Back in 2006, the Boston Bruins made a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs that would alter both franchises' histories. Boston sent over a recent Calder winner in Andrew Raycroft to Toronto in exchange for prospect Tuukka Rask.
This immediately looked like a win for the Leafs as Raycroft was young and coming off a Calder and they had reason to believe he would be a star for years to come. However, he was far from that. He only spent two lackluster years in Toronto and that was that.
In all honesty, his reaction does make a lot of sense. It was the middle of summer and Rask had yet to even come over to North America. It would actually be another year before he made that move to North America.
