Brandon Cohen – Filip Chytil

If you know me at all, you know that Filip Chytil is the prospect I am most excited about. Sure it is part of my brand or whatever, but Chytil is also the most talented prospect in the system.

It’s been widely rumored that if Chytil was born a couple of weeks later, he would have been a top 10 pick next season. Watching him play in the Rangers prospect tournaments, Chytil looked like a men among boys, despite being one of the youngest players there.

Chytil is a brilliant player who recognizes how to use his size to his advantage. Unlike other prospects, his ceiling is what’s most exciting rather than what we already know. Potential is so much fun, and with Chytil, it’s a “go big or go home” mentality. We’re going big. We’re going Filip Chytil.
