NHL 2025-26 Shockers: Game-Changing Trades and Unexpected Stars Set to Rewrite the Season
All summer, the offseason discussion in Vancouver was about the club’s pursuit of a second-line center behind Elias Pettersson. The Canucks weren’t able to land an upgrade, leaving Chytil to be their de facto 2C. I’m predicting that Chytil, between the breakout potential he has with his offensive production, his secondary value as a play driver and positional premium as a center, will be Vancouver’s second-most-valuable forward this season, provided he can stay healthy. If anything, the conversation could shift to the Canucks targeting a 3C behind Chytil rather than a 2C ahead of him. — Harman Dayal
