In FILIP ZADINA Land
All the thumbs up.
The beginning of the first round could not have gone better. I’m happy as hell with this pick. Filip Zadina is going to be a stud. It’s great that Ken Holland and the Red Wings went with the best player available and didn’t draft for position. Zadina has potential to be an elite goal scorer.
This is awesome.

I’ll say it again…. going with the best available was indeed the way to go. Ken Holland hit a home run at #6. The Wings need as much elite talent as they can get, regardless of position.
Love Filip Zadina’s swagger. Said he’s going to make Montreal & Ottawa pay for passing on him.

Kyle had this tweet in our original Zadina post, but it’s so good that I couldn’t resist. I want to buy a Zadina jersey right freakin’ now.
We like you, Filip. No need to worry about that.
