A Look At Filip Zadina

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

The Wings have a home-and-home with the Ottawa Senators this weekend, a timely opportunity to address Zadina. He famously said, the night he was drafted No. 6 in 2018, that he would "fill the nets with pucks" of the teams who passed on him after he was projected to go as high as third overall. Those who passed on Zadina were the Montreal Canadiens at No. 3 (Jesperi Kotkaniemi, now with Carolina); the Senators at No. 4 (Brady Tkachuk) and the Arizona Coyotes (Barret Hayton). Zadina had 44 goals and 38 assists in 57 games with Halifax in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in his draft year and was known for his shot.
