Injury Report Concern Grows for Filip Chytil After Latest Suspected Concussion

Pretty grim update from Mercogliano on Chytil:

 

Also, from Brooks:

There is concern for this personable and engaging 24-year-old about his future quality of life. That is the priority.

 

But, moving from the human side to the business side, the Rangers cannot know whether they can count on Chytil. It’s no one’s fault, and certainly not his, but if No. 72’s status is in question, general manager Chris Drury’s priority will be to acquire a third-line center.

I think it was Staal who missed significant time due to a concussion a number of years ago. This could be a large part of the season. Our center depth sucks. One more down and we are in a tough spot. Might need to address that however nothing needs to be addressed while we are still winning.

Wonder if something happened away from the camera that we missed because, hard to understand the timeline here.

[Sharpshooter]

Awful news for everyone. This is career/life altering stuff. Feel bad for him, especially as he was finally starting to find his groove. Drury already needs to find another RW1, now he's going to have to shop even more assets to fill now yet another need in all likelihood.

I'm having Michael Sauer flashbacks.

Concussions are a tough thing to deal with.  One too many and you're dealing with life-altering effects for the rest of your life or worse.

 

It's not likely that this Chytil's retirement injury but the next one might really be it.  I understand Chytil wanting to take it slow and make sure he's ready to go.

 

And of course he may well have dizziness, pain and ringing in his ears mucking up the works.

I remember when he got flattened by Phaneuf thinking that was it for him. He was young and had a history.

 

Obviously, Chytil didn’t take a monster hit like that here. But still, this isn’t good.

 

Honestly, would it surprise anyone if he were to miss a good chunk of, if not all, of the season? I wouldn’t be surprised to see them place him on LTIR.

[Sharpshooter]

I'm expecting him to be out until January/February, best case scenario.

Can't they put him on LTIR retroactive to when he first went out?

[RangersIn7]

Let the kid heal and give him all the time he needs. 
 

It’ll be ok for them in the mean time.

 

You just hope the kid gets better.

Same. Concussion recovery is so unpredictable and case by case basis. But the fact that Chytil hasn't even been able to touch the ice yet, sounds like he's still dealing with serious concussion symptoms. Not a good sign at all...

[Sharpshooter]

Thanks for the memories, Fil. Your chemistry with Kakko and Lafreniere was fun while it lasted, especially in the playoffs.

We have a 2nd OA highly touted pick--bust.  a center that never plays for more than a month. Another center who forgot how to score goals.  A power forward who's allergic to the boards. WTF is going on?

We're the Rangers. We can't have nice things....that aren't goalies.

Maybe partly, but the main reason is this team just isn't that great at drafting and evaluating talent. That and they have bad luck. It's an awesome combination.

i still blame Phil

[The Dude]

I mean Merc said concussion  and we all trust him, but maybe it's something else?  Shoulder/neck injury? 

 

Look, I'm just hoping for the best.  The hit didn't look that bad. So, I'm hoping it's something else that they just want to get 100%. 

 

This is a new trainer. They may have a different outlook on when players can return to action. Seems like Ramsey would put bubble gum on players to get them right back in action. Who knows. Maybe that's why he's gone? 

 

 

[Scott]

Who knows looks like bubblegum on Lindgren, certainly don't seem to be playing it safe just to be playing it safe there.  I would think it's a set of Neuro Dr's and not the head athletic trainer making the calls on all  prospective head injuries especially where there's a history. I doubt that's anything new and pretty standard throughout the league.

[Long live the King]

Go get Elias Lindholm Drury.

 

Calgary sucks.  Players don't want to be there.  their best bet would be to start stock piling assets until a Huberdeau buyout becomes platable.  

[Phil]

Separating the Chytil/Fox injury threads. OP updated with relevant info.

[RangersIn7]

It just takes time.

Concussions are completely their own animal.

And each one is different regardless of history.

if goodrow can't step into the third line center role as a good backup asset...why the hell is he on this roster?
