Recalled/Assigned: Zadina to make NHL debut Sunday

[Oddbob]

The countdown begins to 500

NO! Aim for 700!

For a flashy kid, he makes a lot of good simple plays. He looks pretty small out there which surprised me. Hoping he can fill out a bit like Larkin.

He's noticeably smart at using his body and is always looking to go towards the middle which is a nice change of pace from most of our wingers. That's how you score and win games. Not dipsy doodling on the perimeter.

I've also noticed some heady plays on the rush when he is without the puck. Looking to switch with or trail the puck carrier to confuse the defense.

We just need to keep adding talent man... there is a light at the end of the tunnel with these kids. If we could land Hughes we are well on our way to having something special here (or at least watchable hockey lol). Consider me excited

Not sure if it's totally fair to compare the two, but Zadina seems more ready than Rasmussen to me. Zadina is certainly more noticeable to me on the ice anyways.

Zadina not NHL ready. Rasmussen not given opportunities to play in the top line. It's all learning period for both of them. Rasmussen with Rose looked very good yesterday. Next year Rasmussen should be in first line and Zadina should start in GR

Yeah, it's a learning period for both for sure.

Think Zadina will make the team outta camp next season though. Guess we'll see.

I dont know how you cna watch Zadina the last 2 months, give him a full offseason and then still say he should be in Grand Rapids next year. I'll wait to see him in camp next year but after a full offseason I highly doubt he isnt up with the wings full time next year.

Rasmussen has done nothing to warrant being in the first line. And zadina hasn't been with the first line either. They're both playing with terrible linemates.

I don't think its that far fetched TBH. I would say 33 percent chance he starts the season there.

i'd say at this point it greatly depends on how he does in the playoffs down in Grand Rapids

if he has a good run he's probably a near lock to make the team barring a really bad camp and preseason

otherwise it's probably pretty close to a coin flip

As we've seen with youngsters currently in the line up. If Zadina starts really hot in GR, he'll immidiately be called up to the team. Its the way things went with Mantha, Bert and Hronek's second call up this season as well.

 

[Dotter]

Zadina has exceeded my expectations so far in this stint. He needs to gain muscle for sure.

 

[Sadekuuro]

He's obviously not physically mature yet but you can see him growing more comfortable with the pace each game, which bodes well. He looks overwhelmed less often and is anticipating plays. I think he's beginning to realize what it takes to succeed at this level.

The way Zadina looks so far in his call-up I would say it's a major shock if he isn't a full-time Red Wing next season. It's fairly easy to see he adds an element of skill we're sorely lacking, especially after trading Nyquist.

8 games done , time to go to GR. Hope next year for much improved Zadina, good luck kid

He gets one more game.
