It's a GM, not an organization, and he and his foxhole buddies are gone. All it proves is that there were no good picks at that spot. KK and Zadina haven't worked out as of yet and Tkachuk had questionable offensive upside.
Didn't Yzerman sign him to that contract?Filip Zadina was not an Yzerman pick...
... What you just did:
Reverse standings last season to Nov 1st. After Nov 1st reverse standings current season.
Zadina drafted as a RWinger and then converted to the LWing! Brillant move Picasso...you don't draft an artist to become a plumber
Yzerman isn't done with Zadina. He's honoring a request to find a new opportunity. Zadina's agent needs to be working the phones.
Not sure if you watch any red wings games, but he jumped around a lot in the line up and it didn’t matter which line or wing he played, was always the same outcome.
My one crazy theory is that hollland and Yzerman have some agreement in place and Holland claims him tomorrow after Yzerman bought out yamoto.lol. Doesn't make aense of course but the yam buyout didn't make sense to me either.
I think Holland wanted rid of Yamamoto, without using a buyout, so Yzerman used cap space as a weapon and asked for Kostin in return, whom he actually wanted, for taking Yamamoto with the intention of buying him out. . Zadina has basically never looked good at the NHL level.
Point.Kucherov. Palat. Vaslilevski. Seider. Raymond. Etc.
because the top drafting teams (and an unknown number of other teams) did not agree with this supposed "consensus". two of them went off the board and made large reaches rather than take zadina. despite the criticism those teams took and continue to take for doing so, both those players have turned out better than zadina.
