Thanks Eric.
Ales Stezka (26) just signed with the Seattle Kraken. He's been very good in the Czech Republic and has good size for a goalie. The reason this caught my attention is opportunity. Seattle's goaltending is not settled and they haven't had enough time to stock up their goalie pipeline. Of course, their goaltending situation could change significantly over the summer.
In all likelihood he's there as an organizational depth goalie and makes no impact, but if their goaltending continues to be a mess he could work his way into the mix within the next year or two. If I was still involved in ridiculously deep dynasty leagues I would give him a spot on my minors team and see what happens.
It's also worth noting Joey Daccord had a good year in the AHL.

Just catching this player mention on the BUMP.
Awesome! Thanks eric.
Yeah... SEA hasn't hit yet with quality goaltending.
26 is nice age to have a Euro-developed goalie.
I think he's got a chance!!! (some REP sent)
I'd expect he'd see split of the AHL starts with Coachella (who went to AHL final!) with whoever of Daccord/Dreidger that Seattle waives when they settle on 2 goalies.
Coachella's goalies last season.
