NEWARK – While discussing sporting his Jaromir Jagr mullet during his youth, Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky offered no insight about his thoughts about becoming an unrestricted free agent after the season in an NJ.com article posted Friday.
Well, actually Zidlicky said that he won't even think about having a future with the Devils or with another team until after the season because he's so focused on winning games.
Zidlicky, who is earning $4 million this season, is a big part of a Devils' power play that is ranked fourth in the league. He's also among the league leaders among defensemen in goals and points, and is tied for second on the Devils in hits.
On the flip side, the Czech is 37 years old and gets grief from some Devils fans for taking a lot of minor penalties, his turnovers and being too offensive.
Vote here on what you'd do about Zidlicky going forward.
