Red Wings waive former first-round pick Filip Zadina after request for fresh start

The Detroit Red Wings have placed forward Filip Zadina on waivers, indicating that the former top pick has not lived up to expectations. Zadina, who was drafted sixth overall in 2018, has struggled to become a consistent goal-scorer and may now be headed to the AHL if he clears waivers. In 30 games last season, he recorded three goals and seven points, and has a total of 28 goals and 68 points in 190 games with the Red Wings.
