Speaking with reporters postgame following their overtime victory over the Rangers today, head coach Derek Lalonde said:
It's been a slow start to the season for Zadina who has been held pointless through 9 games, while averaging 14 minutes a night. He's in the first season of a three-year, $1,825,00 million AAV bridge contract. $1,825,00 million AAV
This is another obstacle the former sixth overall pick from the 2018 draft, will have to overcome to make an impact at the NHL level.
