[Rumour] Emery Moving On From Chicago

[The Swedish Flame]

Ray Emery very likely moving on from Chicago, looking for bigger role, chance at 1 or 1a spot. I'd put Philly as front-runner.

Not sure why but I could see him playing in Edmonton...

[Ozy_Flame]

Of course he's going to walk. He's a UFA stuck behind Crawford, and wants #1 goalie minutes and a bigger contract. No surprise here.

[handgroen]

might not be bad for the flames either if they're serious about winning some games next year.

Edmonton would be a good fit.

Philly could be the best spot for him share the net with mason, Going to the Coilers I don't see it happening he would still be the back up there.

[djsFlames]

Would rather Philly get him than Edmonton.

Wouldn't hate it if Feaster looked into him, though. As much as I know we want to explore what we have in Ramo/Berra, there is no denying how good Emery was last year.

(Still remembering that 50 shot effort at the Dome when he was in god mode)

I think him & Dubnyk would likely split the duties in Edmonton. 1A/B setup.

Pretty good numbers in Chicago this year for Emery:

17-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and a .922 save percentge.

There has been some speculation to that effect too.

I would still rather skip Emery and see how Ramo/Berra do. Emery would be a good fit to a team like the Flyers that obviously want to win right now and need a 1A goalie. It also helps that the Flyers are insane and Emery is a headcase. They will be a really good fit.

The Flames don't really care if we win right now in our rebuild and we already have a logjam of goaltenders that are going to want play time.

Besides, I cannot imagine that Emery's personality would mix very well with a team in a rebuild. If people were so desperate protect our young players from Tanguay's personality because he mailed it in for a couple months, I would hate to see Emery's personality influencing the young players.

Didn't he play for Philly before?

It's been a long time and he's been through a lot since I've seen any evidence of him having any attitude issues. I'm not saying he's an angel now, but many guys do mature and I think there's a good chance he has.
