Pete Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Seems like he's calling it a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Well that changes things. Almost certainly out for the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 The good thing here is if he's out for the year, the Rangers' cap woes likely fixed themselves. Per Brooks, they'll gain approximately $3.8 million of additional space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Smart move by Chytil and the Rangers. Maybe he wakes up in a month or two and feels good enough to skate hard. Maybe next summer he decides to give it a hard go again. All the pressure is off of him and the organization right now. He doesn't have to watch the Rangers up close and wonder if he'd make a difference. The Rangers don't have to watch him and try to gauge what value he might have if they pushed him in a time of need. Now we can look at other solutions without the wiggle in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Wow. Sad, but glad the team can move on, I don't think this ends well for him career wise at all, if this isn't the end already, but that's all secondary. Get well Chytil.

Br4d Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 He's made a nice chunk of money and he's only 24. If I was him goal one would be not drooling at 48. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Have to figure he’s done for the season at this point. Hes already been out for 2 months and missed approaching 25 games. Highly unlikely we see him again this year. As for his career… who knows. I hate to speculate about that with a kid this age. You just hope he gets well and if doctors clear him down the road and he feels well enough to take another kick at the can, you hope for the best.

Ozzy Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Well, that fucking blows! I feel bad for the kid. He was just taking off too. I just hope he gets everything back in order upstairs. I kinda figured he was headed this way, but kinda sucks to see it come to fruition. We'll keep the door open for ya, Fil!! Go get better! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Article says he's hoping to get back this season, but who knows. Don't expect to see him any sooner than April, if even then. Wish him well no matter how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Yh, if he's going back to Europe he won't play in the regular season anymore I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Biznasty was talking about someone (I forget who) on the last episode of chiclets who did a “reset” treatment and I think it worked out for them. Not sure if this is the same thing but sounds like it might be the only path left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Didn't see this earlier. That sucks. I really like the kid and it looked like things were just about to go his way. A lot more people believed in his abilities going into this season. Hope he can continue to play hockey again, but more importantly I hope he's OK. Hope to see you soon War Machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Like others, this news dictates to me that his season is likely over. And to me it doesn’t seem like much good has progressed from him skating. This may be Michael Sauer 2.0 unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Nothing works miracles for concussions because the next one is generally worse than the last and each concussion makes you more prone to having the next one. The physical details on repetitive concussions are just gross. Like you read up on them and it makes you want to throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical details on repetitive concussions are just gross. Like you read up on them and it makes you want to throw up. You just hope that the reset approach to this helps him start to make progress and improve. The fact that he’s able to fly is a good sign Very difficult to do that with bad symptoms. In all reality, even if he does improve, he probably shouldn’t play again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Quote The overriding concern since Chytil left the MSG ice after what initially appeared to be a benign collision with former teammate Jesper Fast on Nov. 2 has been for the future quality of his life and not on which line he would play upon a return. Michael Sauer, believed genetically predisposed to concussions, was forced into retirement at age 24 after 98 games on the Rangers blue line. This has seemed like that for a while now. https://nypost.com/2023/12/30/sports/filip-chytil-absence-reminiscent-of-michael-sauer-concussion-saga/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother Kurt had his career ended by concussion as well. And both Lindros brothers had issues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
