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.

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.
