Raanta is 29, has a career 92% in 150+ games.
He's injury prone, but I think Rittich could be a 1b if it comes to that.
I think the only question is if Arizona is willing to part with one of their goalies.

Raanta is clearly a good goalie but the injury history is obviously very concerning. Especially since he was a backup before Arizona so there is yet to be any evidence he can handle the workload of a full season starting.
But could you get him cheap? Might be worth a gamble because unlike some of the other goalie choices the Flames have made, the upside is definitely there.
