Filip Zadina is officially heading overseas to Europe and leaving the NHL, as he's just signed a new contract with HC Davos in Switzerland.

Once touted as a promising NHL forward, Filip Zadina has signed a two-year deal in the Swiss National League with Hockey Club Davos, despite reported interest from a few NHL teams.

ESPN's Kevin Weekes recently name-dropped a few teams hot on Filip Zadina's trail, but it appears that the Czech forward opted for a more stable situation. At this point in the NHL offseason, he was likely only going to be offered professional tryouts. A rumored signing of a PTO with the Buffalo Sabres was squashed not long after it surfaced, as his agent confirmed ongoing discussions with an NHL team. When no deal came to fruition, Zadina moved on to the Swiss League.

The former sixth overall pick of the Detroit Red Wings in 2018 played 190 games in the NHL, scoring 68 points. When his contract was bought out by the Red Wings in 2023, he signed with the San Jose Sharks with whom he scored 23 points in 73 games. He was famous for saying he would fill their nets with pucks when speaking of rival teams. He is now no longer in the NHL at all.
