The NY Rangers lucked out by drafting Filip Chytil 21st overall in 2017. If he were born ten days later, he would have been part of the 2018 draft, and likely would have been a top-ten pick in that draft. The Blueshirts have been able to bring Chytil along in a quick but not rushed manner, sliding him into the 3C role this year.
Chytil responded with a 14-9-23 line in 60 games. That projects to a 19-12-31 season over 82 games. When it comes to a young 3C, that’s about expected. The bigger pieces are what Chytil does away from the puck, things that show he might be ready for a promotion to 2C.
