given NYR’s deficiencies at 5v5, they desperately need to get him top 6 5v5 TOI at center this season
Filip Chytil 5v5 rate metrics (and ranks among NYR Fs), last 3 seasons:
If he can stay healthy, he’s gonna do well with Kakko on the 3rd line.
But I can say this, if Chytil scores, everyone will go nuts.
If he shows any glimpses of a potential 15-20 goal season, would be best to package him and ship him out of town.
I am so torn by this. I love hockey and the Rangers and would love to see him finish out a nice career. But there’s a part of me that’s terrified of watching his last concussion.
Our top two lines don’t have any physicality, so I really think the third line needs to be a pesky checking line vs scoring. I’m so excited to see Chytil hopefully take steps forward, but am also skeptical that he has the right DNA to center a third line in the playoffs.
