Maybe Carolina is the most difficult place to play ever and any back-up will have a tough time there? Unlikely I know but possible?

Emery hasn't really impressed while Salak has played well. Me personally, even though if I had to take a pick between the two, I'd take the unproven Salak, it seems as though it would be better served for him to play in the AHL and get regular playing time instead of getting maybe around 15 or 16 games as long as Crawford stays healthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
