It's official: Red Wings terminate former top prospect Filip Zadina's contract

Detroit — The Red Wings and Filip Zadina are officially divorced.

Zadina cleared unconditional waivers Friday for the purposes of mutual contract termination.

For the Wings, that will remove the annual average value (salary cap hit) of $1.825 million for the next two years on Zadina’s contract, as well as the $4.56 million in actual money that is owed to Zadina, who now becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Zadina, 23, can sign with any interested team, and there is indication some teams will be calling Zadina — but at a likely lower salary.
