LeftWinger 4,958 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Zadina proving he should stay. IMO, based on pre season, Zadina, Rasmussen and Cholowski should be the three that stay all year. It's still crazy to think that on opening day, because if injuries, that 5 out of the 7 spots on D could be rookies.

"Based on pre season", Svechnikov has been every bit as good as Zadina. 1 hour ago, AtlantaHotWings said: Actually impressed more by the pass by Luke then the shot... That's because natural goal scorers make it look easy. That shot was quick, hard, above the glove in butterfly position, and less than an inch off the inside of the post. Perfect shot. Like @Jonas Mahonas touched on, Abdlekader would have imploded trying to take that shot. I doubt Nyquist or Mantha get it done either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted September 27, 2018 Zadina has seemed like a Pulkkinen type this preseason in that he has been underwhelming in every facet of the game but knows how to finish plays when it’s teed up for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they’re similar right now in that Zadina hasn’t figured out how to create space for himself yet. Pulkkinen wasn’t anywhere near Zadina in terms of defensive awareness though, which I feel like is an undervalued asset for an 18(19?) year old winger. We’re all a little disappointed he didn’t just step right in and light it up, but I’ve been pretty pleased to see that other parts of his game are actually pretty far along already. That’s why even if I don’t think he’s NHL ready, I think he’s reasonably close. 3 The 91 of Ryans, Dabura and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this point in time, I think Larkin was the superior player at his age, and even Larkin needed a year at U of M before joining the DRW. That being said, I value players who are "playmakers" and drive possession (especially centers), like Larkin, more than I do goal-scoring wingers. So I have some bias in that department. IMO Zadina should go down to GR and then make the team next year. No sense in rushing him on to the team for the sake of it. He looked good in what little I watched, but not any better than Svechnikov, whose also barely on the cusp of making the team also. We have plenty of forwards and I'm patient. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
