Update: Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher on Wednesday told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the club has not asked defenseman Marek Zidlicky to waive his no-trade clause for any specific trade.

The newspaper, along with TSN, reported earlier Wednesday morning that Zidlicky had waived his no-trade clause so the Wild could send him to the New Jersey Devils.

“I haven’t asked Zid to waive his no-trade for any specific trade,” Fletcher told the newspaper’s Mike Russo. “I haven’t called him and said anything’s close. I can tell you for sure I’m planning on talking to other teams. We haven’t traded Zid, we haven’t made the decision to trade Zid at this point. I have not formally asked him to do anything because at this point I honestly don’t have anything to take to him, I don’t have anything for him to say yes or no to.”

Marek Zidlicky has agreed to waive his no-trade clause to go to the New Jersey Devils.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, Zidlicky’s move does not mean a trade has been completed as there is still work to be done.

Zidlicky, 35, has 13 assists in 39 games with the Wild this season.
