After back-up goaltender Jason LaBarbera signed with the Phoenix Coyotes on July 1st, the Canucks needed to fill the gap. Today, the Vancouver hockey team announced that Andrew Raycroft of Belleville, Ontario, was acquired from the Colorado Avalanche.
First drafted 135th overall by the Boston Bruins in 1998, Raycroft has played with the Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs and has played over 230 NHL games. He has also been awarded a Calder Trophy as rookie of the year for his performance during the 2003-2004 season.
