Chytil being reevaluated today.

Chytil placed on IR, and they recalled Jacob Quillan from Abbotsford.
They need to play him 56 games in the NHL this season to maintain his RFA status.
He’ll be interesting to watch. He likely plays a similar game as Chytil with good speed, but maybe limited scoring at the NHL level.
He is also a lot less likely to end up on IR.
Nice that he may get to play against Toronto who just traded him away for Raty.

I wish the best for Chytil but I really think Van tells him, “just go on LTIR and we will let you go to UFA after this season.”

I know that is not great asset management but you got to think his brain is almost fried. They need to tell him that he probably should retire for his own health.

[Cornuck]

I doubt if Malhotra would be on board with that given his history of forced LTIR.

But - concussions are a little different.

I honestly don’t think Chytle brings much to the table. Sure he has speed and can dangle but he is a predictable shooter first guy with serious injury concerns. This latest is not concussion related right. Wasn’t his last injury shoulder related?

I feel for the guy but he is better off going back to Europe and playing. I can’t see him getting beyond a one year league minimum how me deal, at best, if that.

If we have to play Quinlan 50 plus games to retain his rights then we should do that.

[donlever]

This and the earlier injury are both shoulder not head related.

The current issue is thought to be a recurrence of the previous from this year.

He played out the game after the hit that caused the problem which would not have happened were it concussive.

[Cousin Strawberry]

He's a "shoot first guy" with a shitty shot.

Maybe next season, if their top prospects develop reasonably well, they’ll have Petey, Malhotra and Cootes down the middle. They’ll need a fourth and fifth centre. Quillan has the size at 6’1 204 and speed for a checking role more so than Rossi and Sasson, so it is a perfect time to give him a run of games at the NHL level and see what he can develop into. I don’t expect him to be a play maker, but if he can check well, kill some penalties, and pop in the occasional individualistic goal, he could carve out a long term future with the club.
