Filip Chytil initially made a very positive impact on New York Rangers management and the coaching staff at the end of training camp and earned himself a two-game stint early in the season.
He made his debut in the top-six forwards skating alongside Rick Nash, but the coaching staff quickly lost their trust in the player and Chytil’s ice time was diminished and he was sent down to the American Hockey League.
Chytil was sent down to continue to develop his complete 200-foot game, which as a center, is most definitely important.
