Unable to stay with the Flyers and unable to sign anywhere else in the NHL, goaltender Antero Niittymaki has decided to go play in Russia. The former Flyer, who played five seasons in net, signed with Ray Emery's old team in the KHL, Atlant Moscow Oblast. Think of it as an international trade....

You think some team would have given him a shot. Maybe he wanted too much money?

That's funny, an International trade. He problably thought that he should earn starting goaltenders money.

Poor Atlanta is all I have to say.

Niittymaki is undefeated against Atlanta, and Niittymaki can face them 6 times this year now that he's in the same division. Poor Atlanta.

is atlant (russian league) the same team that emery played for when he played in russia?

Rayzor123 · 07-12-2009, 08:04 PM

Yes it is.

He's signed by Tampa Bay!!!

I think that to play in the NHL is way better than KHL!!!
Another hockey atmosphere, but they have great salaries in KHL.
