Washington Capitals hockey is here babes. Tomorrow the players are doing their physicals and off ice testing and then on Thursday the team hits the ice. There's still plenty of questions after the team announced the training camp roster last night.
Can Jakub Vrana make the roster?
The Caps made an interesting move at the end of the summertime as they signed Jakub Vrana to a PTO. NHL.com writes this about him
"The 28 year old had six points (two goals, four assists) in 21 games for the Blues last season. Vrana has 209 points (110 goals, 99 assists) in 367 regular season games for the Blues, Red Wings and Capitals and eight points (three goals, five assists) in 38 playoff games. He won the Cup with the Capitals in 2018"NHL.com
He's been a journeyman since the trade for Anthony Mantha and now that Mantha got traded at the trade deadline it was a smart move by Chris Patrick to scoop V right back up. Every player needs a chance to succeed and V has shown he can do it in Capitals red, white, and blue.
It'll be intersting seeing that speed from Vrana up close once again if you happen to make it up to training camp.
