Top comment.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reminds me some of Pasha, except Chytil will play center.

 

[Mikos87]

Biggest riser in the draft.

 

[Trxjw]

Once again, they take a good player, but I feel there were better guys still on the board.

This is another player I liked. Didn't have him in my first two rounds a month ago, this guy was a big time late riser. Had him 26 in my final rankings.

LOOOOOVVVVEEEEE this pick

Why? I know nothing about him.

Seems like another reach which they could've traded back and got some assets and still had gotten the player.

31. Filip Chytil, C, Zlin (Czech)
DOB: 9/05/99 | Ht: 6' 0.5" | Wt: 178
2016-17 stats: 38 GP | 4 G | 4 A

Chytil was a regular in the top Czech league as a bottom-six forward for his team, despite being one of the youngest players eligible for the 2017 draft. It was hard for me to get a read on Chytil this season. On the one hand, I see a player with a fair amount of talent. On the other, I never saw him take over a game when playing against his age group, and he was often the best player on the second-best line more than being a game-changer. Chytil is an impressive skater who can be tough to check when he's coming through the neutral zone with speed. His stick skills are above average, and I watched him create chances out of nothing. He moves the puck around fine and is creative offensively. Off the puck, I'd like to see more from him in terms of grit and awareness.

I want a skilled player not a defensive ****ing forward

He's certainly skilled. He just has a complete game to go with it.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Why? I know nothing about him.

Big time riser. First learned about him a couple months ago, and immediately loved him from what I saw. Very well rounded player with good upside.

Very happy we're going European over North American in this draft, as well.

 

[NYRFAN218]

Only 6 feet? He looked ****ing huge on stage.

gushing hard over this pick

absolutely love it

can you explain why?

 

[Joey Bones]

Ondrej Palat clone, IMO!!

 

[Fitzy]

So we went with two guys playing in men's leagues at a young age. I wonder if that was a theme and time-to-NHL was a consideration.

These picks remind me of the JT Miller pick in a weak 2011 draft. Team went for likelihood of NHLer over the highest upside.

My username.

With a lot of Russian names, you just add "asha" on after the first letter to get the diminutive. Pasha, Sasha, etc.
