Headed overseas
Vecchione agreed to terms on a contract with KHL club Traktor Chelyabinsk, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Vecchione has put up fantastic numbers in the minors throughout his career, including the 2024-25 campaign in which he notched 19 goals and 20 helpers in 68 regular-season outings. Despite those numbers, the 32-year-old winger has appeared in only one NHL game over the last eight years. With no clear NHL options, Vecchione will give the KHL a try for the first time in his career.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Vecchione was a Hobey Baker Award finalist in 2017 after tearing up the college ranks to the tune of 29 goals and 63 points in 38 games with Union College, and that enormous year earned him a midseason entry-level contract with the Flyers, which they followed up with a two-year deal in July. He'll have a lot of competition for a roster spot this fall, and even though Vecchione is both talented and hard-working, he may be best deployed in the AHL initially with only depth-line minutes available in Philadelphia.
