? Raanta is pretty much the same size as Jaroslav Halak, Tim Thomas, Jonathan Quick.
He's understudied under two of the best goalies in the world in Corey Crawford and Henrik Lundqvist.
During his age 25/26 seasons, he's posted a .925 SV% over 42 games. He played on teams that were statistically 9th and 19th in scoring chance suppression, respectively.
It's fair to not want Raanta due to perceived attitude problems.
It's fair to be skeptical of
any backup being a starter.
But to think he has no starting potential? A little bit crazy.
