puck has improved so much. He's dogged as hell on the forecheck and on those looks pucks in the zone, no flybys anymore.

 

[True Blue]

He’s only going to get bigger stronger and faster

If he remembers that he is actually big and fast, he can impose his will because as you say, he is only going to get bigger and faster. This may come as a shock to some but playing as a 19 year old against men in the best league in the world can be intimidating.

Let's hope he remembers his traits.

it’s a good point and I think he found some of that in Hartford with all the ice time in different situations. Think he learned a lot about himself in that time. He’s a confident kid. Always has been doesn’t come thru because of the language barrier but I think he’s gaining more and more confidence as he goes here. I mean fast forward two seasons and he’s barely turning 22 he’ll be a handful

 

[Maximus]

My two $$ teams like this scoring change.

Besides Chytil played so dang good the other night vs Canes, he rightfully deserved the goal!!

 

[haveandare]

His goal today through Stralman’s legs was absurd. He’s really good when he’s playing confident

 

[ecemleafs]

Its amazing that chytil only turned 20 about 9 weeks ago. So young and seems likes hes been around for a while.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yep! Awesome. Good call. That was his goal

f***in goal thief lol

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Very happy to read that they gave him that goal. But that move that Buchy made to make it happen was pretty awesome regardless.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I love Chytil striving for the 40+ G 0 A season.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hertl was almost a PPG player last year. Do you think Chytil has that sort of potential?

He has that potential.. if he reaches it is another story.

If he continues with his current play, his chances increase dramatically

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

New and improved Chytil is best Chytil.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Maybe being sent down was precisely what he needed. He's really having a great season so far.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Amazing how much more promising he is than the 7th pick of that draft.
