Thread: 2022 TDL and offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>Quick? How long has Detroit been waiting on Zadina? Are we waiting until he's 30? It's the same every season. He's only 20. He's only 21. He's only 22. Then it'll be "He's only 23. He's only 24." Guy was drafted 6th OA to score goals. He has 4 this season. He's had lots of PP time. 2nd line ice time. Blashill literally has given him a million chances and doesn't know what to do with him.

It's like Red Wings fans are grasping at every straw they can find to justify drafting Zadina 6th OA and not drafting Hughes, Bouchard or Dobson. He's a hard worker. Great. Solid team player. Great. He's good defensively. Great. But again he told everyone he'd fill the net with pucks. Did he mean warm-up?

It all reminds me of Svechnikov. We literally kept Svechnikov because he's a great guy.

Eventually you have to admit Zadina is a bust. Yzerman didn't draft him. Holland did. I think Zadina will be traded eventually. Maybe not this season. And he won't be given away. But I fully expect the excuses to continue. He has 4 goals. Nuff said.</div></div>

He's only 22 and has yet to play a full season. I doesn't matter who drafted him, Holland also drafted Larkin, Bertuzzi, Mantha, Veleno, Hronek and Berggren. I won't lie when our pick came up in 2018 I wanted Hughes because he was Defensive man and played in Michigan. Just be patient its not like he's 24 or 25 and we are still waiting for him to improve.
