35 points is a solid rookie year in the AHL, especially if you are not on a line with the right chemistry or if you do not log big pp minutes. Emmerton has been one of the best rookies in GR in a while with this in mind and in 09-10 he will log bigger minutes and get more prime-time ice with talented offensive players....I look for him to have a big campaign in 09-10 and the Wings will then also have a look at who he might work with too. Emmerton posseses excellent puck skills, great mits, has a great vision for the game along with being a great skater.....this is going to be a big year for guys like him. GR needs to put more responsibility on him....he will respond.
