The Flyers are expected to announce tomorrow that they have acquired goalie Ray Emery. Emery was the top goalie for the Ottawa Senators until last season and one of the top goalies in the NHL. Personality issues off the ice got in the way for Emery though and he ended up spending last season playing in Russia. This signing is a gamble then for the Flyers but it could payoff big time. If Emery can control himself and display the same talent he did before flaming out a couple years ago he's steal for the Flyers. This is because he is a much cheaper signing than either Marty Biron and Antero Niittymaki who probably won't be back with the Flyers next season. Signing Emery and letting those two go, thus gives the Flyers the cap room to go after their biggest need which is a top defenseman or two. If they can add a few top defenseman and Emery performs up to his peak, the Flyers could be cup contenders next season, if not though it could get very messy in a hurry. Hopefully the latter will occur.
