He's not the future, Krahn and Bachman are. So Raycroft will certainly benefit from a Lehtonen injury, but it will be Krahn that will get the solid look. He's really well-liked by the organization and if Krahn plays well, they will choose to start him over Raycroft as much as they possibly can. I probably should have made mention of that when I mentioned the other goalies not listed due to injuries (JDD, DiPi and Elliott). Good eye!! Also ... the reason you don't see Gustavsson and Ellis on this list is because I already consider them the "starters" for their respective teams. - Justin Goldman Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:24:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/justin-goldman/3043-the-diabolical-backups#comment-7698 great article. great insight as usual. i have 1 question though. with raycroft signed in dallas, wouldnt that hurt krahn's chance of stealing the starters job?? - sheldon Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:19:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/justin-goldman/3043-the-diabolical-backups#comment-7689 Yet another great article Justin.
