from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
“We had him very high on our list. Goal scoring is so important at the level we play at, and when you get a chance to add a goalscorer, you have to go with that. It was a no-brainer. We are very excited to add Filip Zadina to the Detroit Red Wings.
“How soon is he going to be a Red Wing? A lot is going to depend on Filip. I would say there are a lot of us that are hoping that he makes it really, really hard on us to make the decision.
