Vanecek was one of the players cut on Saturday and will return to Liberic of the Czech League, Alex Prewitt of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Vanecek, selected 39th overall by the Capitals in the 2014 NHL Draft, will look to have a solid season with Liberic and a good showing with the Czech National Team at the upcoming World Junior Championships in December. With Braden Holtby and Phillip Grubauer ahead of him on the depth chart, the Capitals seem content to let the skilled goaltender develop in Europe this season.
