| Player Name | Note Type | Note | Writer | Game Watched | Viewing Method | Game Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Filip Zadina | Note | Feels backside pressure, tucks the pucks in toward his feet as the opposing player overcommitts, then pulls the puck back out into position and gets a clean shot on goal | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Disguises his release point so well. I've watched his goal several times, and I always think that he's going top right corner, but he goes low left instead. Just amazing release. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Anytime the puck is near him, there's a good chance it is going into the net. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Second-unit penalty kill on the 5-min major | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/30/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | So good at making himself available in the offensive zone, moving into the open spaces and keeping foot positioning to be ready for the puck. When he does get it, he's ready to react with shot, pass or control. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/30/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | I like his willingness to mix it up in the corners and and at the net, skilled players getting their hands dirty make me happy. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/30/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Zapp! When the puck gets close to him at the low circle, theres a slight wiff of ozone as the puck hits the net. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/30/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Summary | Elite-level offensive skills and excellent hockey sense and on-ice awareness combined with the willingness to always let his feet take him to the right spot on the ice, regardless of the battering he might take by going there. Zadina is a disruptive player that is a threat to make something good happen at all times, and he continues to show why he should be the top consideration for third overall in the 2018 draft. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/30/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Lightning one-timer after drifting into a perfect passing lane. Gustavsson had no chance to stop that. | Brian Fogarty | Sweden vs Czech Republic (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/27/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Edgework gives him such a tremendous ability to change direction on the move. Excellent skater. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/26/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Kid can skate. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Positioned well in the defensive zone, deflected puck falls to his feet, and instead of doing anything risky, just kicks the puck out of his d-zone. I love that play from him. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Took a big hit to make a smart pass, tucking the puck around the defender and just leave the puck in the path of Lavoie, | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Agility, balance, quickness are all excellent level or maybe better from what I've seen so far, and he'll take a hit to make a play. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Top powerplay unit with Lavoie and Fortier to start the second period. This group looks dangerous. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | Also getting penalty kill duty, and based on about thirty seconds of that shift, he could easily be an NHL PK specialist if all else fails. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Note | His game is incredibly smooth: passing, skating, up and down the ice. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
| Filip Zadina | Summary | High-quality player with an excellent assortment of tools, the kind of player that could be a top-five draft pick for 2018. On this first viewing, I'm not ready to call any one attribute elite, but there are not a lot of players his age that are excellent at every aspect of the game. | Brian Fogarty | Charlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL) | Live Streaming | 10/1/2017 |
