He was instead being shut down to deal with his sudden illness. It&#8217;s another blow to a battered Wings team that needs all the offence it can get.<\/p>\n<p>Zadina ends the year with 10 goals and 14 assists for 24 points, with just 10 penalty minutes.\u00a0 He was averaging 14:11 in ice time with a 48.1% Corsi for and a 2.7 relative Corsi at 5v5.\u00a0 Detroit&#8217;s pick in the 2018 entry draft, Filip Zadina was originally presumed to go much higher than he did.\u00a0 He was famously quoted at the draft that he would <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Y6z7LFtvA2w?t=169\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fill the nets of the teams that passed over him with pucks.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, the quote from Zadina hasn&#8217;t quite panned out. However, it largely doesn&#8217;t affect the Red Wings in terms of this season with only three games left. However, those last three games may be the difference in what sweater Zadina wears to start next year. His struggles to meet the expectations of a 6th overall pick have been evident over his four-year NHL career. There has been an outcry for management to look at moving him, but much like his fellow first-round wing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/rasmumi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Rasmussen<\/a>, he may just be a late bloomer.
