    Default Letang signs with KHL team

    Interesting that with other guys coming back to North America in case the lockout is over, Letang just signed.

    Obviously he'll have an out-clause. Seems to me he's taking advantage of the fact other guys are coming home so that he can guarantee he gets some games in if the season is cancelled.

    Yeah, but the timing is strange. If there's a deal in the next day, he'll be after playing only one or two games.

    Good point, but there's been a lot of speculation since November that things have been "close". So he might be as fed up with the false optimism as us.

    Like I said, this is just insurance to make sure he plays games this year at some point. I'm sure he didn't want to play during the first half because of his concussion woes and not wanting to get hurt in case the league came back. With the drop dead date so close it makes sense for Letang to sign now so he guarantees games for the second half of the season be it in the NHL or elsewhere.
