The Ottawa Sun is reporting that former Sens goaltender and constant pain in the butt, Ray Emery has signed a 1-year $2 million contract with a Russian Team of the Continental Hockey League.
The article also states that only 3 teams inquired about Ray’s services but decided to pass. I assume that teams were trying to low-ball the troubled goalie or were offering a 2-way contract as a safety net.
The most interesting part of the article is a quote from Ray’s agent: “Unfortunately, it’s only been a short time since the buyout and there isn’t anybody willing to give (Emery) a second chance at this time. I think if people knew the things that he’s done over the last little while to turn the corner, there might be more interest out there.”
Ray flat out told the reporters that he didn’t want to be the fall-guy for the Team’s demise last year. This admission is a huge 180 from last season’s statement. What exactly did Ray do? Is Ray’s agent actually admitting that Ray had a problem last year? What exactly was this problem?
