<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>If you're not trolling than the only other explanation for your past trades and thinking Chytil is the teams best center is you are detached from reality my friend. Panarin had 92 points last season and you call that "pedestrian"? LOL. He didn't have a good playoffs vs the Devils, but Kreider was the only Ranger forward that showed up for that series, so trading Panarin with 50% retention based on that one series is unhinged. If they had, he would be having a great season for another team with the Rangers paying half the freight. Do you not see how dumb that would have been? You posted dumb Laffy trades too, just look them up. And Igor is over rated? He won a Vezina his 2nd full year in the league and is 133-59-17 with a .920 career save % and a 2.44 GAA. To think he is over rated is about as dumb as it gets. Check yourself in somewhere because you need a whole team of professionals working on you.</div></div>

For nearly 12m, yes, 90 points is pedestrian. Especially when he scored less than 30 goals. For almost 12m I want that player to be 110+ points and over 35 goals. And NOT a playoff ghost. Being defensively responsible would be awesome too. So yes, I did have a problem that Panarin hit exactly ZERO of those marks in 2022-23.

I mean, Chytil is the team's best centre if we are talking pure skill/talent. He literally was more productive at 18-23 than Zibanejad was at that age -- look at the numbers. He's also more dynamic than Zibanejad and is a true game breaking player. It's a matter of developing him. He could EASILY be a 40+ goal player and 100 point scorer if given the opportunity and tools to succeed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Cornbreadnhl</b></div><div>If he is back for playoffs, there is no way he plays RW on Mika's line.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GM69</b></div><div>Yeah it's unlikely he's back for playoffs, but it's definitely a positive that he's back for on ice training. Even if he is deemed healthy, by the time he get's back up to speed with his on ice workouts he likely isn't ready before the SCF anyway. He's just been away from the game for too long.</div></div>

Real ones know that the last Chytil incident (the suspicious non-contact collapse) was a plot by the NYR to use the LTIR loophole. It's really convenient that he happened to have a setback when barely any other players were on the ice, and no beat reporters present saw what happened....

It's also very convenient that when he was leaving the ice, he was favoring one leg.

My guess is that he really did get hurt (I don't think Chytil would agree to stage a fake injury), but it was a leg/lower body issue, and not concussion related at all. And that the Rangers just said it was concussion related because a doctor can't say "he's recovered and isn't experiencing any symptoms" -- it's not something that can be determined physiologically. The only one who knows what concussion symptoms are present, is Chytil himself. Therefore, they managed to avoid attracting suspicion from the league. And a LBI that would take him out for weeks or months, just gives him more time to rest and recover and potentially use his cap space at the deadline.

So I wouldn't be surprised if he's back ~ the second round.
