Filip Zadina, drafted sixth overall by the Red Wings in 2018, struggled to meet expectations during his time with Detroit, leading to a fresh start. After asking out of his contract, he played 72 games for the Sharks last season, recording a career-high 13 goals and 10 assists. However, his efforts weren't enough to secure a spot on the roster through San Jose's rebuild, prompting his transition to HC Davos in Switzerland's National League.
