Prospect Info: Filip Chytil (Pick #21 2017)

[GoAwayPanarin]

Great to have them both signed and I don't think it's going to more than a couple years before they're both in the Rangers lineup. These signings show both players are committed.

I think its important to note that European players who were just drafted have to be signed by July 15th in order to be eligible to participate in training camp (assuming the players who were drafted are under contract over seas and are not playing in the KHL.)

TC will be a good experience for both of them regardless of where they play afterwards.

 

[Jonas1235]

they're both not going back to Europe. Maybe they start in Hartford and play in WJC in Buffalo.

I could absolutely see Chytil going back to the Czech Republic. He'll have just turned 18 when the AHL season starts.

I actually think that Chytil will play one more year in the Czech Rep.--keeping in mind that he's just about the youngest player in his draft class and IMO he'll be better off in the Czech league and international tournaments than he would be in the OHL.

Andersson OTOH already acts like a seasoned pro. Not saying he'll make the Rangers out of training camp but I think he has a shot. If not he might play in Hartford or he might play for Frolunda--I think he'll leave that decision to the Rangers management and do what they think best.

 

[Mikos87]

I'd like to see him come over and dominate juniors.

You know he'll get the reps he needs and the ice time in juniors.

Smaller ice too.

It's been a while since the Czech league developed a player straight out of there.

A lot of the good young Czech players now came in through juniors before hitting the NHL.

Nothing against the extraliga, but the quality of competition isn't the highest in that league at the moment, Chytil might see more ice time, and get used to dominating.

I don't like that idea at all, playing against men will be harder and better for his development. No need to pluck the kid from home and send him to Bum****ville Canada, a terrible team too.

Dominating hard competition is good, dominating lower competition is pointless.

Yup. I believe NYR managment will make a right decision. in fact it is not so easy. probably one more year in Extraliga. Anyway I have no clue regarding any NA lower leagues...

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I believe Herman said on twitter a while back that someone told him for Chytil it was AHL or back to the Czech league. I think he goes back to the Czech league though

Much rather have Andersson in the SHL then the AHL.

So do I! That way I can see him in the CHL here

 

[kovazub94]

Let's call it CL, CHL is pretty much reserved here for Canadian junior leagues.

Nope. It's the CHL. We can use WHL, OHL and QMJHL if we want to talk about Canadian Major Juniors

I am part of it. I dont know. I know CHL as (WHL, OHL, QMJHL) so what is it CL or CHL are you talking about...?

I never refer to major juniors as CHL, since it's not really a league but more a combination of the 3. CHL to me is the Champions Hockey League

thanks.

but I am sorry this league is still pointless. no matter what you saying...

If Lias goes back to Sweden, he will be playing a game in Austria and one in Switzerland. Easy for me to attend

99% associate CHL with three major junior leagues in Canada. It has a clout, history and following.

European Championship League (ECL - feel free to borrow it) is an afterthought of a tournament

understand. ok then. same feelings here. I will love to see Chytil in Extraliga one more season.

But there is no problem for me to folowing his transition to NA hockey as soon as possible as well. NHL at best hopefully.

what do you mean by this sentence exactly ?

In short it is just not prestigious.

Neither was the NHL after 3 years. The CHL started in 2014.

 

[Tawnos]

My feeling on Chytil here is 2 seasons of development followed by debut, could be more though.

Yr 1.) Czech
Yr 2.) AHL
Yr 3.) NHL

I mean, really he could be NHL in year 2. If this really is a player who would be a top-10 pick if he was born a week later (which really depends on what he does in Europe this year), then it isn't out of the realm that a top-10 type player would make his NHL debut right away. That's year 2. I'd like to see him get adjusted to North America in the AHL, though. Spend one year there.

very first CHL was born like 20 years ago...

First, some form of this competition has been around for many decades and it is always was an afterthought.

Second, if you agree that it's a lesser competition, then why do you feel it "earned" the right for the same reference as the Canadian Juniors?

Anyway, not a big deal and I'm not going to comment on this anymore.

so true.

not a fan of this format of ECL either.

anyway we have only choice to pushing it up and pray for it here in Europe.

it was my last thought as well
