It'll be interesting to watch him tonight, that's for sure. This guy was fighting with Joni Ortio for icetime in the World Championships last spring, and eventually won the starting job for Finland. He's 2 years older than Ortio but they've been on similar developmental paths so far in their careers. Seeing how close he is to being a full time NHL goalie will help give us a barometer on how ready Ortio is to make the jump up to the NHL.

Not really. Ultimately Ortio might be more talented than Raanta, but Raanta was way better last season in Finland. They're different goalies.
