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

[inranger94]

lol no way he is back for the playoffs. He will be in the locker room cheering them on. Do it for Fil!

 

[RGY]

Health is most important.

But man oh man would he be an added boost of talent and speed to the lineup. Put him on the wing next to Zib-Kreider. Or the 3rd line and slot someone down

 

[kovazub94]

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

Low odds but if Chytil were to return I’d put him with Kreider and Zibanejad.

Please. Hasn’t Fil suffered enough? Hahaha. Put him between Kakko and Cuylle.

 

[kovazub94]

Where would Wennberg go - 4th line? And you’re keeping Roslovic with Zibanejad?

 

[Raspewtin]

if by some miracle Chytil is actually able to play in the POs (basically not possible imo), i'm putting him literally anywhere and punting Roslovic into the sun. dude sucks so bad.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

This is insane.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This is insane.

I'm very concerned for his well being. This could end very badly.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

Yes, very much. You have to hope he has the right people around him, looking out for his best interests. BUT if he's cleared medically and he wants to play, what do you do?

 

[savebyrichter94]

I'm very concerned for his well being. This could end very badly.

Or he could be fine and this all ends epically, I’m sure he’ll make the best choice for himself

 

[bleedblue94]

I am so happy to see chytil back and looking healthy, BUT i have mixed feelings about him playing.

if he does play does he just slot in the blackhole on the rw with 20 and 93?

 

[McRanger92]

Kreider-Mika-Chytil will change lives. Cant believe the Rangers put a dead man in a regular contact jersey

 

[mas0764]

My inclination would be to put Chytil with Kakko. Getting that third line to actually score a bit would be huge.

But then again the first line is crap also. If Chytil could get the first line going, even better. But I’m not sure he can or anyone can. That’s a Mika/Chris problem.

I lean this way:

Kreider Mika Vesey
Panarin Trocheck Lafreniere
Cuylle Chytil Kakko
Goodrow Wennburg Roslovic Rempe

Lindgren Fox
Miller Schneider
Jones Trouba

Sorry Gus, Jones has to play

 

[Tob]

Ohhhhhhh, Joe!

My theory proving correct. They faked an injury with him earlier in the season to LTIR him until the playoffs.

They have the center depth to play Chytil at wing in the top 6, where he can theoretically avoid the middle of the ice and control the puck on zone entries for the wonder twins. He's had good chemistry with Kreider before.

Love Vince saying not to expect him in the final 2 games. Thanks for that ground breaking scoop, they obviously dont have the cap space to activate him. Not like we discussed it for months leading up to the trade deadline lol

 

[Graves94]

This is insane.

April 1st was 11 days ago...this is unbelievable! Shocked that none of our beat writers, including Brooks had absolutely zero knowledge of this...

 

[Tob]

Fil coming back to become MSL's mom and give the team a boost in the playoffs by killing himself

 

[Raspewtin]

replacing that shit for brains Roslovic with Chytil would be an other-worldly upgrade. we would have two lines at least!

 

[Fitzy]

I'm very happy that his health has improved.

I'm no doctor and have no medical expertise. I hope that there is some way, however imperfect, to gauge re-injury risks. Because what they say is every additional concussion can do more damage, and that it isn't always immediately obvious.

 

[LeetchisGod]

There is a mountain of evidence to suggest that many athletes do not.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Holy shit that is f***ing amazing news!!

 

[IDvsEGO]

I’d rather move wennberg to the first, chytil to 3c, and roslovic to the third.
Get 3 insanely strong lines.

Brains are unpredictable. Someone can suffer a dozen concussions and end up being fine as they get older. Sometimes it just takes one to really knock someone out of whack for good. What I don't like is the way he suffered the last one. No one really saw what happened but if it was a 1 v 1 drill and he tripped over a stick, that isn't really confidence inspiring. What that tells me is that his brain as at the point where even minor impact will cause it to be like "yeah, we're not doing this again."

At the end of the day, he is going to make the call. If he's been medically cleared, then there isn't much else standing in his way other than him.

I guess I get where you’re coming from but ultimately it’s the players decision, how they arrive at it is their own business

 

[zlev]

holy shit
