I get the feeling that Zadina wants to be the scoring winger that gets to coast on McDavid's line and gets all the PP time that McDavid gets. I feel like if a certain GM were to pick him up and put him on McDavid's line and give him the PP time McDavid gets, he could be a 60-70 pt type of player that only costs 1.25 million. Maybe a certain GM will do that and make this a good thing for everybody. Don't have to wonder about Zadina disappearing in the playoffs. We all know that will happen. But hopefully, he can have success in the NHL to a certain level, and everybody is better off for his removal from Detroit and addition elsewhere.

okay now that Zadina is off the table Joe V becomes the replacement as part of package?

TSN is reporting that Zadina will quickly get a new prove it contract in the NHL. Probably from a certain GM.

In a weird way I kind of respect his decision as the contract he signed didn't allow cash strapped teams a shot. He could do a 1 yr 500K prove it contract and maybe come out of the hole. Betting on himself big time much like Bert is in Toronto...except Bert actually has a solid contract

Funky Cold Zadina

Just read this https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2023/07/05/detroit-red-wings-carter-mazur-prospects-development-camp/70381689007/ and from the article Mazur sees a role for himself as a player: "I like pissing people off, that’s a big part of my game," he said. "I love chirping, getting under other people’s skin, I don’t care who you are. It’s something I enjoy and it makes hockey a lot of fun."

Bert better do everything possible to stay healthy this upcoming season...
