[Staple] GM Chris Drury says only known injuries ahead of camp are prospect Ryder Korczak (upper) and Riley Nash (lower). Nash won't be at training camp.
[Baugh] Filip Chytil is "full go" for training camp, per Chris Drury. "Nothing holding him back."
[Walker] Chris Drury on Jacob Trouba: "Jacob and I talk all the time, as GM and captain should. I would even include Lavi in those conversations. Obviously, being captain, he runs our dressing room and is head of the leadership group. We've had a number of different conversations over the course of the summer, on a lot of different things. He is very clear as to where he stands with me and what I think of him as a player and as a leader. I think he's done a real good job here. As a captain, there's so many moving parts that go in and out of being captain, especially in New York and especially the Rangers captain. Excited to have him back, excited for training camp. I know he had a terrific offseason, training wise."
[Mercogliano] Drury on Kakko: "He dealt with an injury last year & admittedly he didn't have the best year… Another guy that had a terrific offseason and in early testing just looks great. I think he's out to prove that last year was a fluke, and he's ready to have a good year for us."

Chytil is great news. I have a suspicion that Chytil was dealing with a neck issue similar to what Crosby had. Just a guess but I feel like if it was a concussion issue he wouldn’t have come back for the playoffs out of the blue like he did.
Nice to hear Kakko mentioned in this. Really hope this is the breakout year🤞🏻
Praying for a healthy Chytil. Having him at 100% adds such a big difference to the depth and lineup. On top of that he’s just so damn fun to watch
If we can get at least 22-23 Kakko and Chytil then our third line will be set, and our top 9 should be one of the best ones in the league
Please just keep kakko with mika and krieder and dont let mika and krieders slump affect kakkos position in the lineup
To me it sounds like he is hyping up Kakko to increase his trade value. I doubt he was injured last year. I hope he does have a break out year but if he doesn’t they really have to move on. Both the team and Kakko need fresh starts.
I am once again drinking the Kakko Kool-aid
He’s not going to give you anything good. Especially regarding Trouba.
