We all want to see Zadina succeed but it may be a numbers issue in Detroit as he's getting passed on the depth chart and just taking up someone else's space.

Detroit's not moving Zadina for a lousy 4th, We already got crushed on the Vrana trade.

Carter isn’t waiving
LAK isn’t giving up **** for Carter he’s washed
Wouldn’t even make the LAK line up
DET decline, they wouldn’t send him to a division rival unless it’s an overpayment
The DAL trade is horrendous for MTL

A division rival is a bit strong now isn’t it? And divisional trades always happen, there’s nothing unique there. Why would moving a LHD that we don’t need for a centre we do need be horrendous?

He will be on waivers sooner than later. Why not take something for him?

Wings pass, can get more or keep him

no he won't

Why continue wasting a roster spot when you have plenty of options on the wing? He’s not a 4th liner.

He wasn't originally... he's actually become VERY good defensively and although he's not what we had hoped drafting him at 6OA, 1.8m for a 3rd/4th liner than can move up and down the lineup when needed is very reasonable and there's just no value in just giving him away for a low probability pick...
