Playing with Eric against Jordan? Maybe he did find the Fountain of…Middle Age.

Not sure, but when I think coat rack, Philly is one of the first teams to come to mind, right there with pylons. When they're ready to prove different, I'll acknowledge it.
*on the same front, still hoping we don't sign TDA*

Waddell already said in his comments after the Orlov and Bunting signings that the TDA trade for Massimo Rizzo was still going to happen when the CBA would allow it to be completed.
That would give us 7 NHL Dmen (Slavin, Burns, Orlov, Pesce, Skjei, TDA, Chatfield), leaving a trade still be done at some point here, unless you buy the whole 'depth' is what we are looking for (depth is good, but you are not going to actually go into an NHL season with that many legit NHL Dmen).

The buyout window closed June 30th. The only other buyout window happens if a team has a player go to arbitration (3 days after which the team gets a 48 hour buyout window with some restrictions).
So they are not buying out Zadina at this time. Detroit is nowhere near the contract limit or the reserve list limit or the salary cap. Not sure what is going on here other than saying they are willing to give Zadina away for nothing (if another team can stomach him being on their NHL roster all of next season).

I still don't see how we make an Erik Karlsson deal. Are we really going to go from a top shutdown D team to one that ices TDA and Erik Karlsson?
I mean:
Slavin-Burns
Karlsson-Orlov
Chatfield-TDA
That has 2 guys playing their off side. Exciting offensively? Yeah for sure. Stomach churning in our own end? Very much so. Freddie and Raanta would be in for a shock, they should have asked for hazard pay. We would be putting a whole lot of chips into generating offense from our D. We set a franchise records with goals from D last season. Going with that lineup above would take even last season's O from D to a completely different level.
Karlsson also kind of makes TDA redundant because which PP would you play him on? Would we start playing 2 Dmen on BOTH of our PP units?
PP1 - Svech-Aho-Necas-Karlsson-Burns
PP2 - Bunting-KK-Jarvis-Orlov-TDA?

That PP1 reeks of short handed goal opportunities

I hope it’s more of a narrative of the Canes in on everything over we really want Karlsson here too! The best case scenario for the Canes with the Orlov addition is to shop Skjei hard for a legit forward that can score and contribute consistently on offense and find a way for the money to work with Pesce on an extension! I’d be fine with Slavin-Burns, Orlov-Pesce and Chatfield-TDA with another lefty vet on the cheap as the seventh D. Coghlan meh. TDA as a right shot D option as the quarterback on the second pp unit is a nice addition when you consider out of training camp that the Canes had hopes of Coghlan doing that!

Grier said he’s not eating salary. Maybe it’s just posturing, maybe it’s not. If he’s not, that means a 3rd team has to come in, because Waddell isn’t eating $11.5 million for 4 years, no matter how high the cap goes after escrow is paid off. And he’s going to trade Skjei and Pesce? There isn’t a place for Karlsson and TDA.
So the Red Wings are just hoping someone claims Zadina? Good luck.
Do we know that Rizzo is the unsigned prospect going back to the Flyers for TDA? He’s had a couple of nice seasons in Denver.

I've see it reported a few different places that Rizzo is the late round prospect heading to the Flyers.

Yzerman explained today that Zadina's camp asked the Red Wings to try to trade him a couple of weeks before the draft. Yzerman couldn't find any takers so this is another attempt to get someone else to take on his contract for nothing.
Zadina has 2 years left on his contract with an AAV of $1.825 million. His actual salaries left are $1.83 million and $2.73 million. In other words, he is likely going to clear waivers. Not sure where things go once he does.
Zadina wants a new start and opportunity for more playing time elsewhere. Unfortunately for him, his contract is going to make that hard to find.
