Anyone have a source on the apparent Letang hip injury/surgery? Looking at a deal to aquire him but i've been reading comments on thread about an injury but havent seen any source information. Any help is appreciated! Cheers.

from what i understand, he's not gonna get operated on but instead rest it. with that in mind, i wouldn't be surprised if it acts up next season. couple that with letang's injury proneness and he makes for a high risk high reward fantasy option.

Just an FYI...Letang is fully recovered from his hip injury

Hockey players commonly get labral tears or femoroacetabular impingement (fai).
It's what made dr.philippon famous.
