So Andersen and Raanta it is - $6.5m between them, same as we were paying for Mrazek/Reimer last year.

You know what? Nice job front office.

 

[TheOllieC]

Please stay healthy

 

[DougieSmash]

I love Raanta.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Gonna need Andy and Antti to live in bubble wrap when not doing the hockey

 

[Ole Gil]

Anderson/Raanta not bad at all.

Going to be a real treat for Anderson to play with some defense in front of him. He got that Cam Ward treatment up in Toronto.

 

[A Star is Burns]

There is some risk to this tandem, but I think there can be a pretty high end as well. Raanta can sometimes be really, really good when healthy.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Raanta at 2 million, 1 year is a good deal.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Perfectly fine price for a 1-year prove it deal. Hope he can stay healthy, he's a beast when he is.

 

[DaveG]

great value when he's healthy... But that's always the question with Rants.

And who's our #3? Because they'll be getting about 30 games with this tandem

 

[WreckingCrew]

Fine with this deal, 2 year to prove it. When he's healthy, he's more than worth it. He's an improvement to our 1B, unfortunately our 1A will require him to be healthier than usual

 

[Incubajerks]

it's a 2 year deal not 1

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

LeBrun says 2 years

 

[Buenos Necas]

I think the extra year at $2m is worth the gamble with his upside. But we've gotta find a strong third goalie for Chicago cause they'll 100% be getting games at some point.

 

[Brock Anton]

I’m fine with 2-years at that price.

 

[Moosetache]

I cant believe Freddy got that much honestly.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I dunno. We do pretty good with EBUGs, and they're cheap.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Now we need a McElhinney type bargain bin guy to be our 3rd goalie and pickup the starts when 1 or both of these guys are hurt...

 

[Buenos Necas]

I dunno. We do pretty good with EBUGs, and they're cheap.

That's true, we do know a guy.

 

[tellermine]

Just please dont get hurt!
He is one of those that has tools to be at top. 5 level, if he can play...

A warm Beck's.

Damn it, I'm never going to get this right.

dallas is loading up on goalies - i wonder if oettinger (however it is spelled) might be available. i assume he wouldn't want to go back to the ahl after how he played last year, but i'd love to have him in the pipeline.

 

[Buenos Necas]

Stars have now given Holtby $2m and the Flyers have given Martin Jones $2m...I'm a much bigger fan of our move at the same AAV.

I think there are still concerns on whether or not Bishop will be healthy.
