David Quinn saw the change in Filip Chytil right away this summer, something that helps make the 20-year-old a clear-cut favorite to be the Rangers’ second-line center on opening night.
After all the splashy additions this offseason — the signing of Artemi Panarin, the trades for Jacob Trouba and Adam Fox, the pick of Kaapo Kakko with the No. 2-overall selection in June’s draft — it seems like Chytil went somewhat overshadowed. But as training camp continued with three group practices on Sunday at the team’s facility in Tarrytown, the maturation of Chytil now with one season under his belt was unmistakable.
