Fantasy Analysis
Although Tuukka Rask has yet to begin negotiating a new contract with the Bruins, he appears to feel content with his role as the backup to Tim Thomas. Rask may also stand to benefit if he re-signs due to his potential to inherit the starting job, as there's been talk that the Bruins may trade Thomas. While Rask doesn't figure to get the bulk of the playing time if both he and Thomas stay with Boston, he was nonetheless excellent in a backup role this season, posting a record of 11-8-3 and a 2.05 GAA.

Rask will return to the B's this season to capably back up Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas. On the heels of a strong run (1.97 GAA and .931 save percentage in 45 games) in 2009-10, Rask was on track to be the Bruins' No. 1 goalie this past season, but Thomas quickly reclaimed that gig and never let up. The unflappable Finn finished the campaign with an 11-14-2 record with a 2.67 GAA and .918 save percentage in 29 games. (Updated 10/4/11)
