Visnovsky will return to Isles if he has to
Lubomir Visnovsky - D - New York Islanders
Jan. 9, 2013 - 12:50 PM ET

According to agent Neil Sheehy, Lubomir Visnovsky will report to the New York Islanders if it is deemed that he can't remain in the KHL.

"His preference is stay in Bratislava, but if the KHL says he can't play there, he'll come and play for the Islanders," said Sheehy. Sheehy also stated that Visnovsky's dissatisfaction is not with the Islanders, but with the NHL. "He had a full no-trade clause, and he's been traded three times since then," Sheehy said. "And then he was locked out by the NHL, so he decided he wanted to stay put with his family." New York Isles GM Garth Snow, who declined to comment on the situation again, is expected to speak with Visnovsky again on Wednesday.
