Turco gone, Ray Emery in?

Scott Burnside of ESPN.com reported Wednesday night that goaltender Ray Emery(notes) would attend Blackhawks training camp in September on a tryout basis.

Gone is Marty Turco(notes) who didn't find much luck in Chicago allowing for rookie Corey Crawford(notes) to play his way to the No. 1 job.

Once the Blackhawks open camp, they'll have until Oct. 1 to make a decision whether or not to sign Emery. Barry indicated that Emery is looking for an NHL job and not a two-way deal from any team. Either way, the 29-year old Emery will not just have the Blackhawks looking at him; plenty of other NHL teams will be monitoring his progress in camp and will swoop in if he does end up getting released.

Much has been made about Chicago getting tougher over the off-season and bringing in a guy like Emery would only further that idea, just ask Marty Biron.
