Raanta On Waivers

We didn't really think Perets was going to play either of the Wed/Thr back to backs, did we?

Yes, he would have pitched a 50 save shutout against either Nashville or Montreal.

He’s young so would have shutout both.

 

[HurryCanes]

hmm. Maybe this was a Cool Hand Luke trip for ranta and he went down to “get his mind right”?

Is it possible they just brought him back for christmas? Does he have family here?

Yeah, his family has come with him to Raleigh the last couple of seasons. I think they probably have him set for one of those back to backs as well though. Especially after how unfocused Kochetkov was on Saturday night. Perets was obviously just a placeholder. A break glass in case of emergency kind of thing.

Yes...he bought Mrazek's house! (We have friends who live down the street from Antti and his family.)
