The Seattle Kraken have reportedly traded goaltender Vitek Vanecek to the Washington Capitals.
Check it out:
Vanecek, of course, was drafted by the Kraken from the Capitals at the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft last week. But with the Kraken inking both Chris Driedger and Philipp Grubauer to long-term contracts, the opportunity for Vanecek to play in the NHL just wasn't there with Seattle. Kudos to Kraken GM Ron Francis on cutting the kid loose and sending him back where he belongs.
