Unable to deal Andrei Zyuzin, the Devils are said to be waiving the defenseman and his $1.05 million salary.

Zyuzin has played one game this season and was linked to trade talks for Florida’s Valeri Bure. Acquired from Tampa for Josef Boumedienne, Sascha Goc and the rights to Anton But on Nov. 9, 2001, the 24-year-old can be claimed by any team; if he clears, he could be sent to Albany at full salary.
