"Thrashers forward Slava Kozlov has requested a trade due to his lack of playing time and would be willing to waive his no trade clause, he told me on Friday.

"I don't know if I'm going to be on this team or another team," Kozlov said. "If we can find a team which I like and which is good for me and my family I will go. If not, I'm going to be here. …

With coach not playing me, what can you do? That's why I feel I could go play for somebody that needs my help. Is so, I'll waive my no trade clause."

Kozlov's agent met with Thrashers general manager Don Waddell in Chicago before the team's final game before the two-week Olympic break."
