Confirmed with Link: Rangers Sign Chytil To 2-Year Deal
- Thread starter RGY
- Start date
Wanted longer years. We give 6 to goodrow, we can't take a risk on locking someone up for lower salary in their prime instead of their prime retirement home years?
Why do we LOVE risking the old guys won't fall off (they ALWAYS do) but we refuse to risk signing a young guy bc we're worried he might not develop further?

doesn’t even have to be 6 years. we could’ve given him a 4 year deal and I believe he’d still be a RFA.

Quite possible he knows he hasn’t proven much yet that he wanted the two years so he can cash in when he gets more playing time over the next two years.

Bridging Chytil is pretty dumb given our cap space thanks to the bonehead Buch trade. Should've gambled on him long term. More term to Goodrow than Chytil. Unless this is because we're trading him for Eichel lol
a bridge deal was a no brainer from chytil's standpoint. he sees the rumors that we want to move strome. if he gets to move into the top 6 playing with panarin his value could go thru the roof. he bet on himself.

then 3 years. no reason to keep it at 2 years. get as much RFA time as you can.
Its just, for once it'd be nice to see that 6 or 7 year 4-5.5 AAV for a homegrown dude who seems like a solid middle 6er at worst instead of seeing 6 years 3.65 on an old player from another team

Not surprising in the least, but if we are wondering why this team never has good contracts...this is why.
GREAT production / 60 and pretty good performance in underlying metrics...little reason to suspect he couldn't be a strong 3C with upside as a 2C for the foreseeable future. NYR have cap space to "overpay" in the short term. Yet the narrative is he "needs to "prove himself" despite limited opportunity to actually do so.

I really wanted more term. These bridges NYR love so much with their forwards have bit them many times.
the player has a say in it too. maybe he wanted 2 years. why would he lock in more years at the same rate if he thinks his value will go up?

yup
a lot of the time it isn’t the personnel that hurts us, but cap and asset management. that’s been our biggest problem the last few years.
Everyone is complaining about bridging him, but I don't see any reason Chytil would want 6 years right now. Lock himself into a 3M salary for 6 years? He's still hoping to breakout and get himself a 5M AAV after this. Four years would take him to UFA. Maybe we could have gotten a third year, but there's no incentive for Fil to take a 5+ year deal right now when he has no leverage for salary demands. I doubt he'd have agreed to a 6 year offer right now. He wants a shot at 2C and a chance to earn.

If Chytil’s value goes up so much that his bridge is considered a mistake, I would chalk that up a win regardless.

There are two sides negotiating. A bridge deal was probably what Chytil wanted, and thus he got it.

How do you know Chytil would have accepted a longer deal? Why take a 6 year deal at 3.5/4.0 mil when he can sign for 2 years and then re-sign for 5+ mil on his next contract?

Bridge deals are only bad if good things happen. Chytil is clearly betting on himself and perhaps knows with a better team this year and potentially more play time, his next contract will be 5 mil plus.

If a bridge had to happen, two years, leaving him with 2 RFA years, is the best position for the team.
If he breaks out, it will be said they should have signed him longer and bought up UFA years, yet we don't know if he was willing to do that at a team friendly cap hit.
If he stays the same, it's not going to be that much more expensive to extend him again. With two RFA years left he can't just play out his qualifier or go to arbitration and walk as a UFA.
If he gets worse, whatever, it's two years.
