In Příklep, we deal with the question of whether the sixth player of the 2018 draft will even stay in the NHL. “I think he will get another chance, he was still drafted very high, but of course those chances will slowly decrease,” says Jakub Koreis.
However, according to the O2 TV Sport expert, Zadin’s participation in the competition should not be over yet. “I think he will get maybe one more season and if he doesn’t really start to bring productivity or add something else to his game, then it will be a return to Europe,” he thinks about the fate of the 22-year-old winger. Let us remind you that Zadina has a contract until the summer of 2025, i.e. for the next two seasons.

At the same time, Koreis is looking for similarities with another Czech draft pick from 2015. “At one stage we were waiting for Pavel Zacha to return to Europe, he finally found his place in New Jersey, today he looks even better in Boston than in New Jersey.” compares the former extra-league striker who fought for a chance in the NHL for three years at the Phoenix farm.

However, Jan Škvor sees a significant difference between the aforementioned hockey players. “While Pavel Zacha has shown himself to be able to play very well even at the back, that may be Filip Zadina’s problem,” outlines the concerns of the editor of Sport.cz and Práva.
