Various reports have surfaced stating that Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Karri Ramo has signed a two-year deal with Avangard Omsk of the KHL.

The Lightning would not yet confirm as much for me but, then again, their higher-ups are a bit tied up at the moment, as you may have heard.

Ramo was slated to back up Mike Smith next season in Tampa Bay so this definitely puts a damper on the Bolts' newfound goaltending depth.

More on the ownership struggle later today.
