There's one other he kinda likes...

I said "in the league"

Now you're just being cruel. LOL

 

[smoneil]

It looks like "my dog has its own Instagram account" was one of the criteria for being selected by Seattle.

...not that there's anything wrong with that...

I disagree with your disagreement.

So you think it couldn't have gone any worse? None of their players have even caught on fire.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Not those particular lyrics. Im sure people were scratching their heads.

I doubt it

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Imo people overvalue Chytil here. I like Chytil, i just don't think hes a top 6 center on a cup team. He's a solid 3c, and thats only if he can be more physical and be better at faceoffs.

Watching Francis yesterday... he looked like a guy that realizes how bad he just f***ed up and can't do anything about.

which is this is his ceiling its not bad, but there's no reason he shouldn't be available to get what they need.

The average salary with a full usage of the $81.500.000 cap roof is $3.704.000 using a 23 man roster. It is somewhat lower with a 23 man team.

Look at pretty much any player drafted outside of the top 5 who you think is better than Chytil. Then look at where they were as a 21 year old. That explains why people are valuing him more than you are.

he’s 21 years old.

[Shesterkybomb]

he’s 21 years old.

Yup he is.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Chytil can certainly get better, there's also a chance his best position actually is a winger where the Rangers have a glutton of them. Again, I dont envy Drury trying to decide who to keep and who not to. Trade them too early and they bust out you look bad, trade them too late and their value drops.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Yup he is.

you must be a lot younger if you’re drawing a conclusions on a 21 year old.

 

[bobbop]

I felt like Francis was playing checkers while everyone else was playing chess. He left a ton on the table.

You trade a prospect when their development begins to stall. Chytil has shown marked forward progress every year he's been here. This year alone, he improved his ppg, his +/-, his face-off percentage, and (based on the eye test) his vision/playmaking. Trading him now would be absolutely foolish in a vacuum, and absolutely insane in light of the fact that he's the only top-6 upside center in our entire system under the age of 25. We shouldn't need to re-learn the lesson of Marc Savard a second time.

 

[Crease]

He could be drawing conclusions about this upcoming season only, in which Chytil's age (and long-term potential) is fairly irrelevant.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Friedman mentioned alot of the same teams who like Eichel also like Reinhart and are in discussions with Buffalo for him

 

[Lion Hound]

The NYR Twitter bloggers are so full of shit.

“Been told this...”
“I know that....”
“on good authority we will see player A brought in as soon as...”

Even worse is there are so many people that buy into it

 

[AirGut]

Figured. Feel like Drury has his eyes glued on Eichel though

tell that to the Yankees and their prospects.. Its not as easy as that. At one point Miguel Andujar and Clint Frazier could have returned Geritt cole they passed on them, and now......

 

[rangers1314]

Friedman on The Instigators says there is a ton of interest in Sam Reinhart, some of the same teams that have interest in Eichel have interest in Reinhart.
