Fabian Zetterlund appeared to have star potential when he was standing out on an awful San Jose Sharks team. However, Zetterlund's game has dropped heavily since he was traded to the Ottawa Senators in March 2025.
Zetterlund is in his first year of his three-year contract, which was signed this past June. It appeared to be a win for both parties at the time of the signing. However, it may be time to consider Zetterlund as trade bait with how disappointing his tenure has been in Ottawa.

Zetterlund panned out with scoring 41 goals combined in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons in San Jose.
