Detroit Red Wings: Evaluating the Filip Zadina Hype Train

Filip Zadina is a gifted two-way player from the Czech Republic. Zadina is a good but not quite great (above average) skater. Zadina is in hockey terms a sniper. His shots find the back of the net, that fills a much-needed role for the Detroit Red Wings.

Zadina has a feel for finding the soft areas on the ice and burying the puck. He is a playmaker pure and simple. He has very soft hands and uses them very well.

Filip Zadina is not afraid to take shots. He takes a lot of them, forcing teams to place two bodies on him leaving teammates open.
