Quoting: tmann10
Zadina has played parts of 3 SEASONS.. he’s already been linked to trade rumors in the past. I added a 1st round pick in the trade and probably should have had a 2nd or 3rd in there too.. also forgot to mention that I put the wrong Johansson in there for the trade. Meant it to be Filip Johansson. I really don’t see how this is too far off. Zadina is not an established star who has already been linked to trades in the past and is not producing like a top 10 pick that he is. Expecting Rossi in return is pretty crazy. I could see adding a 2nd or 3rd in the deal to persuade them to take Rasks contract. And again like I said in the description lol “this almost certainly won’t happen”
Zadina has played 86 games in those "3 SEASONS" with 9 games, 28 games, and 49 games respectively in those seasons. That's not a lot of games by any stretch of the imagination, especially for a kid WHO IS 21 YEARS OLD. Not every prospect jumps straight from juniors to the AHL and starts producing at a "superstar pace."
Trade rumors? You mean this? https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2019/11/07/mcguire-dont-surprised-if-steve-yzerman-trades-filip-zadina/2516965001/ This isn't a trade rumor, this is a clown trying to have a relevant opinion. It doesn't even imply that Detroit has any sort of intention to shop Zadina, let alone trade him. If you have a legitimate source, I'm all ears.
Producing like a Top 10 pick? He's 7th in games played and 6th in points for his draft class. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2018e.html He was drafted 6th overall. What are you comparing him to? Statistically, he's producing as a Top 10 pick should be.
Who mentioned expecting Rossi in a trade? Considering both teams' relative lack of center depth, Minnesota offering Rossi and Detroit expecting Rossi would be insane to say the least.
Zadina hasn't been struggling by any stretch of the imagination. Detroit's game plan this season was defense at all costs. Everybody's offensive totals regressed. Zadina's defensive game was monumentally better this season, and he showed great chemistry with Vrana and Larkin. Detroit would be stupid to trade him at this point.
