Chytil (concussion) feels 100 percent going into the offseason, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil missed the final 16 outings of the Canucks' campaign due to the concussion. He had 13 goals and 26 points across 56 outings between the Rangers and Vancouver in 2024-25. Chytil has completed the second season of his four-year, $17.75 million contract, which runs through 2026-27. He'll likely start next season serving in a middle-six capacity.

Chytil (concussion) probably won't be back before the end of the 2024-25 regular season, per Harman Dayal of The Athletic on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil has missed the last eight games and will likely sit out the final eight outings of the 2024-25 campaign. If the Canucks make the playoffs, Chytil will probably miss additional action. He is poised to finish the year with 13 goals, 26 points and 133 shots on net in 56 appearances between the Canucks and Rangers.

Chytil (concussion) didn't travel with the Canucks ahead of Thursday's game against the Blues, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks begin a six-game road trip Thursday, but Chytil will be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup due to a concussion. It's not yet clear whether he'll join the team later in the road trip, but his next chance to suit up will be Saturday against the Rangers.

Chytil (concussion) won't play against Utah on Sunday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks will see how Chytil feels over the next 48 hours before determining if he will travel for the team's upcoming six-game road trip. Due to concussion protocol, Chytil will presumably miss Tuesday's game against Winnipeg. Jonathan Lekkerimaki will likely replace Chytil in Sunday's lineup.

Chytil (upper body) left Saturday's 6-2 win over Chicago late in the third period and there was no update on his status after game, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil stumbled when he attempted to get off the ice, which wasn't a good sign, given his concussion history. The 25-year-old forward has two goals and four assists in 15 games with the Canucks since being acquired from the Rangers in late January. If Chytil can't play against Utah on Sunday, Jonathan Lekkerimaki will probably be in the lineup.

Chytil scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil hadn't scored over the last seven games after finding twine in his Canucks debut on Feb. 2. He's earned a total of six points over nine appearances with his new team, and he's at 13 goals, 26 points, 116 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 50 contests this season. Chytil has settled in nicely on the second line and first power-play unit, and he should be considered in fantasy formats where the focus is on scoring output.

Chytil notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
This was Chytil's first multi-point effort as a Canuck, as he had a hand in both of Conor Garland's goals Wednesday. Through seven games since he was traded from the Rangers, Chytil has racked up five points and 21 shots on net while filling a second-line role. Overall, he's at 12 goals, 13 assists, 110 shots on net and a plus-3 rating across 48 appearances this season, but it's clear he has more scoring upside in Vancouver than he did on Broadway thanks to his larger role with his new team.

Chytil logged an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil again had the most ice time among Vancouver's centers in his second game with the team. The 25-year-old has added two points and six shots on net since he was traded from the Rangers, and it appears the change of scenery has helped him land a larger role. Chytil is now at 22 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 42 appearances this season. Fantasy managers should at least have an eye on Chytil to see if he can sustain his offense in the long run -- he could be a strong addition off the waiver wire for the stretch run.

Chytil scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil's goal came after a Red Wing failed to clear the puck after a poke-check, with it landing right on Chytil's stick. The 25-year-old danced around the rest of the defense and flung home his first goal as a Canuck in his team debut. The center also logged 20:03 of ice time, most among Vancouver centers, and won nine of his 12 faceoffs. The Canucks have an opening for second-line center following the trade that saw Chytil swap teams with J.T. Miller, and Chytil made a good first impression to earn that spot over Pius Suter, who also scored but went 5-for-16 on faceoffs from the third line. Overall, Chytil has 12 goals, 21 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 42 appearances this season. Given his role and the talent around him, he's worth considering for fantasy.

Chytil was traded to the Canucks from the Rangers on Friday, along with Victor Mancini and a protected first-round draft pick, in exchange for J.T. Miller, Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington, Larry Brooks of the New York Post and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet report.
EDGE Analysis
Chytil will be the NHL player to replace Miller on the Canucks' roster. In his own right, Chytil has performed at a decent level on the Rangers' third line, earning 20 points over 41 appearances this season. He topped out at 45 points over 74 games in 2022-23. Once Chytil joins the Canucks, likely ahead of Sunday's game versus the Red Wings, he'll compete with Pius Suter for second-line minutes. More playing time could help Chytil's scoring output, but it likely won't elevate him to the level of widespread fantasy relevance.
