The Washington Capitals offseason just got more interesting with the loss of Vitek Vanecek in the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft. The Kraken made the right choice and acquired a goaltender of the future.
The 25 year old went 21-10-4 in his lone season with the Capitals with a .908 save percentage and a 2.69 goals against average. Vanecek was taken in the second round of the 2014 NHL Draft by the Caps and rose up the ranks beginning with the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL and the Hershey Bears of the AHL.
