The 24-year-old was a restricted free agent. He will earn $2.75 million next season, $3.25 million in 2008-09 and $3.5 million in 2009-10 -- for an annual average of $3.16 million, a big raise over the $925,000 he made last season. He will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the contract.
Emery's average eclipses the $2.66 million average salaries earned by Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller (signed last summer) and Carolina's Cam Ward, and is less than the $4.25-million, one-year deal signed by New York Rangers starter Henrik Lundqvist.
