Marek Zidlicky Trade Rumors

Sources say Marek Zidlicky of the Minnesota Wild is about to be traded. The Wild started the 2011-12 season strong and are faultering down the stretch. Zidlicky has been sitting in the pressbox and does not get along with his coach or the team's system.

The 35 year old defenseman has lost some of his offensive flair with 0 goals and 12 assists in 38 games played. He is a bottom pairing defenseman that comes at a hefty price tag of $4 million. Look for the Ottawa Senators or New Jersey Devils to make a trade for Marek Zidlicky because there are few defensemen rumored to be available for the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline.
