Numerous reports in the past 24 hours have stated the Flyers have reached an agreement to sign former Senators goalie Ray Emery. A deal can not be officially signed until free agency begins on July 1st.Emery led the Senators to the Stanley Cup finals in 2007, but was eventually released from his contract the next season, mostly due to his temper. He then went on to play in Russia last year, where apparently he cleaned up his act.
I'm hoping the Flyers did their due diligence. This is the epitome of a high-risk, high-reward situation. The talent is definitely there as he was once considered one of the NHL's rising young stars, but he could also just as easily meltdown as he did in Ottawa.
Didn't the guy beat the Sens trainer up when he got pulled once? Seems like a loose cannon. Hopefully he can stop pucks.
