ARLINGTON, V.A. — Logan Thompson and the Vegas Golden Knights didn’t end things on the best terms. Now, he’s ready to prove them wrong with the Washington Capitals.
Thompson was traded to Washington at the draft this summer, shortly before he was due at the Sphere for an autograph signing. He’d hinted that there were talks of a trade when the team made it clear that Adin Hill would be the starter, but the trade was still a difficult first-time process for the 27-year-old.
Though it’s been over two months, and even though his transition to the Capitals has been going well, he still had some strong words for his ex-team.
“I guess Vegas takes all the credit for goaltending over there, right? I’m curious to see how different it will be and if I can even play in the league,” Thompson said with a laugh when asked about the differences between Vegas and Washington.
