Isn't Ben aware that the Leafs signed 6-foot-5 Finnish goaltender Jussi Rynnas?

Note:  one must not simply call him Jussi.  His legal name is apparently 6-foot-5 Finnish goaltender Jussi Rynnas.

When you're 6-foot-5, you can be called anything you wish.

An article about Ben's free agency, updated with his signing:

And linked from that piece is a 20 minute podcast interview with Ian Burt, from when he was Ben's goaltending coach (I'm not sure he was this past season)

Boy I wish the Flyers had signed him like some of the posters in the original article said.  They can use some help in goal for the long term.
