Three teams interested in Raycroft, possible Wild moves?

According to TSN's Darren Dreger, three teams have expressed an interest in Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Andrew Raycroft. During the first period intermission of Friday's Thrashers-Maple Leafs game, Dreger stated that the Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning and LA Kings have interest in Raycroft.

There are rumors that the Minnesota Wild are shopping Matt Foy. Foy does not want to return to the AHL and there appears to be a logjam in the Wild roster with the emergence of Aaron Voros. Source

Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke has said he will make one more "small" move after the holidays to free up more "tagging room" to re-sign forward Corey Perry.

Brochu's European round-up:

Forward Gregg Johnson has been released from his contract with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (New York Islanders AHL affiliate) and has signed with SaiPa Lappeenranta of the SM-Liiga in Finland. Source

Goaltender Miroslav Kopriva has left the Austin Ice Bats of the CHL (another great hockey team name) and has signed with HC Kladno of the Czech Extraliga. Kopriva was a prospect for the Minnesota Wild organization. Source
