Filip Zadina is scoring in the AHL, but when will he get a chance to do so in NHL? FIlmed Nov. 15, 2018 in Ottawa, Ont. Helene St. James, Detroit Free Press
OTTAWA, Ont. — The night he was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings, Filip Zadina spoke of how he’d “fill the nets” of teams who passed on him.
One of the teams that did so was the Ottawa Senators, who drafted Brady Tkachuk at fourth overall, two spots before the Wings nabbed Zadina at six. Zadina had been projected to go as high as third, but Montreal picked Jesperi Kotkaniemi at that spot, and Arizona selected Barrett Hayton at fifth.
