Me personally I am not for or against him but let's say it is Raanta and one of Elliott or Johnson I am not even close to convinced our goaltending is fixed
Maybe Raanta is Talbot or maybe he is Lack?

Raanta actually has close to 40 games more under his belt than Talbot had when he was made #1. That is like 1-2 seasons for a back-up. He has more than what Martin Jones had as well. Same with Darling, who looks like he is being given a shot. And he was lights out in the SM-Liga as well.
Personally, I think he is ready for a shot and his salary and contract are very reasonable. I like the idea of bringing in a vet as well though to help him through it.
