Updated: Wings sending Zadina to WJC

[Inspiration]

There a good article by Katie Strang in The Athletic about the Red Wings' decision to release Zadina for the WJC. I won't quote the whole article, but this is great to hear:

“He still has consistency issues; he knows that,” [Ryan] Martin said, “but I cannot recall a player, maybe Tyler Bertuzzi, who has the same want and desire to get better and who wants to be told what to do to get to the next level. He’s the first to acknowledge his mistakes, when he needs more film work, more skill development. He wants to fix it. It’s incredible, his want and desire to get better.”

Why the Red Wings believe sending Filip Zadina to World...

Compared to what has been said about Mantha, this ^^ is refreshing to hear.

Seems like Hladonik is the playmaking center on that "Zadina"-line and Machala more of defensive player.
