Visnovsky

Quick internet search shows numerous accounts of Visnovsky having some sort of no-trade clause in his contract. 

Why it didn't come up for a month after he was dealt?  That's an interesting question.  With potential lockout ahead, could he be just using this clause to get a signing bonus on future deal? (Under CBA you can't just convert salary to signing bonus for an existing year.)

Visnovsky's agent is Neil Sheehy, a Harvard grad.  I can't imagine that he would have forgotten that his client had this language in his contract.
