Not really the same. Ras will make just under 1.5 next season and 1.9 the following season. Ras only had a shortened NHL season played after being demoted to GR for a year following his first NHL season. He had less to negotiate with. Zadina made the NHL full time at a younger age, and has played more. He has a full 21-22 season, a shortened 20-21 season, and a half season in 19-20 to his resume. His deal will most likely be 2-3 years. He may get less than 2 mil the first year, but not after that considering he has contributed more at the NHL level than Ras had when he signed his deal.

Yup 10 goals... slow clap... he should get T F back to Europe and stay there.

Offer 1M go as high as 1.25, other than that his ass can go to arb or sit on the sidelines.

He is tied with Rasmussen in points and is less important and has less impact to the team. Ras is at $1.4M. Qualify him and if he asks for more than $1.5M go to arbitration. $2M is an insult to players making less that are better. If he gets $2M+, he better start filling the nets more than 10 times. I guess we'll see and we'll see if a new coach turns him around. I'm pulling for him since we passed on Hughes and Bouchard for him.

Its funny how people see things so differently when watching hockey games. Well see what Yzerman does.

Ya I dont think anybody would dispute that Zadina hasnt produced enough this season but there are another 8-10 players on this team that also havent been close to good enough. Every fan base needs a whipping boy tho I get it but for whatever reason Zadina has become that for most Wings fans. Still only 22yo tho look at the progression Rasmusen made from his d+4-d+5 season. Lets see if Zadina can make a similar jump after this season especially if we get rid of Trashill.

Right? Congratulations. You scored 5 more points than Adam Erne.

In no world has Zadina earned $2M or a 4 year contract. Holland is overpaying players for another team now. $1M X 2 at the very most! Only Larkin should get the max 8 yr deal and I can see that touching $10M maybe. A PPG is huge in today's league. Maybe he'll give a homer discount, but if not, he's worth the term and money.
