I noticed it from Darren Dreger on Twitter before anywhere else, but the NHL arbitrator has made his ruling in the Lubomir Visnovsky case and ruled the June 22nd trade with the Anaheim Ducks was valid.
Since the deal was run by the NHL first, I couldn't imagine how they could have ruled it wasn't valid.
Sorry Lubo. Put your butt on a plane to New York. Thank you.
