Zadina clearly prefers handling the puck before letting go of his shot, he has not proven to be a big one-timer guy so far in his career.

What I like about Zadina is how hard he battles to find ways to get the shot off. I also like him off the rush and without the puck. Wahlstroms one timer is deadly though... but I feel like Zadina has more of that killer instinct!

I dare you to find me 3 goals where Zadina scores on a one timer.

So wait, I have to explain why I come to the conclusion that Zadina has proven more against older players when he was 2nd best scorer in an important tournament where players two years removed from their draft are usually the most dominant? It’s pretty much self-explanatory...

Zadina also plays against 18, 19 and 20 year old players in the Q. They both played well against older players, but I believe Zadina has shown more because of the WJC.

Pretty well every goal he scores, if not a 1-timer, it's only on his stick for a second, max. Just enough time to get the puck and release it.
 
Kaut in U20: 22 GP, 4G, 12A, 16P
Kaut vs men: 26 GP, 0G, 1A, 1P
Kaut U18 NT: 27 GP, 10G, 18A, 28P

Zadina in U20: 20 GP, 9G, 9A, 18P
Zadina vs men: 25 GP, 1G, 1A, 2P
Zadina U18 NT: 22 GP, 20G, 11A, 31P

Zadina & Kaut's stats from the 16-17 season. Kaut didn't do much worse than Zadina.

Lol I thought your comment about Zadina using 1 timers to score most of the time was crazy. I don't know who the Zadina you watched was but I think I've seen Zadina shoot like 3 OT. You must have gotten Wahlstrom and Zaadina mixed up.

I think Kaut will end up a very good player, but you can't just compare stats to look at which player has more potential/is more talented.

Lehkonen in his draft year had 14 goals and 30 pts in 45 games in SM-Liiga.
Laine in his draft year had 17 goals and 33 pts in 46 games in SM-Liiga.

Also, Lehkonen was 2nd in scoring on his team, Laine was 5th on his team.

He is definitely very efficient, but he is able to really mix up his shot angles and also make space before getting shots off.

Yep Kaut is a late riser for me, I don't see why someone would place him something like 20 positions apart from Zadina. Kaut produce impressively well offensively in Czech league this season playing mostly 3rd line minutes, all even straight production (only 1 PP point), and had really strong playoff as well.

I must of just caught the wrong games, but I always saw Zadina creeping into the slot, gets the puck on his stick, and BOOM off his stick within a second.

Like I said, must've caught the wrong games.

I was just saying Kaut needs to get more recognition, wasn't really suggesting he was = to Zadina.

No. I'm sorry but you are wrong. This is a great breakdown of how shifty Zadina is.

Yeah, I think it just comes down to the limited viewings I've gotten, since CHL streams are not easy to find and I was on vacation for the majority of the WJC. It's far easier to watch players playing outside of North America, that I have to go more on limited viewings and can be more prone to getting a bad read on a player.

Anyone follow Dobson this series, how's he doing? I see he had the GWG and first star last night.
 
Man getting Necas would be the best move this team has ever done. Especially if they keep the 3rd pick along with it.

Id do a 3rd vs necas straight up, thatd be amazing.
 
Canes need high end Cs more than anything. Trade doesn't work from their standpoint, unless they somehow sign Tavares.

Was posted in the other thread but just to showcase Zadina’s skillset outside of raw sniping:

Really showcases his puck protection skills and elite vision.
