The veteran returned to Columbus at the 2018 trade deadline after spending two-plus seasons in Edmonton, finishing up his campaign with nine goals and 23 points in 80 games. A surprisingly large share of Letestu's scoring came on the man advantage with the Oilers, as they were willing to overlook his offensive shortcomings in order to win as many faceoffs in the attacking zone as possible, but that role disappeared with the Blue Jackets and likely would with another organization as well. The 33-year-old was cut during training camp while on a PTO with the Panthers, but given his very specific skill set -- he won 53.3 percent of his faceoffs last season, and has a 52.1 percent success rate at the dot for his career -- he could return to the Blue Jackets on a two-way deal.
