Finnish article translated. Sure seems like he’s retired.

Goalkeeper Antti Raanna's NHL career is over.
The 35-year-old Finnish goalkeeper confirmed the matter to Ilta-Sanom. Raanta currently lives with her family in Rauma.
- The role of second or third baseman and possibly playing in the AHL was on offer. It's not necessarily the case of playing up to 60 games in the AHL at the age of 35, and just waiting for maybe someone to fail or get injured, then you'll be in trouble, Raanta said to IS.
In North America, it was previously reported that Raanta would be interested at least in the Vancouver Canucks, but only with a try out contract. It was not to Finn's liking.
- I knocked it down right away and announced that I've kind of made up my mind that I won't go there anymore, Raanta said.
The career continues in Europe
Now the goalkeeper's eyes are firmly on Europe, so the career is not over yet.
Raanta and his family are most interested in the main leagues of Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic.
- At least we'll be in Rauma for a little while longer. Now let's see what the days of the month will bring. If places start to open somewhere in Europe. Waiting for that a bit.
- Every other day, the wife shows on Instagram, when the wife of someone playing in Switzerland has updated pictures from there, that how great it looks there. The wife has insisted that the devil call Switzerland now and make a deal. It doesn't quite work out that way, Raanta laughed.
