What happened to legally binding and all that? Sure, he's suspended but I hope they force him to honor it.
A contract is a contract. Regardless of CBA and lockout there is an agreement between NHL and KHL for this. How does vis think this is fair?
Saying they don't pay him is all fine and dandy but let's not excuse it for what it is. He's being a baby for being traded to NYI. Go play vis. Honor your contract.

So now, suddenly a contract is a contract? Where were you when Jeremy Jacobs wanted to roll-back every player's contract 24%?
Visi is in the wrong but he's acting independently - the NHLPA is not telling him to do this and actually he is failing in his duties as an NHLPA member as well. The contract IS legally binding to the extent that if the player does not meet the criteria of the contract he will not get paid or will get penalized and so on. Vis will be penalized so that's the end of that.
You can't force someone no honour a civil contract, if he doesn't want to honour it he just won't get paid - it's pretty simple. If the case were to go to court it wouldn't even be interesting as Vis and his associates can easily claim family disruption and so on and he won't even have to pay a penalty. I doubt the Isles really pursue the matter.

That's the point isn't it? I believe rollbacks and termination of contracts do occur and can be acceptable depending on the circumstance. Vis not liking NYI isn't a good excuse. The fact that players were upset a guy like hamrlik had a difference of opinion then business like visnovsky is deemed "oh well" is kind of annoying.
You're absolutely right that he is just 1 member in a large union but I don't hear players arguing about those who go against the grain now.
Actually, you can't force him to honour it but by KHL-NHL agreement he is not allowed playing anywhere else until he honors it or is released. In this case, he has not retired or done anything of the sort yet continues to play in the KHL. The KHL should step up IMO.
Isles gave up a 2nd round pick for him, why wouldnt they pursue the matter?
Edit: In any case, my point is about vis, not the union. He either plays in NHL or nowhere.

There is still one thing that is not settled in the NHL and it seems it has gone forgotten. The Jets still play in the SouthEast division!

I saw the hashtag #chezparé
Which is the most famous stripper joint in Mtl. Probably an inside joke. But then why post that on twitter you ask ? No clue.
There is also the Olympics. I think both things get settled in the next 6 months.
It pretty much HAS to be Columbus and Winnipeg. CBJ is not far from Washington and Carolina and the furthest east in the West conference. The 2nd most logical is Nashville as they are close to TB and Florida but further West.
No idea, I heard something about that but didn't see it advertised anywhere...
I was hoping for 50% off of Habs merchandise, but I guess not. Would have bought 2 jerseys
They should promote the mdse in the boutique all season long, at 25-50% off....people would really appreciate it...
