The Florida Panthers have acquired Vitek Vanecek from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Patrick Giles.
The Sharks are not retaining any of Vanecek’s $3.4 million cap hit. The Panthers can fit that in as they are placing Matthew Tkachuk on LTIR.
Vanecek, 34, is 3-10-3 with an 0.882 SV% with the Sharks this season. Patrick Giles is a 25-year old who has played 9 games with the Panthers this season.
Presumably, the Sharks will call up Yaroslav Askarov to fill the hole left by Vanecek.
