BrooksBurner Posted Monday at 11:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:06 PM Let’s see if Lavi has the balls to do what needs to be done. Elevate healthy Chytil and lean away from depending on Zibanejad to produce offensively at 5v5. This is an opportunity to create a premier matchup shutdown line with Zib and Kak where absolutely nothing happens on the ice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted Monday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:46 PM I don't think the Rangers can depend on Chytil for anything at this point. Whatever he gives us is a blessing unlikely to be repeated. I'd start him on line 3 with Cuylle and Kakko and see where things go from there. At least with Cuylle you know that anybody who hits Chytil up high is going to get whacked in response.

I totally agree with this. I do think they don't need to elevate Chytil again as long as they have Zib and Tro. If one of those guys gets hurt Chytil is going to have to play a big role in the top 6 or the Rangers are screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once Zibby becomes useless like half the season down the road and Chytil shows he can play more than 2 games without getting hurt? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL Home Ice guys saying, “Drury needs to do it.” And handcuff the franchise? I’m not in favor of that much CAP space. Nope. IDK who exactly but I imagine being able to add key guys to the roster splitting that $ up. Edited Tuesday at 04:13 AM by 4EverRangerFrank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted Tuesday at 04:35 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:35 AM I wouldn't elevate Chytil to break up the most productive line they have (Tro, Panarin and Laf). Unless Chytil has learned how to play center at a high level over the off season. I doubt he has and there's always that issue of having to prove he can stay healthy when somebody else in the building sneezes. After all these years I think there's even more questions about Chytil than there has been in the past when it comes to what he can be counted on for this season. Fingers crossed but certainly wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed but certainly wouldn't bet on it. Kind of rode on hopes and dreams of him taking the next step into the 2nd line center role but at this point it is just baseless hope that he can stay healthy and be a contributor. It's such a shame. The really scary thought is the center depth behind Chytil (turns around and looks at an empty room,). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted Tuesday at 12:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:37 PM I think Edstrom plays two-way hockey at Center. In the event of a top 9 injury you move him up to line 3 between Cuylle and Kakko. That would probably be a decent checking line with a net front presence. Cuylle was at his best last season when he had linemates looking to crash the net with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted Tuesday at 01:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:53 PM We need to stop calling Edstrom a center until they actually play him at center. He played exclusively wing on a line centered by Roobroeck during the rookie games against Philadelphia — other wingers like Chmelar, and Sykora were taking draws over Edstrom on the PK. He played wing all of last season. He's a wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:12 PM You think Trouba at least makes it through the year here and gets bought out, or do they actually find a suitor for him in a trade after they were unable to to and/or get him to waive the stupid NTC.

Ozzy Posted Tuesday at 05:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:18 PM The second we can get Trouba out of here, the better. Riley Nash's injury must be his ass from sitting all off season....Pens didn't even make the playoffs! When and where the fuck did he get injured. Oh yeah, and I'm still going to hide my eyes every time Chytil takes a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
