It's really hard to see Mike go,» Letang said in French to RDS during a LSHL hockey tournament.
«He's a good friend of mine, I know his background. In Florida, he didn't have a good time. But he came to Pittsburgh, where we have an extraordinary coach for defensemen in Todd Reirden. He really took him under his wing and put him back to the player he should be, explosive with a lot of attack. I think his journey has been incredible. It hurts me, I won't hide it. But I know at the same time that it's life, it's hockey.»
