Episode #2’s guest Joey Daccord starts fresh in Seattle. He was rising up Ottawa’s depth chart rather quickly so it’ll be exciting to see what kind of opportunity he carves out for himself.

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

Sounds like the three goaltenders selected by #SeaKraken will be Chris Driedger (FLA), Vitek Vanecek (WSH) and Joey Daccord (OTT).
