The big news in most hockey circles at the moment is about a player's retirement. However, this player is only 19 years old. Columbus Blue Jackets prospect Stefan Legein (selected in the 2nd round, 37th overall in 2007) decided that his hockey career is over. It's a curious decision for such a high pick. If he had been a late round pick, it might be a little more understandable, but for the 37th player picked in the draft it's just...well, confusing. Right now, there's no reason readily available as to why he decided to call it quits, but one would have to suspect that the game just wasn't fun anymore. Even if you're a great talent, if you don't enjoy doing something, you probably won't do it as well as you could. Interestingly, reports state that Legein's father, who hadn't heard about the decision until press contacted him for information, said that his son hasn't quit until training camp starts. Sounds like Stefan has a long talk with his father coming. So what are the Blue Jackets to do? Unfortunately, there isn't much they can do. They aren't entitled to any compensatory draft picks due to this retirement. They may have other prospects available to them, but still, losing a second round pick could hardly be considered helpful to a team (in most cases). Any thoughts on the situation? Will he change his mind? What caused the decision? Let me know what you think about this whole deal in the comments.
