Antoine Keller Signs Two-Year Deal In Switzerland

Capitals goalie prospect Antoine Keller has terminated his minor league deal with Washington to head back overseas. HC Ajoie in Switzerland announced that they’ve signed the 21-year-old to a two-year contract. Keller was a seventh-round pick by Washington back in 2023 and spent last season in the NL, albeit in a backup role with Lausanne where he only played in 13 games. Keller was also on France’s roster at the most recent Worlds and could be part of their group for the upcoming Olympics as well. Washington has until June 1, 2027 to sign Keller to an entry-level deal or they will lose his rights.
