The New York Rangers have to be very pleased with Filip Chytil’s play this season. It’s taken a few years for the big center from Czechia to find his game at the NHL level but he’s really made strides.
After struggling with consistency since being drafted 21st overall in 2017, Chytil has now been a reliable offensive threat this 2022-23 campaign for the Blueshirts. In 38 games, he’s registered 24 points and is flirting with a 50 point season.
This is all great stuff, except when it comes to trying to figure out what Chytil’s next contract will look like and how the Rangers can make it work with their cap situation.
