Breaking Down the Top 3 Potential Destinations for Filip Zadina

Filip Zadina

The Detroit Red Wings are in a very unique spot. Being in rebuild mode but having many, many players currently without a contract, it leaves the organization at a loss. Additionally, they are also without a coach which means that Yzerman doesn’t have anyone to consult with about these upcoming decisions.

Determining a game-plan is important and right now, I’m not exactly sure what type of game-plan Yzerman is compiling. If I had to take a guess, I’d wager that he want’s to develop prospects and build from within the system. However, that means that there will have to be some moves made in order to make room for these prospects. Names like, but not limited too, Filip Zadina.

Filip Zadina’s Off-Season

Filip Zadina was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings during the 2018 NHL entry draft. The 22 year old forward has not quite found his footing with the Red Wings and therefore, now that his contract is up, he’s going to need a new one and I’m not so sure he’s worth it at this point.

Listed as a restricted free agent, the Red Wings do own the rights to him this season which may make it so they let him test out free agency and try and get something in return for him that way. But, that’s not the only reasonable option.
