https://nypost.com/2023/01/11/rangers-arent-helping-themselves-by-limiting-filip-chytil/ Honnêtement, je ne suis pas fan de Brooks, mais je ne peux m’empêcher de penser qu’il a raison dans ce cas. J’ai vraiment aimé ce que j’ai vu quand Chytil était avec Panarin plus tôt dans la saison. Je l’échangerais avec Trocheck. Je pense aussi que Trocheck est plus adapté en tant que type d’arrêt solide. Le genre de gars qui a si bien joué contre Zibanejad et Strome lors des séries éliminatoires contre nous la saison dernière. C’est le genre de jeu dont nous aurons besoin de lui au printemps. En tout cas, je pense que Chytil a mérité l’opportunité, curieux de savoir ce que vous en pensez tous.

We’ve been saying this for ages.
Play the youth…it’s our future.
absolutely, any time he’s out there I think he’s doing a great job. him and Kakko are my babies.
They straightjacketed him the moment they signed Tro to a big deal. Chytil will never have a 2C role on this team so as long as Tro is here and healthy. And Tro is deserving of 2C as well.
So what can Gallant really do at this point? My only thought would be keep the lines the way they are except the PP.. Give the kids more of the time on the PP. Make the first PP unit something like – Kakko, Chytil, Panarin, Mika and Fox. PP2 could be – Laf, Tro, Kreider, Trouba and Miller
There are endless combos they could be trying to fix this stale af PP that would also benefit the kids. This coach needs to wake tf up
1000%. He should be playing with Panarin. Trocheck is a good 2C but would be incredible as a 3C. I know his contract indicates a higher standing but that’s not Gallant’s problem
Honestly. I think chytil looked really good when he was with kravt and goat. I think Goat had 2 breakaways obe game with this line
Flip Laf to RW and play kravy-chytil-goat.
As per stats provided by u/NYM32
>Laf + Panarin 5v5 this year: 59% CF%, 56% SF%, 56% SCF%, 52% xGF%
So i would put panarin-tro-laf as our 2nd line. Even tho i hate messing with kravy as he has been playing well
But who knows what the lines are gonna be if kreiders gotta miss time
He has the highest 5v5 pts/60 on the team i believe. Probably our most dynamic forward at even strength. Give the man his due.
I love seeing his confidence grow, but the one thing holding him back is his continued struggles on faceoffs. At just 38.9%, he’s in that range where he has to be paired with another center and/or moved to the wing if he’s going to play in all situations.
Jack Hughes is even worse at the dot, and the Devils put Haula, another center, on his line to take all the faceoffs. After the puck is dropped, Hughes plays the rest of the shift as the center and Haula moves to the wing. The Isles do something similar with Barzal, who’s perhaps the worst of the three at faceoffs. He still lines up for a lot of draws, but not so many important ones.
So we do that with Chytil, or he has to get better at faceoffs. He doesn’t have to turn into Bergeron. He just needs to get up around 45-46% where it doesn’t really matter if you win or lose. If he can do that, then I think we’ll see him earning consistent top 6 minutes.
Chytil, Kakko, and Key should get all the ice they can handle.
Meanwhile, I’m beyond merely “concerned” about Lafreniere at this point. He’s still very young but he’s been invisible and a complete non-factor in every game I’ve watched this year.
It’d be one thing if it looked like he was improving or noticeably involved in games, but I don’t feel that way at all. Strangely he doesn’t seem to lack confidence, which is helpful, but I’m worried he lacks the processing speed to be successful at this level. It’s year three now, and he’s on pace for HALF as many goals as last year.
I hope I’m overreacting, like I do 90% of the time. But fucking yikes.
Something that I’ve been noticing is that (no shock here) if you share a lit of ice time with Adam Fox, you tend to play a lot better. I would love see the Rangers play Fox with the middle 6 more for maybe 2 or 3 games and see how they respond.
Maloney was saying the exact same thing in OT, more of him over Trocheck.
Is the a bad thing? Right now our center depth consist of 3 top 6 caliber centers. We have depth down the middle which is great when trying to win a cup
