 Andrew Raycroft

 

The History
   Once upon a time, Andrew Raycroft was chosen over Vesa Toskala to start against the Ottawa Senators on Opening Night, thanks to a weak decision by Paul Maurice. Things didn’t go as planned, the Leafs were shut out 4-0 at home and the season’s dismal start was etched in history forever.

That was until Toronto bought him out and along came Colorado, licking their chops and feasting their eyes on Raycroft, ready to do what they do best – give goalies another chance. As it was with Patrick Roy and Jose Theodore, is now with Raycroft, and ever shall be, forever and ever.

Beaucoup d’argent a été accordé aux joueurs dans la dernière semaine, et il reste une bonne liste de joueurs qui demeurent sans contrat.

 The Flyers have signed Arron Asham to a multi-year contract. It will be a tough lineup to crack. The Pens have signed Finnish scoring star Janne Pesonen to a one-year contract. The 26-year-old led the Finnish Elite League last season. I think he will get a look on one of the big lines in Pittsburgh and [...]

A lot of money has been committed to players over the last week, but there is still a rather lengthy list of players still unsigned. Unfortunately for poolies, the pickings are rather slim in terms of players who could suddenly shoot up in value if they sign with the right team. Here are some quick one-offs on what to expect from the players still on the market…

 My projections for the upcoming Fantasy Guide are for the most part complete, other than tweaking. Using a clean slate in the rankings, I used the new projections - which is why you see a lot of jumping around on the lists. Don't think of it as a player dropping 30 or jumpin 12 spots, [...]

 Craig Rivet has been traded to the Sabres for picks. This hurts his fantasy value, which was marginal as it was...  Angus here. According to CKNW 980 in Vancouver, the Canucks are preparing an offer sheet for Valtteri Filppula. They would have to offer at least $4 million to get Detroit worried. Vancouver has acquired Steve Bernier [...]
