Waived: [CAR] G Antti Raanta waived by the Hurricanes (cleared)

[Mobiandi]

May we interest you in a gently used Dan Vladar?

Oilers will be tripping over themselves to claim Raanta

 

[GoldenSeal]

Carolina's problem is still goaltending

Halak says hi.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Really thought he could have been a top 15 starter once upon a time.
Shame the injuries have taken such a major toll.

too many Finns

no wait..

 

[biturbo19]

Wow, has their gamble on goaltending ever gone sideways on them. Yikes.


What exactly is their plan here, if not Raanta, obviously?

 

[AD Skinner]

Lots of people saying the canes should sign Halak don’t seem to know that they did sign Halak to a PTO like a month ago. They mutually agreed to part ways about a week into it for reasons neither party made public

 

[Pandaman11]

Halak getting signed? A trade? Anderson is still out right.

Craig Anderson has already retired, he's not an option

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Craig Anderson has already retired, he's not an option

They misspelled his name but they’re talking about Andersen who is “still out” with health issues.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Yzerman needs to claim him and put Husso on waivers, not even joking.

I would love that. I nothing Ville Husso and I freaking love Antti Raanta. I've wanted Raanta in a Wings jersey forever.

Canes can't find a taker for Raanta and you think someone is gonna pay you for Reimer? And if you think that Reimer is better and worth more, why trade him away to make room for Raanta? This makes no sense.

For me... I don't like James Reimer as a person. I do like Antti Raanta. Reimer is the #3 goalie. Raanta would be the #3 goalie. I'd freaking waive Reimer and pick up Rannta though.

People who saying they wouldn’t mind their team claiming Raanta haven’t watched him play this year. He is cooked.

His positioning and reaction time has been terrible and lateral movement is beer league level. The first two could be mental, but his movement is no longer NHL or frankly AHL/ECHL level. I think Father Time has caught up with Father Finn, and it makes me sad, because he seems like a great guy.

 

[QuizGuy66]

He would be a great tank commander claim for a backmarker team.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Carolina recalled goalie prospect Yaniv Perets from Norfolk ECHL.

The Hurricanes had to find a goalie to back up, Pyotr Kochetkov in the event that Antti Raanta is claimed off waivers.

Perets had a .931 save percentage and 10 shutouts in 41 NCAA games with Quinnipiac in 2022-23, leading the Bobcats to their first national championship in program history.

Vladar would be another solid choice for Carolina. He makes saves just by being big.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Is Freddy coming back this year?

 

[cptjeff]

Is Freddy coming back this year?

We don't know.

Makes me sad. Absolutely loved him in AZ when he was here

 

[AD Skinner]

Everyone loves him in Raleigh too by all accounts

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Is Freddy coming back this year?

Probably not, but he could.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He cleared.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

He cleared.

Edit twitter sucks

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

not surprising he cleared... maybe we see a trade now involving him

 

[LOFIN]

Kinda surprised Edmonton or NJ didn't take a shot at him

 

[Mrfenn92]

He’s been pretty bad. Basically worst then what they have already

 

[Bleedred]

I'm not terribly surprised. I don't think we've seen the last of Campbell in Edmonton, he'll probably be recalled at some point down the stretch.

And Schmid has been considerably better than Raanta. Schmid has also been considerably better than Vanecek, but the coaching staff/management for whatever reason refuses to let him happen. They wanna shove Vanecek down our throats, who only just had his first start of the season in which he only allowed 1 goal/fewer than 2 goals in like 15 or 16 starts this year.

 

[habsterr]

We got the goalie for you Carolina!

Allen for Raanta +
