The agent for Zidlicky (concussion) said his client is "100 percent committed to playing in the NHL next season," Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. Zidlicky, 38, had temporarily been considering retirement after his Red Wings were eliminated from the playoffs in April, but with free agency approaching, he quickly changed his tune in order to increase his marketability to other clubs. Even at his advanced age, Zidlicky offers a quality right-handed shot on defense, but it's unclear if the Red Wings are interested in bringing him back. Zidlicky tallied seven goals and 27 assists across 84 games with the Devils and Red Wings last season, playing in every game until a concussion prevented him from suiting up in Game 7 of Detroit's first-round series loss to Tampa Bay. He's expected to be fine for the start of the upcoming season.
