F Filip Zadina - Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL (2018, 6th, DET)

[newfy]

Whats next years rookie class look like? He might have a decent shot at the calder if he plays. If he scores 20 goals and 50 points (which I could see) and no otherrookies really tear up. Its tough for dmen to get noticed as a rookie compared to a winger.

I would bet on Svechnikov or Pettersson (if he makes Vancouver??) but Zadina is a decent somewhat dark horse I would think

I have a really hard time seeing him out-produce Svechnikov. Svech will probably also get a bigger role this season.

There's this kid Dahlin.

 

[SevenOfSpades]

There's this kid Dahlin.

It's still very difficult for a D to win the Calder. I'd give those other guys better odds at the start of the season.

Same here. But injuries happen and so do cold streaks. I think it would take an injury for him to beat Svechnikov, so thats why I said hes a darkhorse. Svech is my odds on favourite to win it next year

There's this kid Dahlin.

Yeah what i said about dmen having a harder time winning was directed at Dahlin. Would i be surprised if he won? Not at all, but its harder to stick out as a young D.

I dont see how Zadina does not play NHL next fall.

 

[schnapshot]

is donato eligible ?
if yes its him

The same Donato who was a healthy scratch for all but three of Boston’s playoff games last season?

Lack of strength?

 

[Ezekial]

He is indeed eligible.

 

[Christien]

Lack of strength?

He’s not very weak. He’s almost 200 lbs and he’ll have all summer to hit the gym

Hes weak though. Couldnt win a board battle in the Q.

Whatever you say man

Hopefully he shows up to training camp stronger.

Good God somebody has a hard on for criticizing him...

Well, the man did make it a point to put on record that Berggren would be the best player in our draft. So let him have his opinion.

 

[Mrb1p]

Good God somebody has a hard on for criticizing him...

Well, sure. But this guy is also not wrong.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Well, sure. But this guy is also not wrong.

 

[Mrb1p]

No really, Zadina is not perfect. He has some flaws, its normal.

Every player does. Doesn't mean he's not NHL ready.

 

[Mrb1p]

True. Never said otherwise, I corrected a poster that was wrong.

Cept maybe he doesn't know how to utilize it. He wasnt especially dominant boardwise from what I see so it could be just learning to use it effectively.

he is pretty weak! no knock on him he's a steal at 6. i'm the guy who keeps bringing he can't win a single battle against board vs 16-21 year old from the Q, been saying it for almost 3 month straight. when there was rumor about Montreal interrested in him i watched a 3hours Shift by shift my eyes not missing a second. he does not make people around him better, he's the pure definition of a complimentary winger, But he's wrist shot... elite NHL ready in power and accuracy! Give him a Good center and a guy who works hard to retreive puck and feed him and he'll do just fine!

It's strange, he was pretty good along the boards at the WJC.

 

[kudla]

where will he play next season?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

where will he play next season?

The Wings have petitioned the NHL to make him AHL eligible is the latest we have heard in Detroit.

I also wonder if Europe is an option. They seem to want him to play in a Men's league next year. Of course that is if he doesn't make the team outright anyway.
