Razor close to signing extension

[DBQHawkFan]

It apears that Ray Emery is close to signing an extension. Wonder what Raanta thinks about that? I am ok with it if the money is right.</p>

It just means the goaltending will be 3 deep with decent/good goaltending if the price is right with Emery.  There were unofficial rumblings aboot it a couple of days ago.  </p>

Sorta not surprised gives Raanta a year in the AHL to get used to North American ice and then he backs up Crow</p>

 

[The Count Dante]

I hope this happens. He has certainly earned it from his record and with the old man hip, he may never get a number 1 spot again, but I would say he is top tier for backups.</p>


 </p>


He is a huge portion of the team's success last year and has earned another paycheck.</p>

Get ready for Variatroll to start crying about this...</p>

Afterall, Emery fought a few years ago, and taunted Jackman from the bench/after the whistle this past year</p>

shouldve been #1 star of the game for that.  classic.  </p>

saw him jabbing at horton i think too haha

Goalie competition is great for an organization. Emory could land #1 gig here if he outperforms Crawford.</p>

Not sure, I don't think Crawford will lose his job to a 91 year old.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

I don't know who that Emory guy is...but I'm sure Emery isn't taking Crawford's job anytime soon</p>

I'd bet dollars to donuts this is not what his camp was expecting considering he had at least a half dozen known teams vying for him. It's a one year deal so I guess we'll see next summer how he feels he was treated if he chooses to re-sign or not.</p>

 

[roshinaya]

I remember hearing Raanta saying that he expects to play in the AHL for a while before getting a shot in the big league. So I doubt he is too miffed about Emery continuing.

Excellent. I hadn't read anything directly from him since his tweet where he said he'd made his choice of team. </p>

 

[PatrickShart]

Players don't get "miffed" when they sign million dollar deals to come to the US and play...in their early 20's</p>


 </p>


Even if he did get pissy - tough shit.  It's his agents job...not the Hawks - to tell him the possibilities. Just like Niemi's agent may not have told Annti everything</p>


 </p>


Now the Hawks own his ass for a few years.  If he comes over and sucks...he's not going to feel bad/give back any money</p>


 </p>


That Finnish ***** should be happy the best team in the league showed interest in him</p>

 

[Samurai]

I like it. A lot.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

More brothers on the Hawks! Bump the thread!

 

[Rex]

as long as it's only one year, I love it.</p>


 </p>


If it's 3 years like I heard on Facebook, I would be irate. </p>
