Jack Drury is 6 months younger than Chytil, and has barely scraped his way into the NHL.
-Consider this, Drury had a great season in the AHL last year with 52 points in 68 games. He turned 22 mid season.
-When Chytil just turned 18 (he has a september birthday), he put up 31 points in 46 AHL games. That's a .67 ppg pace compared to Drury's .76 ppg pace, at 3-4 years YOUNGER.
-This year, Drury's AHL production is actually behind Chytil's production at 18 at .64 ppg.
Now we can take into consideration that Chytil is on pace for a 50 point season in a 3rd line role, while Drury is behind a 50 point pace in the AHL.. you really have to add.
I get not wanting to give up Jarvis, but for NYR to give up Chytil, that's essentially what it would take for NYR to accept:
-NYR need an asset that is ready now not later since they are competing (eliminating Gunler, Suzuki, Trikozov or Rees as they aren't NHL ready)
-Drury simply just isn't enough as described above.
-Picks won't matter for another 3-5 years (especially considering they aren't 1st rounders, which where carolina is drafting is more like 2-3 years away still)
-Chytil is currently outperforming Jarvis (8 more points in 7 less games played)
Jarvis is only 2 years and 5 months younger than Chytil, and while Chytil needs a new contract this summer, Jarvis needs one next summer.
