The Avalanche have signed forward Darcy Tucker to a two year, $4.5 million deal. Tucker scored 34 points last season to go with 100 penalty minutes. 

The 12 year veteran has played the last seven plus seasons in Toronto. The Avalanche also signed goaltender Andrew Raycroft to a one year, $800,000 deal. He’ll back up Peter Budaj.   

Jose Theodore signed with Washington earlier on Tuesday.

I am glad for the addition of these players on the team, espically the signing of Raycroft. Raycroft is one of the players who has flown under the radar in the NHL and he could have signed a deal in the mid-$1 million.

My concern lies within two areas: defense and the transition game. They should find defensemen who plays solidly on their end of the ice. Also, they need to find players who have good vision on the ice and can make the "extra play" though finding the open/trailing players that can take a mid-ice turnover and turn it into a odd-man rush.
