Former Red Wings top pick Filip Zadina signs 1-year deal with Sharks

Filip Zadina is taking his talents to the West Coast.

The former Detroit Red Wings winger on Monday signed a one-year deal with the San Jose Sharks worth $1.1 million, according to a release from the team.

Zadina, 23, signed a three-year extension with the Red Wings last season worth $1.825 million annually. He became an unrestricted free agent last week after clearing waivers for the purpose of mutual contract termination, leaving nearly $4 million on the table in order to get a fresh start.

It didn't take him long to find a new home.
