Raycroft has shot to start: The Colorado Avalanche signed former Maple Leafs goalie Andrew Raycroft and forward Darcy Tucker, who both had their contracts bought out by Toronto last week, on Tuesday. Raycroft signed a one-year deal on Tuesday, and Tucker agreed to a two-year contract. The Avalanche also signed Swedish forward Per Ledin to a one-year contract. (Updated 07/01/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Raycroft played in 19 games for Toronto last season, posting a 2-9-5 record with one shutout. He was the NHL rookie of the year in 2004. Raycroft spent two years in Toronto, but was relegated to the backup role last season after the Maple Leafs traded for Vesa Toskala. Since Jose Theodore signed with Washington, Raycroft's biggest challenger for playing time is Peter Budaj. Follow this competition into training camp before taking a flier on Raycroft. If he wins the starting job, consider him more of a No. 2 Fantasy goalie to open the season. (Updated 07/01/2008).
