The Draft Analyst: C Filip Chytil Highlights (2017 NHL Draft)



PSG Zlin center Filip Chytil (#12) was the youngest forward in the Czech Extraliga and a standout for the Czech Republic at several international competitions. He’s a three-zone forward with both goal scoring and playmaking abilities.

  1. I'm definitely not a hockey player, & even as a fan, I'm casual, so this might sound stupid, because I'm pretty stupid on this topic, but a couple questions come to mind when I watch this video. First off, chytil looks great in this video, however, he's not playing against NHL caliber anything, not the goalie, not the D, or anyone else. I see a lot of goals that just wouldn't happen against a high tier of opposition. That makes me think that stuff would change when he gets to the NHL. I realize that the Rangers will develop him, & he will improve (needs ice time though!), But I feel like too much was put on him too quickly, considering the role & the hype that is/was on him. Also, I don't understand why goalies head tracks the puck when it flies over their shoulder. It's like if you can see the puck & you can't move your body in front of it, at least swat out and at least try to block it with an arm.
