Description

Not sure how Wild or Wings fans will feel about this.
My thinking is Zadina could use a change, something Friedman was rambling about. No doubt Zadina is Immensely talented.
Wild need to move a big contract or they really can't afford Fiala.
Redwings get Fiala and pair him with Larkin and live happily ever after.
Wild lose Fiala but possibly get a player who could be better and stave off their salary cap crunch a bit longer.
Boldy can play with anyone so maybe he can unlock Zadina.

Fiala isn't a 2nd rd pick better than Zadina.

Zadina is playing good hockey and is only 22.

I don't see him being traded before Vrana returns because they had good chemistry.

With the amount of wingers Detroit has if they trade Zadina they would be looking for a center or LD.

I’d take this in a heartbeat, the chances of whatever player Yzerman could get with that 2nd rounder or Zadina becoming as good as Fiala aren’t too high, and he seems to fit the age range of our current core. I know Zadina still has promise but I can’t see him reaching it with the Wings at this point. He’s better off with a fresh start to get his mind right.

To be honest, I think Fiala for Zadina one for one is pretty good. Maybe a small add, but I like the idea.

And similar to the bertuzzi idea, the wild get a cost controlled player who will be fairly cheap. Of course, they have to bank on zadina achieving his upside in a system where Blashill isn’t trying to make him something he’s not (like aa, like Mantha, etc.)
