Filip Zadina deserves better than the results he’s getting

Filip Zadina has had a rough go over his first few seasons in the NHL. The young Czech forward was drafted sixth overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He scored 82 points in 57 games with 44 goals in his draft year with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), and the scouts viewed him as a primarily offensive player who could play a complete game as well.

There was much to love about what he showed in his draft year and the years following in the AHL.
