from wiki so....

The Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Rask in the first round, 21st overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Before playing a single regular season game for Toronto, however, he was traded to the Boston Bruins for former Calder Memorial Trophy-winning goaltender Andrew Raycroft. Toronto management had deemed Justin Pogge their potential goaltender of the future, thereby rendering Rask expendable. It was later revealed that the Bruins intended to release Raycroft, which would have made him available to Toronto without having to give up Rask.[1]

The trade has since been examined as one of the worst trades in Maple Leafs franchise history; Rask would experience many seasons of success with the Bruins, eventually winning the Stanley Cup and Vezina trophy while Raycroft would only play two seasons for Toronto, recording disappointing statistics in the process.[2]

So we've got Jeff O'Neil, Steve Simmons and Wikipedia for sources and analysis. This is truly a great thread.

2003-2004 I think he was top 5 in sav% and GAA - Next year was injured. That would have been dumb to just release him. It was a terrible trade in hind site....but that's easily said after the fact.

I know it's a bad trade....I don't need a writer to tell me. I just don't think the Bruins were going to throw him away for nothing. Maybe they were, but It doesnt make much sense.
