If you watched Hockey Night in Canada last night you heard this, but here’s an interesting bit from Pierre LeBrun from his blog on ESPN:
“We’ve got some news on former Ottawa Senators goalie Ray Emery, who has left his Russian club, at least for now. Emery didn’t report to his KHL team, Mytishchi Atlant, after the league’s break this past week.
A source told ESPN.com the netminder is upset because the team has been short-changing him on his $2-million net salary. Apparently, Mytishchi Atlant hasn’t used the right exchange rate for most of the season and Emery is about 33 percent shy right now of what he should have earned. The Russian ruble has been hammered all year long, making it hard on KHL teams to pay players.
The team is upset he didn’t show up Thursday and is threatening legal action. Stay tuned on that one. There is some interest from a few NHL clubs, although he’d have to clear waivers to return and that complicates things. Emery has been terrific this season, going 20-6-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .930 save percentage.”
