It's a trade that not many Maple Leafs' fans like to look back on, but Bruins' fans absolutely love it.�

Back in 2006, the Bruins acquired goalie Tuukka Rask from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for goalie Andrew Raycroft.�

From the start Raycroft was pretty much a disaster for Toronto with a 3.17 goals against average and .890 save percentage mostly serving as backup goalie before becoming totally irrelevant with the emergence of Vesa Toskala.�

Tuukka Rask on the other hand of course has had a pretty solid career which includes a Vezina Trophy in 2014 and a couple of Stanley Cup runs.�

With Rask's win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, Rask set a new franchise record for Toronto even though he's never played a game in a Leafs' uniform.�

Rask is now the all-time record holder for most regular season wins by a Maple Leafs' draft pick passing the previous record holder, Felix Potvin (who also played for the Bruins).�

Potvin was drafted 31st overall by Toronto back in 1990, while Rask was drafted 21st overall by Toronto in 2005.
