Rumor Satan to Islanders, Visnovsky maybe not

[Happy Kadri]

So, are the Islanders signing Satan?

[Shawnathon]

You would think Visnovsky and his agent would know the contract.

[Hammerheart]

It's been nearly 2 decades and I still get a kick out of his name.

[Mr Wentworth]

What is Vis' end game?

This is how I read things:
1-Vis has a no trade clause which kicked in on July 1st.
2-Vis was traded before July 1st.
3-Vis wanted to play for the Isles, but was kicking around the idea of the KHL.
4-He filed a grievance because he wasn't consulted on the trade before it happened*
5-He might still kinda sorta is debating possibly considering suiting up for the Isles.

Assuming I have steps 1-5 correct, what does Vis hope to get out of this?
To be un-traded?
To be traded to one of the teams on his ten-team list, which, I'm assuming would've kicked in on July 1st.
To be a poster boy for the NHLPA about some type of issue which I can't think of?



*Is it standard for a player without a NTC to consulted before he is traded? Nope? Didn't think so.

Your take is unjustified. Whether Visnovsky has a NTC or not, he and his agent believe he does. Why value your own speculation rather than confirmed statements from the people involved?

Well he's not in prison with Sanjay Kumar, so that's something.
