Zadina among list of Red Wings cut from NHL roster
The Detroit Red Wings have trimmed their roster to 25 ahead of the season opener, which is Saturday against the Predators in Nashville, and Zadina's name was on the list.

Guessing the Red Wings roster
He is coming off of a real bad year (6 goals, 13 assists, -14 rating in 71 games played) and the Red Wings have suddenly added Erne to the roster. The 23-year-old winger played 60 games with the Wings this past season (3 goals, 6 assists) -- is he in the mix? There's also Madison Bowey, who the Red Wings acquired through the Nick Jensen trade in February. Who is actually going to be playing for the Red Wings? Goalies:Jimmy HowardJonathan BernierCalvin PickardI put together a quick recap of the major Red Wings offseason moves here.
Will Zadina score 20 goals this season?
That's kind of where I'm at right now when it comes to the Red Wings and their top draft pick from last year. If Filip Zadina is in the lineup full-time this season (and everything to this point suggests he will be), then he needs to be scoring at least 20 goals as a rookie. He played nine games with the Red Wings this past season -- he scored 1 goal and 2 assists in that limited time. It's not unreasonable to demand 20 goals from him this season if he is playing a full-time role on the first or second line. By the way, in November last year I wrote this: "Andreas Athanasiou is on the Red Wings to score goals.

Red Wings NHL draft preview: Who is best available at 6th overall?
The Detroit Red Wings own the 6th overall pick in this year's NHL draft. Remember, last year when Filip Zadina fell into Ken Holland's lap at 6th overall was the most exciting Red Wings draft ever. I always like to see teams in these positions take best overall, especially young rebuilding teams like the Red Wings. Short of putting together yet another mock draft -- see rant here -- forward Trevor Zegras could be the best option available for the Red Wings at 6th overall.

Red Wings 2018 draft picks progress report

Ryan O'Reilly (RW)Ryan O'Reilly poses after being selected 98th overall by the Detroit Red Wings on June 23, 2018 in Dallas, Texas. So it's safe to assume the Red Wings have had them in their sights for a while. It was not an earth-shattering Red Wings debut, but he didn't exactly join the best situation in Detroit either.
