Fair enough. Just remember a lot of debate between the two last spring during the world championships. It's not like Raanta is an old fart, he's 24 years old, compared to 22 for Ortio. Actually right in between Ortio and Berra, so for maturity he can be compared to either of them, while I would still probably look to Ortio as a more apt comparison, as Raanta was more of a later bloomer in net (never was drafted). Remember watching the Finland games last spring and not noticing too much difference in their styles, so I thought it was an apt comparison, but you would know more, you're actually in Finland right? Or used to be?
