The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with goaltender Ray Emery on a one-year contract and assigned goaltender Alexander Salak to the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs.
No fantasy hockey impact in the AHL.
Line Change
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan -- By most accounts there was no winner in Round 1 of the goaltender battle between Chicago Blackhawks netminders Ray Emery and Alexander Salak.
The winner of the backup job should have decent fantasy value with the uncertainty of Corey Crawford's sophomore campaign. Considering both goalies are high-reward players, drafting one as a handcuff would be a decent idea.
Let me take back that earlier goalie stat tweet, it's Emery 5 goals in 75 MINUTES played. And Salak 5 in 100 minutes.
Don't look now but Salak could have the inside track for the backup job in Chicago.
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed goalie prospect Alexander Salak to a two-year deal worth about $600,000 per year, according to a source familiar with the situation.
