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 passes the eye test, has the stats to back it up(including high danger/medium danger) has done his time as a backup/understudy to two bonafide starters behind two vastly different teams, and is 28.
Raanta doesn't need to be Talbot or even good-Elliott/good-Johnson. He needs to be solid behind an excellent top four and hopefully competent bottom pair, on a team with some great penalty killing. The consistency he has shown despite sporadic opportunity is exactly what we need.
