Stefan Legein has been one of the more bizarre stories in the NHL the last few years. And the guy has never even played a game in the NHL.
Basically, the Columbus Blue Jackets second round pick from 2007 retired from hockey and has made a comeback all before his 21st birthday. It is a mysterious tale, given that Legein is known for bringing heaps of passion and grit to the ice, along with pocket-fulls of teammate pranks and Roenick-esque personality (Ok, no one can match JR in the personality department, but you get the point). In fact, check out this Internet gem where Legein's alter ego "Gino Reda" interviews current Islander darling John Tavares.

So now Legein is off to Philadelphia, bringing the "Crunch" he brought to Columbus AHL affiliate Syracuse in his brief time there to the AHL's Phantoms, where he will most likely start and spend some development time, both personally and professionally. So good luck in your second (or third?) chance, Stefan.
