JVR has struggled to find a new home in the NHL after scoring 38 points in 71 games with Boston. Despite his propensity to be effective, clubs have been unwilling to sign him. That looks to have formally altered.
Multiple sites report that JVR has signed a PTO with the Seattle Kraken. This is a low-risk move for Seattle, who will only keep JVR if he performs well in training camp.
