Isles would probably love this as they could use his $5.6m cap hit against the cap floor this year and next and it would only cost them $3m for $11.2m cap padding.

I dont know. You cant keep operating your team looking to just get to the floor. That will perpetuate the poor image of the team around the league and you wont be able to attract players, and the cycle goes on and on.
I would like to see the Isles sue Visnovsky, if it were possible. Could be a whole nhlpa mess I suppose, but that is the proper course of action imo. Either he comes to camp or retires, which doesnt help you guys I suppose, other than helping you get to the floor without having to pay out actual dollars.
