As one of the most "anti-Zadina" people around, I've always thought Tatar would be a decent comparable for him (Detroit Red Wings Tatar, 40-50 points per year. Rather than the Tatar that just put up close to a point per game this season). So I don't know how you look at a consistently falling prospect ranking to a 2nd line winger and feel vindicated about a top-6 pick.
I think Zadina's puck handling and passing should be better than Tatar.
I think Tatar has a better motor (not speed, but work ethic).
I also think Zadina's shot is ridiculously overrated.
I love that he loves to shoot, though. Even a guy with a less than great shot is going to score goals when they like to shoot as much as Zadina does.
