Sides Still Trying To Figure Out Where Filip Zadina Will Play If Not In Detroit

from Gregg Krupa of the Detroit News,

Where can Zadina play in 2018-19?

We will know if a few weeks, maybe.

A bunch of lawyers are working on it.

At issue: Is Zadina a European player, or is he a Canadian major junior player?

The key, GM Ken Holland told The Detroit News on Friday, is the agreement that got Zadina from playing in the Czech Republic in 2016-17, to the roster of the Halifax Mooseheads, in Nova Scotia, in 2017-18.

Different NHL eligibility applies to European players and players in the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), a major junior association for 16- to 20-year-olds.
