Player Discussion Filip Chytil: Part II

[bhamill]

I'm okay with that. I just do not think correlation equals causation. The right wings we have tried have not been huge successes in those same seasons elsewhere. Vesey, Wheeler, and KK have not looked like top 6 wings on any line this season. Mika has had a tough time scoring at even strength this season. CK has not.

Chris’ EV points are up this year but his EV goals are down by 5. Though he looks disinterested at times, you are right, Mika is really the problem there not Chris. As far as wings we’ve tried, Fil is already among them. The others haven’t looked like top six wings partly because the only top six time they’ve gotten is WITH 20-93… and NOBODY has looked like a top six wing there for three years…

crosby wasnt a concussion issue, i thought it was a neck issue that was misdiagnosed?

 

[Sockosensei]

How much does a healthy Chytil improve this team?

Depth increases for sure. I think his skating alone helps the overall intensity of this team.

I remember him being among the league leaders in zone entries. That already adds value if he centers Cuyle and Kakko. Push Wennberg down, and Goodrow to the wing.

 

[Svenhart2008]

If Filda is healthy, he would be a gigantic boost for this team.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

a healthy Chytil is a massive upgrade on ros/wennberg

 

[Larrybiv]

They're NOT going to play him if he isn't "healthy". Thing is, how "up to speed" will he be? Bound to be "less than", but still would be a welcome addition. Just keep him off the dots.

Yes but he has also missed most of the season so you cannot expect him to step in and play at a high level. It takes a while to adapt to the speed of the game not to mention playoff hockey is a level higher in all aspects.

His “low” level of play will still be better than Rosv in the lineup.

a lot. he has a good shot and can score at 5on5. a huge addition.

That is where our opinions differ. I do not think a player has to play top 6 to show he cam be a top 6 player nor do I think a player playing in the top 6 will look like a top 6 player if they are not one. When Crosby double shifts on the 4th line he still looks like a top line player. When Vesey plays on a top line he does not look like a top line player. Kaako in the past played with Bread. Some people posted that Bread did not want to play with him. I would love to be able to say Rozi, Kaako, and Vesey are top line players. So far that has not been the case and not just with Zibs and CK.

That’s correct.

 

[Kupo]

Chytil was practicing in his full contact jersey. That tells me he’s been feeling good for quite awhile now. He’ll be playing this postseason.

Filip Chytil returns to Rangers practice in pre-playoff shocker

The Rangers had a familiar — and unexpected — face at practice on Friday.

Okay, but Cosby isn’t merely a top 6 player the guy is f***ing GENERATIONAL. Plus, he’s getting 4th line minutes IN ADDITION to his normal 1st line shift. A normal top sixer is NOT going to look like that. Especially ONLY getting 4th line minutes. Apples and Oranges, IMO. Fil often looked like a top six forward playing third line with Kakko and Laf who were struggling, but was irrelevant on the wing with 20-93.

The thought of Chytil coming back (maybe ever) blows my mind. Tell me this is not some BS reporting,

Edit for spelling.

We do not mess with 10-16-13 especially for a player who hasn’t seen real action since before last Christmas.

WHAT?????? You're going to reward our 1OA for a great season by moving him to the third line? That's insane

yeah just throwing shit at the wall

He's practicing with the team and is cleared for full contact.

Who knows when he will actually play, how effective he will be, or if he can stay healthy. All we can do is hope for the best.

Panarin & Lafreniere - Zibanejad - ________
Kreider - Trocheck - Chytil
Cuylle - Wennberg - Kakko
Rempe - Goodrow - Vesey

 

[Crease]

They are not breaking up the best 5v5 line in the league to accommodate Chytil. Chytil will be with Kreider and Zibanejad or running the third line between Cuylle and Kakko.

According to what stat?

Thought I saw a stat last week that Panarin Tro Laf have scored the most even strength goals of any line in the league.
