Gorton's pivotal move came on June 15 when he traded goalie Andrew Raycroft to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Tuukka Rask. Raycroft had struggled in Boston, while Rask was a promising young talent. Rask spent two seasons in the AHL, honing his skills and earning a spot on the Bruins' main roster.
In 2009-10, Rask had a standout season, leading the Bruins to the playoffs and a first-round upset.
Although they faltered in the second round, the following year brought success as the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011, with Rask eventually becoming their main goalie.
