The New York Islanders and the 36-year-old defenceman agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $9.5 million on Friday.  The deal includes a no movement clause.

 

In 22 games this season, Visnovsky has three goals and six assists.

 

Visnovsky was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and widely speculated as a player that could have been moved before the NHL trade deadline.

At first this seems strange as he was not pleased of being traded there but that was mostly because he wanted stability for his family. Now he's settled to live in NY for the next two years.

Murphy was informed last week by Greg Hammaren, senior vice president and general manager of FSD, that his services were no longer required. Murphy had worked for the station in some capacity since 2002-03.

“I'm still trying to figure it out.''

“It's disappointing,'' Murphy said. “I really enjoyed the job, working for Fox and covering the Detroit Red Wings.

“I'm going to miss it.''

It's a pity. I've gotten used to him. Ken, Micky and Larry were a nice team.
