Toronto - Their re-build has shown two things, they will spend money to acquire assets but have no desire to win yet. Plus Bernier is still around.
I think if the Flames came in with an offer of 2 year 2-3 mill, they should get him.

Ya those would be the other 3. Toronto seems pretty high on Sparks so maybe they go with Bernier and Sparks next year. Arizona seemed high on Domingue - not sure if that will change and Carolina seems to be in no man's land if they decide to go with Lack.
Raanta would seem to fit with us with anyone.
Ramo/Raanta (not my first choice but I'd take it)
Mason/Raanta
Reimer/Raanta
Andersen/Raanta
Edit: or Raanta/trade for other low cap hit option with upside.
It will be interesting to see what goes down this summer. Other than the draft, the biggest item on Treliving's to do list.
