So should we inquire about him? Speculations are that the asking price would be lowish for a RHD.
I think he has to be on the shortlist - but near the bottom of it. 38 years old and a pending UFA he's not a long term solution, and he's more likely to be a 3rd pair PP specialist at this point.
I'd rather explore legit top-4 options first, before sticking plasters like Zidlicky.

Think he would be a very good fit. Much better option than Petry. Don't see why people wouldn't want this. Better offensively than any defenseman not named Kronwall by a mile.
He's old, and that's an unforgivable offense around here.
He's not my first choice, but if we could work Kindl into a deal for him, I'd be ecstatic. Fill an immediate need, remove two more years of a contract we don't want, and hang onto our higher end kids. All wins in my book.
Also, I don't see how the guy is a third pairing D in a bad way here. He's handing 18 1/2 minutes of ES a night in NJ, a minute more than anyone is doing here. And is still moderately physical, especially for his size. I'd actually be surprised if the price is that low in a trade, and could see him easily playing further up the lineup, maybe knocking a guy or two down a pairing.

I could go either way on this, but I lean towards no because I'm afraid Holland would keep him around too long.
I'd rather go with XO.
Slightly OT, but a friend told me that there were rumors about Sekera. Has anyone heard about this? I haven't and I couldn't find anything.
Isn't him *not* being a long-term solution sort of a good thing? We have XO who's absolutely ready to go. We have Jensen, Marchenko, Backman, and maybe Sproul ready to go within a couple years.I think he has to be on the shortlist - but near the bottom of it. 38 years old and a pending UFA he's not a long term solution, and he's more likely to be a 3rd pair PP specialist at this point.

Is there a source?
You mean
Zidlicky + 2nd <> Kindl
?
