I'm just glad he isn't a Red Wings anymore . . .

What Raymond is accomplishing is what they thought Zadina would also be that same top line threat. Zadina immediately added more pressure on himself by saying he would fill opponents nets with pucks. Detroit wanted Evan Bouchard as their next prospect if Zadina was gone. Tragic

Could have had Quinn Hughes.. Holland…

They did not want Quinn Hughes as it was leaked out about a year ago. Evan Bouchard was second on their list if Zadina was gone. Zadina was still there. Imagine Bouchard's talent out there on D instead of the likes of Petry?

@@ericscottstevens We're glad Holland had the opportunity to move to a team where he could build around the strong offense he always wanted.

People keep saying how it's admirable, how he bet on himself... I frankly disagree. Detroit gave him a golden opportunity AND a contract he never earned, they paid him for potential, and they paid him well. He never successfully took the opportunities that Detroit handed him. And if you don't perform on a rebuilding team, you are gonna get passed by. Zadina got passed by and couldn't stomach it. For the Wings, he was an AHL player. That hurt his ego so he want elsewhere, someplace where he was almost guaranteed to make the roster. I don't think the Sharks view Zadina as a piece of their future. He's probably a passer by player for them. People keep praising him for saying no to millions.... I see a player who said no to a great up and coming situation in Detroit, one he could have worked hard to be a part off and maybe make the playoffs very soon, because of pride and ego. I've spent time with his Quebec family home when he played here in the Q.... Being cocky is good when you can back it up. Zadina has not backed it up in the NHL.

Yep. There's still a lot of dead weight on the Wings roster. Coach/Mgr have to get those 2nd and 3rd lines SCORING!!! You simply can't win Stanley with one good scoring line. Not any more.

As a Sharks fan, the guy is still young and he played well for us. I give him props for leaving money on the table because he had so much confidence in himself. On a team with hardly any confidence, this is the type of guy you want on your team

Steve Yzerman once said you can draft 10 players and you would be lucky to get one solid NHL'er out of the 10. Zadina will be out of the NHL in a couple of years, he doesn't have the work ethic.

@@jenn1388 19-20 season called and they'd like to have a word with you. Zadina was partially on that season. so him going thru hell that season and next and wanting a change of scenery from one of the worst teams in salary cap era, and then moving to now one of the worst teams again is funny.

I'll take Sprong and Fischer over Zadina any day.

"Best pick available," says Holland. [rage]

There were tremendous hypes around Zadina (6th overall 2018) and Puljujärvi (4th overall 2016) during their respective draft years. However, neither panned out. Playing pro probably require more investment of efforts from the drafted players.

I felt un easy about the pick from day one. there was a reason why he slipped so far.

Hindsight is something else isn't it? Holland suckkked toward the end of his tenure in Detroit.

Yeah he did.. I’m intrigued at how long it will take him to get a Cup with McDavid, or better yet to even make it to a final.

I keep thinking, we could have had Quinn Hughes, but during the draft when I saw Zadina drop I was excited

We could've had a 90 point defenseman instead

I don't blame Zadina for his decision and I wish him the best. sad Donut probably right about this being a W just because he's got a full time gig in the NHL now locked down for now, even if he doesn't perform. That said, looking at the wings roster this year, Zadina MAY have been better off here. I haven't thought about it enough to really know how lines would've shaken out and where he would've played most of the year but the Wings took a huge leap in scoring this year and with people like Kane and Shayne coming in, along with Raymond blossoming how he has, who knows what could've been if Zadina had accepted one more contract with Detroit

I hope he can do well for the Sharks, and grow into the player he wanted to be when the Habs passed him over.

Zadina showed some flashes of high-end skill this season but was too inconsistent. He might be more productive if he had better teammates. I wouldn't mind resigning Zadina for 1 more year to see what he can do.

Nah, I very glad he is no longer with Detroit.

He’ll get 1.5m somewhere. 13 goals can help a few teams

Red Wings eating clam chowder is all I get from this

I can not help but think that Zadina will regret leaving millions of dollars on the table later in life. He turned down life changing money.

What line has zadina been playing on for san jose

Didn’t pay off this year, but I’d pay him 1.1mill for another season… maybe he’ll turn it around and become that 6th overall pick, but not holding my breath.

Zadina is literally Yakupov. Exact copy of players. It's pretty mind boggling because they had all the tools!!!

He did us all a favour by taking himself out of the picture. Addition by subtraction. Wish him well in San Jose, but can't say I miss him missing wide open nets.

I remember screaming at the TV because they didn’t pick Hughes. Idiots, they needed a defenseman so bad.

Funny how he was on the team that only won 17 games in 2020 then in another team that won 19 games current year

-44--Worst plus/minus on the worst team!

Was it worth it? Let’s be real, in another world Zadina stays with the Wings and then he gets traded to the sharks anyway just like his replacement Klim Kostin was. Snore

develop defense positioning and transition offense passing

I think Zadina needs a stint in the AHL to develop a little more. Yeah, he's not bad, but he's also not good either. There is a reason when we tried to give him away for free no one would take him.

Another Holland flop. Could have had Hughes.

We rejected him

Id resign him 1 year deal

He's a bust, said he would fill the net of every team who passed on him but right now he's filling the trashcan with tears

number uno

If he wants an AHL contract come back to Grand Rapids 😂

No

He had a bad attitude from the start, thought too highly of himself, was standoffish in interviews. I was never impressed with his shot, nothing special, very inaccurate for the NHL, lots of goals on bad goalies, has no ability to self create, very predictable player. At best he could be a lifetime AHL top scorer, but his ego is too big for that so likely he'll be in the KHL soon. 🗑️ Bucket, last draft failure of the most overrated redwings GM of all time, thanks Holland, a guy who might as well made haakan Anderson the GM because he was the guy who brought you any real talent in the zetterbeg datayuk years, not Holland, whos other draft picks were total failures.
