The New York Islanders claim, D
Thomas Hickey off waivers from Kings.
Hickey, 23, is a former 1st round (4th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry
Draft. He was 3 and 9 for 12 points in 33 games with Manchester this season.
The Islanders announced
that Josh Bailey & Jesse Joensuu have been suspended due to injuries
incured overseas. They will come off of suspension once they pass
physicals. Per Larry Brooks,
"Clear DiPietro from injured list over summer. Suspend Bailey for injury
playing in Europe. Nickel, meet dime."
Point taken.
Per Dmitry Chesnokov, Citing the
MOU with the NHL, the KHL did not allow Lubomir Visnovsky to sign with Slovan
until the end of the season. The KHL
says they will meet with NHL reps to figure out a solution, but for now he
cannot play in the KHL and was unable to play today as a result of the matter.
Isles Notes:
Slight change on Isles lines
2day: Moulson-Tavares-Okposo, Grabner-Nielsen-Boyes,
Ullstrom-Cizikas-Strome-McDonald, Martin-Reasoner-Boulton.
Strome now working as 4th F with
Ullstrom-Cizikas-McDonald. Rest of lines the same. New D Joe Finley out for
practice.
Joe Finley wore #52 today and
Thomas Hickey will wear #14.
Per Eric Hornick abreviates the
television network schedule for your New York Islanders.
Joe Finley's message to Isles
fans: I'm excited to be here and looking forward to fitting in and being a part
of the team.
Sound Tigers Notes:
Per nhlfreeagents.com, New York
Islanders reassigned (D) Ty Wishart to BST.
Per Michael Fornabio, AHL goes
back to touch-up icing on Friday. Consistency w/NHL.
NHL Notes:
Per Katie Strang, NHL and
NHLPA have reached agreement on accelerated compliance buyouts. Will carry full
cap charge for 2013 season. The hit
will then come off the salary cap beginning this summer and the buyout will
then revert to 2/3 spread out for remaining years. So in Redden's case, team pays him 100% of salary owed this year.
Full cap hit minus $ saved.
