Kind of going against my own advice, but if we were to target a goalie, I would like to see us try for Raanta. He has really good stats, albeit with very limited games. He probably isn't being utilized as much as he should be, being behind Lundqvist. I am sure that the Rags like having him as insurance though.
Then give Raanta the rest of the season to see if he is the real deal.
Like I said though, probably not worth trying to sell the future for instant improvement, but if the Rangers are looking at a playoff run, perhaps a veteran back-up and some depth forwards (with retained salary) would entice them, plus a future consideration draft pick if we re-sign him.
