What to do with Filip Zadina

To say that Filip Zadina’s first three seasons in the NHL have been underwhelming would be an understatement. The former sixth overall pick for the Detroit Red Wings was drafted to be a goal-scorer and so far, he has been anything but. His 2021-22 season was a massive disappointment as he managed just 10 goals and 14 assists in 74 games, including an 18-game goalless drought mid-season. While his struggles in 2020-21 could often be attributed to poor luck, this past season was a rough one for the man who once claimed he’d fill the nets of the teams who passed on him.
