Contract Termination: [DET] Red Wings terminate contract of F Filip Zadina

[one2gamble]

This doesnt seem financially sound but he needs to do what makes him happy

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

So he’s essentially a UFA now?

 

[Sens Vader]

Will his contract officially be terminated today? Or how long does the process take

Yes.

 

[MMC]

Tomorrow

 

[Three On Zero]

Come on down to Vegas or Vancouver

good riddance this guy is a bum!!

Some media are saying it is a buy out

Where? Everything I see says mutual contract termination.

There’s really no reason to give him a contract at all. He will likely get more PTO offers than anything else. If he makes a team, great for him.. If not, back to Europe for a long time. That way nobody has to terminate a contract again. I’ll guess Edmonton.

 

[Zwui21]

Honestly, big respect to him for leaving money on the table and try to turn things around.
He definitely believes in himself and his capability to do better than what he did so far.
Ballsy move, no matter where he ends up playing I wish him success.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

My guess is Seattle.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

My guess is Seattle.

He's not a good enough skater to hang with that team.

My guess is Ottawa or Vancouver. Both teams need help lower in the lineup.

He doesn't strike me as a guy with a bottom six skillset.

 

[Mobiandi]

He’ll make that back when the cap shoots up

This doesnt seem financially sound but he needs to do what makes him happy

The only thing he would be guaranteed is the $1.83 mill in salary this season, then like $900K on a buyout in June 2024 if he doesn't play well or is spending most of the year in the A.

So, that's around $2.7 mill that he would for sure be giving up.

Gamble of short term loss for long term gain.

 

[Petes2424]

Do we finally get to see “Future Considerations” from a trade???

Kenny drafted him… if I had to wager, I’d say the Oilers. He’s the one guy who’s shown the most respect for Zadina… in Zadina’s mind..

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

He doesn't strike me as a guy with a bottom six skillset.

And you would be correct in that assumption. But I still think there will be some GM that bites on Zadina based on draft pedigree.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Good luck to Filip. Always root for guys when they bet on themselves like this.

 

[sepster]

Most go high, wide, or right into the goalies chest…

It's funny because it's true.

Travis Yost: Can Filip Zadina be saved? | TSN

Filip Zadina’s days in Detroit are numbered. That means it’s open season for any team interested in the No. 6 overall pick from 2018. But can he be salvaged? Travis Yost has more.

And Zadina would not take it.

The guy is terminating his contract with Detroit because he doesn't want to be in the AHL.

He's either going to be in the NHL, back in Europe, or some combination of the two.

Fair.

And to clarify, my goal would be to get him in the lineup asap. Just a couple of sagging vet forwards gumming up the works.

Boeser, Kuzmenko, Garland, Podkolzin...

Yeah, the guy that just left $4m of his money on the table doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd see that as a favorable opportunity. Especially when Kravtsov just passed through there with very little fanfare.

If I'm him I'm looking for a good team with good center depth and maybe not enough cap room to afford a strong group of supporting wingers. He needs a place where he can produce offense play a game that caters to his strengths.

So many nets, forlornly waiting to be filled with pucks. Sad.
