I think Zadina has no concerns- he's a top 6 winger at the very least... I think the question is how big is the upside? there are some who think he's a 40+ goal guy and some who think he's a 25 goal guy.
I'd say this is pretty accurate. And, for arguments sake, let's say he ends up somewhere in the middle... we are looking at a 30-35 goal guy, which any team can use. As for current day comparisons - I think Rakell and Forsberg are pretty close, but Zadina's shot at 18 is slightly better than either of theirs IMO... and they are in the 30-55 goal range, with some room to grow. I think Zadina will be in this mold, which makes him worthy of a 2-5 pick.
