Ray Emery was brought in to be the goaltending answer in Philadelphia. How things change in just a few months.
Emery signed a deal on July 1 by the Flyers for one year, spelling the end for former Flyer goalies Martin Biron and Antero Niittymaki, whose contracts had let out on the same day. The Flyers then signed Brian Boucher as a back-up, so it was apparent that the team was ready to commit to Emery as the starting goalie.

The New York Islanders have made a plunge into the free-agent goalie market this summer, locking up Dwayne Roloson on July 1st and Martin Biron on July 22nd. This seems like a good tandem for a team that faced its fair share of struggles last season. There is just one little problem that the Islanders seem to be forgetting; they own a 15-year, $67.5 million goaltender that was once considered the “franchise goaltender.”

The New York Islanders announced the signing of former Oiler Dwayne Roloson.
Roloson is coming off of a decent year with the Oilers. Going 28-24-9, the veteran goaltender stole a lot of games for the Oilers. He is big in important situations, especially late in games or in the playoffs.
