    Interesting...I thought maybe he would try and test the FA market.

    Will be interesting to see the length of the contract.

    I am not really surprised. It was a good fit for both, the player and the team.

    Good signing! I see him as one of the top-3 backups in the NHL (not counting tandem goalies in Anaheim, StL, Dallas, ...)

    Or the player and the agent :P

    Really good for the team, actually. As Hank winds down in the next 2 years or so, Raanta could keep learning the ropes.. kinda like Rask did behind Thomas..

    Except not to the same pedigree.

    But ya, maybe they found a diamond in the rough that they can actually keep for a few yrs. Lundy is at 8.5mill till 2021, so they need a cheap backup to go until then that’s for sure.

    Fanager shows Raanta as 2yrs, 1mill/yr.

    Good move by Raanta avoiding the game of backup goalie musical chairs.

    Nice to see that some players realize that it's just a good fit, even if he might have gotten a little more if he signed somewhere else.

    Or maybe he took a look at the goalies who are about to become FA's and figured why risk it. A bird in the hand...

    one move down. And a good one at that. Goaltending locked up. What's next with their Blue line? How long do they continue to believe in Nash in NY?
