Former New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil opens up about being apart of the Vancouver Canucks organization, without holding back he really revealed his true feelings.
The New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks have recently combined for a blockbuster trade, which saw J.T. Miller go to the Rangers, and Filip Chytil to the Canucks. Ever since Chytil showed up in Vancouver he has fully embraced the challenge.
Former Rangers forward Filip Chytil only has amazing things about the Vancouver Canucks organization
When it was announced that Filip Chytil was the main trade piece coming back to the Canucks for J.T. Miller it shocked many fans. However it all seems to be working out for both sides.
A quick glance at Chytil's career stats would back that same story. He'd never played more than 16 minutes per night or scored more than 45 points in a season during his seven-and-a-half years with the Rangers. Those numbers don't scream top-six. - Noah Strang
Through Chytil's first 3 games with the his new team, he has been given a much bigger responsibility and he seems to be thriving with it.
Canucks Head coach Rick Tocchet clearly sees a lot of potential in 25-year-old forward, giving him 2 straight games with 20 minutes of ice time, something he has not got once this season with the Rangers.
«There's definitely [another] level there,» continued Tocchet. «You can tell he wants to show there's another level, and as a coaching staff, we want to help him get there. He's got the characteristics of a guy that can be a 200-foot, tall, lanky centreman.»
After his first three appearances, Chytil has truly expressed his feelings towards the organization, here's what he had to say:
«When I arrived and I saw the setup we've got here, the locker room, and then the next day I saw all the guys and all the people around, it was so nice. Everyone welcomed me. From day one, they've been so nice to me, helping me so much. It's great. I really appreciate it from them.»
«I was very happy that I could play that many minutes both games,» Chytil told Daily Hive in an exclusive interview. «In my career so far, I didn't play [as] many minutes like the last two games.»
«The more I'm playing, I feel more confident; I feel much better on the puck. It's been good, and hopefully, it's going to keep going like this.»

Definitely great to see Chytil enjoying his new team, and becoming a crucial member of the organization.
