Hopefully Zadina's is faster.I think puljujarvi may be a good comparable in terms of development

I'm disappointed... IN the organization. He should be on the team honestly I don't get it. You don't draft him really if you dont think he's capable of playing day 1.
Evan Bouchard should prolly be on this team right now if Zadina wasn't/isn't good enough to crack the lineup year 1.
Idk, also just about had it with Blashill and crew honestly. I get Ehn is young but wow... Ehn over Zadina for a checking role with Adelkader on a 2nd or 3rd line? Idk... really dumbing this team down imo.
Yea they should've only been thinking about the 18-19 opening day roster when they picked this player.I'm disappointed... IN the organization. He should be on the team honestly I don't get it. You don't draft him really if you dont think he's capable of playing day 1.

You make it sound like he's already had a disappointing year.Man, people are (obviously) still very high on Zadina and like bringing up the "top 3 talent" thing.
I'm going to be patient, but I'm really worried about the pick right now and can't help but compare him to Yakupov in the sense that if Yakupov fell to #6 when he was a "#1 talent", people would be losing their minds about what great value it was and there would be no way it wouldn't work.
He still would have been a bad pick if he fell to 6, and we should be evaluating Zadina based on his actual play and not his pre-draft rankings

I've just looked through a list of Red Wings draft picks - Was Yzerman the last Red Wings player to make the team right out of the draft?
A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that he just isn't that smart in terms of hockey. Great physical skills, no hockey IQ.Except Yakupov probably would've been a pretty good player if Edmonton hadn't rushed him and given him stuff he clearly wasn't ready for...
Obviously there's room for misremembering here, but people like Bowman and other Wings players during the 2002 camp claim to remember Datsyuk as something special right away. In interviews year after the fact, they say they saw his talent right then and there. Didn't show up right away, but they could tell he was special.I believe that is correct. Zetterberg didn't. Datsyuk didn't. Even players like them needed more time to develop. That's why there is no need to worry or complain.
And since I got the ball rolling, I might as well continue to pile on and get all my frustrations out now.
Can we talk about this play?
Ugly play by the defender, but he missed. Zadina barely got brushed. He stays down on the ice and goes to the locker room with the trainer. And surprise! He's completely fine and doesn't miss a shift. Just another red flag in my mind of a player I've been very disappointed in so far in this short time
I don't know what is better for Zadina. AHL is a man league , playing 10 minutes with the best or playing 15-20 minutes with target on his back. Playing 1 extra year with juniors or playing somewhere in Europe I think is better for him
Datsyuk was like 22 at that time.. if Zadina doesn't look like anything special at 22, I'll worry.Obviously there's room for misremembering here, but people like Bowman and other Wings players during the 2002 camp claim to remember Datsyuk as something special right away.

Obviously that's a HIGH bar, but Zadina didn't seem that special to me. But we'll see. I'm not worried about it yet.
It doesn't take much contact on your knee to make you feel off for a little bit.Ugly play by the defender, but he missed. Zadina barely got brushed.
