So who we got to replace him

I believe Friedman said we're in the market for a goalie, "but nothing is imminent."

So this might just be a waiver to see if Raanta gets claimed. If not, he'll go to Syracuse or Chicago to build up some confidence again and we'll call him back up when needed.

Until then, we roll with Kotchetkov.

Who gets called up? I don’t think I even know who’s in the system.

Seriously though, "see if he gets claimed" is a rather large gamble if he does and you don't have your next goalie ready, even as a backup. I suspect this means we're extremely close to something.

The other thing to keep in mind is for some players, having cleared waivers means that they have higher trade value since teams can send that player to the AHL if things don't work out. My guess is that that's what's happening here- the Canes fully expect him to clear, and will use that to try and move him.
