Filip Chytil: our analysis
2024-25 season: 15 GP, 2 G, 4 A, 6 PTS, -11 +/-, 16:42 TOI. WAR 0.9 (163rd of 596) · PAL 57, around average.
In 2024-25, Filip Chytil, 27, posts a PAL Rating of 57 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of 0.9 ranks 163rd among 596 regulars, in the top half.
His strengths: discipline (95, among the best in the league), creation (77, well above average) and possession (70, above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (25, well below average) and defense (32, below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+2.6); his biggest cost: finishing (-1.2).
A marked decline: his PAL was 68 in 2022-23, against 57 now; his WAR, though, went from 0.8 to 0.9.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 39 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Filip Chytil's story
Growing up in Kroměříž, Chytil broke into senior hockey as a teenager, logging 38 games for PSG Zlín in the 2016–17 Extraliga season and producing 4 goals and 4 assists — totals that ranked him near the top among under‑18 players in that league.
A top prospect for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, he was chosen 21st overall by the New York Rangers and shortly afterward was picked 7th in the CHL Import Draft by the North Bay Battalion. On 14 July 2017 he signed a three‑year entry‑level contract to begin his North American career.
Impressive showings at New York’s training camp earned him local recognition as the camp’s top rookie and a spot on the Rangers’ opening roster for 2017–18. He split time between the NHL club and the Hartford Wolf Pack in the AHL; after a recall late in March 2018 he scored his first NHL goal on 30 March. The Rangers extended him twice, first to a two‑year deal on 29 July 2021 and later to a four‑year extension on 29 March 2023.
Chytil’s seasons have included several concussions that led to stints on injured reserve, including an injury on 2 November 2023 and a setback that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2023–24 regular season on 28 January 2024 before he returned for Game 3 of the second round on 9 May 2024. On 31 January 2025 he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks as part of a multi‑player deal that also involved a conditional 2025 first‑round pick.
At the junior international level, he was part of the Czech under‑18 squad that captured gold at the 2016 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. Professionally he is known as a centre who has transitioned from European pro hockey to a regular role in North American organisations, with his development shaped by both opportunities at the NHL level and interruptions due to head injuries.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2024-25
How we rate →PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.

Hockey IQ, 2024-25
Rankings and method →The quality of the player's decisions with and against the puck at 5-on-5, against regulars at the same position (50 = average). PAL measures output; IQ measures how the player plays.
