Zadina is Yzermans new Drouin

[Shultzyfeelinirie25]

He's gotta go. He is literally like worse than filpula he's shows nothing to make me think he's going to get better what could we get for him? He acts likes he's scared to have the puck.

No. Drouin was a malcontent that didn’t want to be in Tampa. Zadina is not that way

I’m glad someone else made this point. I wasn’t going to be as polite about it

True, he's just not good at producing offense.

I

No. Drouin was a malcontent that didn’t want to be in Tampa. Zadina is not that way[/QUOTE I guess I was meaning he's gotta be in Steve's doghouse like if Yzerman were to trade someone I bet it's him

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Should have taken Bouchard.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Zadina isn’t in Yzerman’s doghouse. He’s in shultzy’s dogshouse.

Yzerman puts guys in his doghouse when they have some issue with his exec team or coaching staff or they lack for effort even when called out.

MSL: Explicitly butted heads with Yzerman about Team Canada and usage on the Lightning.
Drouin: butted heads on contract and usage in Tampa.
Mantha: clearly was given an ultimatum when he received his LT deal to skate with a purpose and last year… didn’t up to Yzerman’s level so he dealt him to Washington.

 

[Frk It]

Would be cool if we let him play a whole season here first.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Should have taken Bouchard.

Pick would and should have been Hughes if it wasn’t Zadina.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

At least Drouin can score, What's Zadina's excuse?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Should have taken Bouchard.

Over Hughes?

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Over Hughes?

Absolutely.

 

[lilidk]

Zadina is not a star ,we ones expect, but whole team is bad, everything starts with coach, we have for ,2 more years

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Absolutely.

Don't agree.

 

[Retire91]

Kinda lost faith in Zadina a while ago looks like some are still coming to terms

I hope he can become a serviceable player, but when I see people projecting him in our top 6 I always read it with a sense of doubt.

I don't see a single parallel between him and Drouin.

 

[Bench]

I don't see a single parallel between him and Drouin.

On top of that, Yzerman didn't even draft him.

 

[Gniwder]

More like Brett Connolly. Maybe he'll find his game as a 3rd liner on a stacked team somewhere.

BC was traded for 2 second rounders, I'm not even sure Zadina can fetch that return right now.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

On top of that, Yzerman didn't even draft him.

Nope Ken Holland did in his last draft year in Detroit. And that's looking like a major mistake now.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Should have taken Bouchard.

No way i'd take Bouchard over Hughes.

If Zadina skated like Drouin...

 

[Lil Bert]

I want to chalk it up to lack of any good luck but everytime he touches the puck something bad happens. An aired pass, blocked shot, fumbled deke. It's getting really tiring to watch a 6th overall pick turn into a consistent liability.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

In terms of on-ice performance, Zadina is far closer to Erne than we should feel comfortable with.

 

[MBH]

I don't think Zadina is a liability.
But I don't think he's very good.
I remember people thought I was trolling when i said his value would be Tomas Tatar-deluxe.
At this point, Tomas Tatar value would look good.

 

[FMichael]

Should have taken Bouchard.

Could of had Hughes.

Really? In 7 seasons he's scored 4, 4, 21, 13, 18, 7, 2.

I mean, Zadina's career high is 8, but thats still better then the majority of Drouin's seasons.
