Something. Something. Tools. Toolbox.

Gave up all that guaranteed money from his Detroit contract to have a “better” opportunity elsewhere. At this point it seems like that was a terrible choice but full respect for him believing in himself. Wish him all the best.

It was weird that he couldn't produce even when he was put on Larkin's wing but thought he was gonna go to a rebuilding San Jose and breathe some life into his career.

He’s gonna have to pk or something to stick in the nhl

 

[Coffee]

He's going to score 30 for them under that coaching staff

He definitely wasnt the only one that thought he would magically produce in SJS lol.

I’m sure it must be hard to accept for some that you aren’t as good when you’re vs the best of the best. Going 6th overall, having people compare you to great players just to not have it work out the way you’re expecting is a tough pill to swallow. Progress isn’t always linear and be found that out the hard way.

You’re quite sophisticated for a person with a Phineas profile pic

Feel like the Sabres top 9 pretty locked in, no?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

He's just not good enough to be a top end player, and doesn't play like a 4th liner.

 

[innitfam]

Huh, I thought the Sharks had re-signed him.

30 points would be a nice jump up from his current best 24-point season.

Not sure he has the NHL tools either. His athletic ability isn’t top notch. One of Zadina’s biggest problems is creating separation and finding space. I put that at least 50/50 on his actual tools. Yes you can say the toolbox doesn’t allow him to find space but a big part of that to me is his skating and explosiveness.

His last chance in North America. I will always root for him, he worked his ass off in Detroit, he just wasn’t very good. He also needs to understand that he needs to play the game a good 20 feet closer than he does because what worked in junior doesn’t work on NHL caliber netminders often.

There's a pretty solid argument that our top 12 or even top 13 are pretty locked in. We're not 100% sure of the arrangement of the forward lines.....but the bodies seem pretty locked in

Fake news.

In the Czech league.

Darren Ferris finding out he can’t use his go to tactic of threatening to go Switzerland weeks before the start of camp because nobody would care if he did.

Yea I had a feeling this would happen. I do hope he finds a NHL team.

It is. He'd have to have an uncharacteristically productive preseason to even get a deal.

 

[Czechboy]

Sabres would be a bad PTO for him.

 

[Satan]

remember when Zadina was suppose to be better than Brady Tkachuk

 

[Chainshot]

Sabres would be a bad PTO for him.

Agreed. I don't think it would be good for either party.
