There are reportedly three options on the table for Zadina.

This will be a situation to watch closely in the NHL over the coming hours, especially since Zadina was a sixth overall pick and has a lot of potential.
Let's recall his famous statement, which quickly went viral and involves the Montreal Canadiens.
«I told my agent that if the Canadiens ignore me at the third pick, I'm going to fill their net with pucks! I want to prove to the Red Wings that they made the right decision by selecting me.»

Since then, he has never lived up to that statement, but he is still young.
Filip Zadina has three options, according to Kevin Weekes
If Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens hadn't acquired Laine via trade, I think the Habs would be in the running to give Zadina a chance.
However, at the moment, I would be very surprised if the Canadiens are among the three teams that have offers for Filip Zadina. (even though Kent Hughes loves taking chances on high draft picks looking for a fresh start)
And you, would you sign a professional tryout contract with Filip Zadina? A small one-year contract for $775,000?
At 24 years old, Filip Zadina is a 6-foot, 190-pound forward. He was a 6th overall pick in 2018 (1st round) and has accumulated 91 points in 262 career NHL games, including 41 goals.
