Trocheck is better than Chytil in every aspect of the game. The only thing in Chytil's favor is his age, but with his concussion history it may not matter. If Lavi removes Trocheck as the center between Panarin and Laffy, he would need his head checked by a professional.

Chytil won that spot at camp and only lost it due to injury. Hard to judge the fit at this point until they try it again.

Don't play Kakko with Kreider and Zibanejad...realistically no RW in the league (other than Vatrano or Buchnevich would work with them)...

Lafreniere
Kakko
Panarin
Roslovic
Chytil
Goodrow
Vesey

Have all failed on their right side... To me that is no longer on the 1RW, but rather on Kreider and Zibanejad failing to use their 1RW succesfully...

For the Rangers to have 2 great 5v5 lines Kreider and Zibanejad must be broken up.

Chytil - Zibanejad - Kakko
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Kreider - Wennberg - Othmann
Cuylle - Brodzinski - Vesey
Rempe

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Schneider
Jones - Trouba
Harpur

Shesterkin
Quick
Domingue

These would be my lines next year
Wennberg is resigned at 3x4M
Goodrow is bought out or is traded for future considerations or a late pick.

Lavi put Cytil at 2C because he wanted a shut down 3rd line and Trocheck can do that while Chytil can't. Chytil didn't win anything in camp, it's because of the types of lines Lavi wanted.

Makes sense but still could favor him trying that again. Personally think Lavi will put Chytil with 93 and 20

I just hope Chytil can play and stay healthy first off, and would be fine with him at LW with Mika and move Kreider to RW, just don't want to see the Panarin/Trocheck/Laffy line messed with, it's to good as is.

Chytil will be lucky to play, yet 1 hit away. Cannot pencil him in. It's PerrEault...with an e!!??? Gabe is too young for ahl next year and is obviously staying in college. Certainly not paying a 1st for Bjugstad
