'Malarchuk has tried to get a message to Zednik through the Panthers' front office. He would like to speak with Zednik when the time is right. "If I talk to him, I'll tell him time heals," said Malarchuk, who played 11 seasons with the Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals and the Sabres from 1981-92. "If he asked me if he should take his time getting back, I would probably say I didn't. It's better if you get back in there because you're going to be hounded by people with questions until you do."'
