The time has come for New York Rangers center Filip Chytil to take the second-line center position when the 2023-2024 season begins in October.
Chytil has shown improvement in all areas of his game. He has grown into a strong two-way player exhibiting consistency, strength, and poise; traits which earlier in his career were big question marks.
In his debut year with the team, he appeared in only nine games, managing one goal and three points. The organization wanted to send him back to the Czech Republic to grow his game, but he fought hard with former GM Jeff Gorton to be sent to the AHL to play with the Wolf Pack.
