[ZiGOODejad]

guys going to be good wish NYR had a pick high enough to get him

 

[SergeConstantin74]

The QMJHL suspended him for 2 games afterall but he will be able to play in the Top Prospects Game. Good decision.

 

[Passchendaele]

Goals #30, #31, #32 and #33 tonight.

[Mirinho]

such a good and talented player Zadina makes scoring soooo easy ...

 

[Hemsky001]

What a goal. #35 already

 

[Agent Zub]

how is his playmaking?

 

[Breakfast of Champs]

how is his playmaking?

He's a shooter for sure, can't really remember the last ''highlight'' reel pass or assist, but he certainly isn't overly selfish. He just knows his shot gives the team the best chance to score, and he uses it accordingly.

 

[Icebreakers]

How does he compare to a player like James Neal?

 

[WHISTLERNATE]

I can see him going anywhere from 2-5 in the draft. Really hoping he is around when the Canucks pick.

He’s not going 2nd and he’s probably not going 5th.

 

[izzy]

3rd or 4th

 

[Atoyot]

Is his nickname the Funky Cold Zadina yet? Because it should be.

 

[FrankMTL]

Zadina scored 2 more goals today giving him 39 in 46 games and a total of 69 points so far this year. Where does he rank in terms of play at the junior level compared to some of the other high profile Halifax Mooseheads former players?

Mackinnon
Hischier
Drouin
Meier
Ehlers
Voracek

From this list I would only put him ahead of Meier on their draft year. No slight against him because he's a fantastic player. That's some pretty stiff competition.

id put him right with or a bit ahead of ehlers. not saying zadina will get to the point is ehlers is now but just from watching them (saw a lot of ehlers in halifax but not too many games of zadina from draft years so he could just have good games when ive watched) id say zadina is a bit better

cant really comment on voracek though.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I really like this kid. Would be something to see him land with Eichel in Buffalo or McDavid in Edmonton as both are likely if the lotto balls don't fall on Dahlin. He' solidly in my top 6 prospects, which I deem a clear tier above the rest.

 

[Son of Petter]

Love this kid. Production this year is great and he was amazing at the world Jrs. Goes 2 or 3 if I’m picking.

 

[Cmac66]

Will probably go 3rd

the top-3 in this draft is so stacked. personally, id take any one of these top-3 players over any of last years top-3. the only reason id maybe consider hischier over one of the them is because hes a center, and the same goes with heiskanen being a d. but i think svech and zadina are both legit prime time wingers. theyre both absolutely amazing and itll be interesting to see who goes #2 and who goes #3, you honestly cant go wrong either way so regardless of the order it wont be a surprise.

cant wait to watch the lottery

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Zadina > Svechnikov IMO

 

[Agent Zub]

I wish he was just a little bit faster.

His top speed seems to be his only weakness. And that's not say that his speed his bad, he's actually pretty good, but it noticeably lags behind his other skills and his agility.

However, he seems to be hard working and determined enough to become a plus--skater at the NHL level.

This top three might be better than 2016 and all in all, it might be better than 2015 if Dahlin lives up to hit with Strome not doing squat.

You'd have to go back to 2009 to have a draft as good as this one IMO. Tavares, Hedman and Duchene.

He's sluggish too and he likes to slow the pace of the game so it doesnt help. Reminds me a lot of Kovalev and Radulov in the way they play. Not fast, but agile as hell, sluggish too, but super strong. Older version of Jagr might be a good comparison too.
