*-> With Rick DiPietro out for 6 weeks with his latest knee and facial injuries suffered against the Penguins the Islanders are looking for some help in net. Many are saying the Isles are going to make a major push for Ray Emery and make a one year offer sometime this weekend. There is no doubt the Islanders are goalie hunting as they are now limited down to one. This would enable the Isles to then deal Evgeni Nabokov back to the Detroit Red Wings. There is many other options other than Emery but the Isles have been linked from the start and also he is free to bring in other than salary and he also would not have to clear waivers which are both positives. The Isles could take a look at Michael Leighton of Philly, Mike Smith of Tampa Bay, Tomas Vokoun of Florida or Jose Theodore of Minnesota all of which are avaliable according to rumors.
*-> While talking about Ray Emery a new illogical rumor has come forth the past week linking "Sugar Ray" to the Flyers once again. I'm not buying it as why would the Flyers add yet another goalie to their fleet. The Ducks and Isles are still front running for Emery bt recently I have heard Calgary and Ottawa both mentioned. Both of which I'm doubting as the Flames would like to push Henrik Karlsson more and Ottawa is a different story all together.
