Zidlicky to Devils?

[Zajac's Bowl Cut]

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger

Early morning news, Marek Zidlicky has agreed to waive no-trade to go to New Jersey. Doesn't mean deal is done. Still some work to do.

As I said in the other thread, I'm not sold on him. I don't like when players challenge the coach's authority. Looks like he'll be a Foster replacement, though.

Zidlicky has said he would waive to go to NJD, however, Wild hasn't asked him to...yet, and may not trade him until the summer says source.

I don't think I'm a fan of this. He has a pretty big cap hit and is signed for another season.

[Dr. Doom]

The question is who do we trade and who is the odd man out on defense?

Salvador-Larsson
Tallinder-Fayne
Volchenkov-Greene

He's like a poor man's Vishnovsky. I think he's saying if he could go anywhere, NJ would be a place he'd like to be. The Wild haven't asked him to move it though.

this is like skoula all over again. i can see it now..

This isn't passing the sniff test. He is 35 with another year at 4M. Lets not talk about the price for him either. Just not seeing the synergy here.

[Dr. Doom]

Lets say we get Zidlicky. This could be our team next year. I would say that defense is a huge improvement over this year.

this is nothing like Skoula.

Zidlicky on a down year is better than Skoula having his best year, easily
