The Caps have a brand new goaltender - and he’s an old friend. After snatching up another former Caps’ netminder in Philipp Grubauer on the free agent market earlier today, the Seattle Kraken suddenly had an excess of goaltenders, so were kind enough to return Vanecek to the Caps. Going the other way is one of the two second-round picks (the 2023 selection) the Caps acquired in the Brenden Dillon trade earlier this week.
Here’s hoping Vanecek didn’t start packing his bags just yet... welcome back, Vitek!
