The Caps First Round Pick Jakub Vrana Was Immediately Called By Alex Ovechkin After He Was Drafted
So there’s our captain doing great captain things. Must feel good to get drafted by the best team in the NHL and then immediately get a phonecall from the best player. Great start to young Jakub’s career. And I do mean young. He was born in 1996. Remember when you’d look at the back of your trading cards and be like woah, this person was born sooooo long ago? Well now people are being drafted that were born in 1996. That’s where we’re at. More about him: He led the U18s in scoring at the World’s, and scouts say he has blazing speed and ridiculous puck control.
