Yeah but have you seen the points he’s gotten? A lot of them are rebound goals or not very pretty. He doesn’t really deserve any of them.
Only highlight reel goals count

It's basically prospect/draft rubber-banding. Tons of fans said Ottawa was idiotic for taking Tkachuk over him, (And to a lesser extent, Hayton/Arizona) and it was probably the biggest talking point of the draft, but since Tkachuk has looked excellent, the microscope is fully on Zadina now.The obsession with Zadina is insane. So many stat watchers.
I would suggest go and read !Bull****.

If there is a chance to sign Stone, then sign him. He's a righty, still young kid and style of play fits team identity. Panarin would great, but idon't believe he wants come here. I predict he goes to Florida.

And my response was
What in the name of god makes you think Zedina is any where close to playing on the first line the NHL? He will be lucky to get full time 1st line in the A next year.
But you are right it was bull****! And that is just one of them that thinks/thought he was playing in the NHL this year.
Which is funny when you think that all the ''pro'' commentators were saying Dahlin, Svechnikov and Zadina were the most NHL ready. Got to take everything with a grain of salt.My “bull****” response to you was in response to you saying 9 out of 10 wings fans on the page thought he would be on the wings. I doubt there’s even 9 wings fans on the site who thought that. The general consensus was a few years in the AHL.
I understand you. It's always sad to see a player expelled from the league for scoring ugly goals. More so an 18 year old kid.Yeah but have you seen the points he’s gotten? A lot of them are rebound goals or not very pretty. He doesn’t really deserve any of them.
He lives in the head of a few Habs fans. They won't let him out to play hockey.
You don't even want to go back and read the shit I took saying that in his draft thread then. was called all sorts of good stuff for saying he would be in the A for at least a year.My “bull****” response to you was in response to you saying 9 out of 10 wings fans on the page thought he would be on the wings. I doubt there’s even 9 wings fans on the site who thought that. The general consensus was a few years in the AHL.
I remember when PLD was a bust after his draft +1 season and dismal WJC.
I see we haven't learned.
Those people never learn to give these kids time to develop.
That's MEE!I believe he's mocking the genius in the Zadina thread that spent several pages trying to explain how Zadina's production was irrelevant because he scored points off lucky rebounds/deflections and **** ups by the opposing team.
As if every player doesn't get these kind of points...
For the record, those "hot takes" in this thread are sarcastically mocking my hot takes from his prospect thread.My favorite hot take in this thread is his goals were lucky since they were rebounds. I mean that's one of Zadinas strengths. He's never been a flashy goal scorer (he has his moments) but the dudes bread and butter is either finding soft spaces to get his shot off or knowing where the puck will be going to pounce in for a rebound goal or a goal in a scrum.
while playing for Czech, averaged just 2 assists in the whole tourney.
And if he was playing in the Q right now he would be the best player in the CHL and no one would be saying anything. Instead hes having a solid AHL rookie season. WJC is irrelevant to me. That whole Czech team was poorly coached and no one scored on that team. Plus Zadina was just returning from injury
Relax, hes progressing fine
Well you can't pick up, you kind of have to keep to your plan.
What was Detroit's plan entering the draft? Defensemen.
Yeah but have you seen the points he’s gotten? A lot of them are rebound goals or not very pretty. He doesn’t really deserve any of them.
I think he's 1917 points in 28 games is pretty good production for an 18 year old. What are you smoking
