Filip Chytil has officially signed with the New York Rangers, the team announced Friday.
The Rangers selected Chytil 21st in this year's draft. The forward spent last season with Zlin of the Czech Extraliga, recording eight points in 38 games.
He later represented the Czech Republic at the under-18s, netting five points in five games.
Chytil's signing comes one day after New York agreed to terms with forward Lias Andersson, who was selected seventh overall this year.
