I think he would have been in, but since we're all guessing who knows.
As to goalies, Raanta shut out Slovakia and looked much better than Ortio, so the #1 spot is very much his to lose now.
I'll be a little surprised if Raanta plays more than a season here in Finland, and if he puts up a couple more performances like that, KHL might come calling as soon as next season.
