Ryan Reaves brings a 20-30pts to the table, + that physicalitty / presence on the ice.
Chytil brings the same production, but not toughness and hasn't shown progression offensively for 2 years now... so yah, come playoff time, Reaves >>>> Chytil
So you're a stat reader who doesn't even know how to read stats properly, is that it?
Two years ago, Chytil put up 23 points in 75 games and was a -22.
Last year, Chytil put up 23 points in 60 games (same points in 15 fewer games) and was a -7.
This year, Chytil has put up 21 points in 40 games (~same points in 30 fewer games than two years prior) and is a +9.
He doesn't play with Panarin, Zib, Buchnevich, or Strome. He's rarely on the ice with Fox. He's not on PP1 (in fact ALL of his points this season are ES). And he's still just 21 years old.
Even if you don't watch Rangers games, at least look at more of the stat line than just total points. Anyone with a brain cell can see consistent progression here for three years running, both offensively and defensively.
But no, I'm sure you're right that a 34 year old winger with a career high of 20 points in 80 games (a mark Chytil beat as an 19 year old), is FAR more valuable than a 21 year old center with the progression noted above whose
worst season exceeds Reaves's best season.
Based on your "total points and nothing else" evaluation system, Connor McDavid seems to be regressing (116, 97, and 93 points in his last three seasons). Maybe Edmonton should sell now while he still has ANY value, amiright?
