He formerly played for the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, and the Ottawa Senators of the NHL, and Atlant Moscow Oblast of the Kontinental Hockey League. Emery led the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup finals in 2007. It was the first appearance of an Ottawa club in the finals since 1927. They lost to the Anaheim Ducks in five games. Emery is a two-time Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee and finalist being recognized for dedication and perseverance. Emery was chosen 99th overall by the Senators in the 2001 NHL entry draft. During the 2006?07 season, Emery signed a three-year deal with the Senators worth $9.5 million. However, on June 20, 2008, the Ottawa Senators waived Emery, and then bought out his contract after a string of off-ice incidents caused the organization to sour on him. On July 9, 2008, it was announced that Emery had signed a one-year, $2M contract with Atlant Mytishchi of the Russian KHL. On June 10, 2009, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that Emery had signed a one-year deal for a reported $1.5 million.
