jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 If they're looking for him to be the 6/7th guy, then I think this is a good depth move, but if they expect him to play any amount of time in the defensive zone they're going to be thoroughly disappointed. I knew he wasn't a defensive stalwart when we acquired him, but I never expected he'd be as bad as he was in his own end. For the amount of people who rag on our own home grown guys, he was given a surprisingly long leash. He did score some timely goals, which Gave him a bit of leeway in my eyes, but I thought he was really, really bad. 1 TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 He started well when he came to Detroit, but was way too much of a liability in the D zone. You could almost say he made Kindl look like a top pairing guy in his own zone at times by comparison. Still, Zidlicky seems like a decent guy, so I'm glad he caught on somewhere.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 19, 2015 Good. I always liked him and was glad when we got him. He's not a star by any stretch of the imagination, but he always seemed like a decent enough guy. All the best to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
