Visnovsky posted 6 G and 21 assists in only 68 games last year and will be a welcomed addition to the Islanders blueline. He is only owned in 33% of ESPN leagues so if he is available in your league he could be a great Waiver wire pickup. Monitor if he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.
Visnovsky won't be fantasy relevant until he returns to the Islanders and his suspension is lifted.
If you have room to stash Visnovsky in your roster for the next few weeks, when he returns he could be a great addition to your team.
Visnovsky may not have been drafted in a lot of fantasy leagues, so if he does return it may be useful to pick him up. Wait to find out how long it will be before he returns before jumping to the waiver wire.
Burning a second rounder during the draft is really going to irk the Isles fans on this decision. They'll fight it but this could mirror the Nabokov situation from a couple years ago.
Visnovsky is coming off of a sub-par season but it's a good gamble for the Islanders who have already stockpiled their youth and were in dire need of defensemen.
Sounds like Visnovsky might not play tonight. He scored six goals and 27 points in 68 games.
Reports indicate that Visnovsky wants to get back into the lineup and may just be waiting on the OK. He last played on November 11th.

Good news for Visnovsky owners and the Ducks. Expect him to reclaim his spot on the top defensive pairing as the team has barely replaced him.
Not great news for Visnovsky, who could be battling a nagging injury all season. After scoring 18 goals and 68 points last season, he's struggled with a goal and four points through 16 games.
Losing Visnovsky is a huge blow to the Ducks in all scenarios. While the Slovakian defenseman will not require surgery, he likely will use all four weeks to recover. Expect the team to try Kurtis Foster on the power play and give Luca Sbisa and Cam Fowler added responsibility.
Visnovsky scored 18 goals and finished with 68 points last season -- both career highs. With another season on that top PP unit, he should come close to matching those counting stats.
