Filip Zadina, drafted 6th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 2018, signed a two-year contract with HC Davos in the Swiss League, signalling a significant change in his career path.

Once projected as a top-three pick with elite scoring potential, Zadina struggled to meet expectations in the NHL. Over six years with Detroit and San Jose, he managed just 41 goals and 91 points in 262 games, with a minus-95 rating.
Zadina's selection by the Red Wings was initially seen as a coup, but his inability to translate his junior success into NHL performance has led to his departure from the league. His move to Switzerland offers a fresh start, where he can rebuild his confidence away from the intense scrutiny of the NHL.
For Detroit, Zadina's struggles are a cautionary tale about the draft's unpredictability, especially when compared to the success of other 2018 draftees like Quinn Hughes.
