So the big news yesterday was the signing of Ray Emery who signed a one year $600,000 (one way) contract and assigned Salak (G) to Rockford. Ive been rooting for Emery ever since he was given a tryout for the Hawks. I will admit he didnt have that great of a camp...according to Tim Sassone...Emery was 4.54 GAA and .813 SV% in 119 minutes while Salak was 1.91 GAA and .929 SV% in 124 minutes of play. You would think Salak would be the back-up but I did find it interesting that they didnt announce it after the game yesterday which had me thinking they were in talks with Emery. Im glad for Ray. Remember people...hes a back-up so that means hes only going to play 20-25 games this season. He will be a great presence for Crawford especially with being a veteran and knowing what it takes to win games in the playoffs going to the SCF a few seasons back. Plus Salak needs the experience out in Rockford. He would be playing close to what Crawford is going to play instead of sitting. He will take the Icehogs far this season especially with all the guys that Ive seen in the pre-season. Even if things dont work out with Ray Emery, they can always call up Alexander Salak.
