In Order to Keep Hall

that's gonna be a big No from Buffalo

Care to elaborate on why? Raanta is a legit starting goalie and would form a great tandem with Ullmark for at least one year.

First of all, we already have two goaltenders under contracts for next year. They won't waste their precious Cap Space on a third goalie. Second, that's a huge price to pay for one year of Raanta when theirs a lot of good option on UFA market. Buffalo needs to concentrate their effort and assets/cap space on filling the real needs of the team (A second line centre and a Top 6 forward). I understand that Raanta is an upgrade on Hutton but not enough for us to take his cap hit and give you one of our better prospect and a second round pick. Maybe for a third or a fourth round pick but that's probably too low for you...Remember that Buffalo will have a lot of call from other teams to get rid of cap space and they won't overpay to help another team keep their superstar
