Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part II (Chytil to miss rest of 2023-24 Season)

[Beer League Sniper]

He is functionaly broken that he cannot even skate. I hope he can live a normal life.

Its a miricle that Zucc even still plays hockey. He got dinged in the head so hard he could not even speak human language

An old friend of mine fell off a quad and got some kind of amnesia from the blow to his head. He was riding around way too fast without a helmet (despite being warned on both counts). I drove him to the hospital, and his behavior was f***ing terrifying. He kept asking the same questions over and over again every 10 seconds. There's so much we don't know about how the brain processes and heals from trauma. I just hope the team takes all precautions necessary to make sure Fil can begin to heal. I'm not friends with the guy any longer. I moved away, and he went down the alt-right rabbit hole and became an alcoholic wife-beater. But I can't help but wonder if that blow to head had anything to do with it.

for the (presumably) few here who'd get it.. but I couldn't not post it.

That's what the bundies said and they all turned into monkeys lol
Anyway, there is such a thing if you research about it.

There's research that shows a team can be cursed or jinxed?
Yeah.

No joke, his head landed inches from a rock. He would have died instantly with how hard he fell.

Interesting observation from the locker room: Filip Chytil has a new locker with all of his practice gear hanging it in. Haven't seen his stuff in a while, so could be a sign that he's in town and doing some on-ice work.

There's no way... right? Gotta think they're bringing him along just so he can experience the run maybe?

 

[Ruggs225]

Wow hopefully he is working out. Havent heard anything about him in a while.

Is there room to fit him into the playoff roster? Something like a Mark Stone LTIR thing? Punk the league?

Once the season ends, the cap goes away, so we can activate him with no issue.

I’m hoping he can get some games in with Hartford . Not expecting it though

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

This is pretty shocking. Figure he was shut down for the remainder of the season. Surprised he's even in the states. I don't think there's any chance he plays in the playoffs but hopefully this means he can resume his career at some point.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wow. Fingers crossed. No way they put his gear back in his locker for no reason at this point of the year. Hopefully things have been going perfect since he left.

 

[NYRFAN218]

No idea what to make of this. Seems like he may be healthy enough to skate and mess around on the ice which is great news in its own right. They did rule him out for the season but that being said things do change. What happens if he hasn't had symptoms in months and there's been no issues? Is it still rushing him at that point to try and have him play? Not to mention the playoffs can be even more taxing physically and possibly dangerous so who knows if that's even the best scenario for him personally to jump back into. I'm just happy he gets to be around the team and is doing well enough to do so.

Fil being in the lineup for Game 1 would be hilarious and would probably cause a meltdown on the main boards.

Did we even dip into his cap space?

 

[FoxyClean]

Did we even dip into his cap space?

According to CapFriendly we're at $140k cap space. Wennberg + Roslovic were 4.25m. Fil was 4.4m. So we used up almost every dollar of it.

edit: forgot Wennberg and Roslovic had retention so actually I don't know

 

[bl02]

Did we even dip into his cap space?

I'm pretty sure we did

 

[GAGLine]

Did we even dip into his cap space?

We used LITR, yes. We don't have any cap space left to pay bonuses, so those will roll over to next year.

 

[AirGut]

even if this doesn't lead to him actually playing it's gotta be real inspiring if you're in that locker-room and you see his jersey and gear set up again

 

[UnSandvich]

I don’t see him playing this postseason, but assuming there’s no setbacks, I don’t know how you could see this as anything other than a good thing, for the team and Fil both

They can say they meant the regular season lol

 

[Draft Guru]

I just see this as Fil potentially being back around the boys. We saw Wheeler in the locker room after the game the other day in a boot. It sucks being away from the team. I'd be utterly shocked if there's even a 5% chance Fil plays in the post season.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Great that hes with the team again, regardless.

But how epic would it be if Drury pulls a Vegas and Fil is sending heaters on net Game 1

Panarin Trocheck Laf
Chytil/Wennberg Kakko
Kreider Mika Roslovic
Cuylle Goodrow Vesey

 

[LeetchisGod]

The last thing Chytil needs is to come back in the playoffs where the physicality is ramped up. He couldn't even make it through a no contact practice a few months ago.
