thats great because I wouldn't ever consider trading Bratt for Chytil either, so
again, Bratt has twice as many points in only 40 more games
enjoy your guy and we'll enjoy ours
LOL!-- if stats watching at this point in their careers is all you're going by.
Let's look at these two guys just a little bit deeper. One of them is a 5-10/5-11 180 lb. winger on a team that doesn't have a whole lot of wing talent. I mean you have Palmieri and you had Hall (when he wasn't hurt) and Coleman (who's in Tampa now). Bratt's a good player--I don't want to take anything away from him but if you've a very good team 5 years from now (and we'll have to wait and see if that happens) he's kind of someone you'd want as a 3rd line wing. He's more like a bit more offensive version of our Jesper---not a whole lot more though. The other is a bit younger 6-2 215 lb. man-child of a center. Center more important than wing, size matters as well, younger matters in this case too as only a couple years ago Chytil was a late 17 year old playing in the AHL. Skillset matters and Chytil wins that easily--he is a big kid who hasn't figured out how strong he is yet but he skates with speed and grace and lo and behold in the play in he's out there killing penalties because he's been getting his game together. His career arc in fact is pretty much identical to Mika Zibanejad's by phsyical size and strength, by skating, by age and by stats. So you keep your Swiss Army knife of a player---he's going to be good and we'll be more than happy to keep Chytil who has a very much higher upside.
......and back to the stat watching if the Rangers move Strome Filip is the most logical guy to replace him on Panarin's line. If that happens Filip's numbers are going to double if not triple. So good luck to your team (but not too much). We'll see you in the future.
