[Future Spoilers] Idea about why something surprising happened in 3x22 and the Legends crossover
So Ray has been "out of town" for an extended period of time between "Al Sah-him" (Ep. 3x21) and "This is your sword" (Ep. 3x22). And in 3x22 seemingly out of the blue Ray transfers his ownership of the company to Felicity. My theory is that Rip Hunter was in contact with Ray during this period of time and Ray is only back to put his affairs in order before going to work with Rip Hunter full-time. Or he's seen some glimpse of the future and knows that Felicity/Oliver do end up with the company again.
Consistent with the showrunners from Flash and Arrow trying to overlap their timelines when they started Flash, the start of Legends will overlap with the end of this season of Arrow.

I wonder if Rip Hunter will also grab Sara from before the premiere episode.. given her line of "Don't look so surprised, I haven't been gone that long."
Just a theory to tachyon to yours haha
Well now that you noticed it really makes sense...poor Sara tho. Let her stay dead and grab someone else, if you really need a human level character within a team of superpowered individuals.
But time travel does answer how the show-runners think they can resurrect her without using the Lazarus Pit. And why she wouldn't visit Starling after/during her resurrection. More secrets for the Lance family.
Yep, but by the time the legends will be done with the time-saving storyline they will need to put her body back as seen in episode 3x02, so they either make her take just a large detour without saiyng anything about her murder, or she is aware about it all the time and decides to go on with it, both of which are pretty meh: I think three onscreen "deaths" (even if the last two are the same scene) are a bit too much, even for this show.
So she gets grabbed between seasons 2 & 3, then returned to Starling just before she's killed. That actually works.
Granted I'm wrong like most of the time haha so I'm not too sure.
Kind of a dick move on his part to not tell her she's going to get murdered.
Would she be dead in Arrow whilst being alive in Legends of Tomorrow? If so how would that work?
If Rip Hunter and time jumping shenanigans are involved there's no reason the series has to happen along the same time as Arrow. So Sara would do her stuff in Season 2 of Arrow, go off on her time adventures, then she would come back to our time just in time to get killed during the Season 3 premiere. It sounds grim when its said like that, but she could have been gone years if Rip can get her back at the point just after she leaves. http://i.imgur.com/TiFzI3P.png
Which is the problem I have with River Song. If her past self knows about her future self's death, why doesn't she just avoid it?
Why not drop her off after she dies? Why not just never drop her off? It's my biggest problem with Dr. Who, or any time travel ability.
she accepts her death as her fate basically
River Song is in an interesting position with regards to time travel. On one hand, she knows that she'll eventually die, and might even know that she's going to die in the Library. On the other hand, the Doctor first meets her in the Library - if she does anything to avoid that fate, her meeting with the Doctor will change, her own past will retroactively change as a result, and the current version of her will cease to exist or become a paradox. She's doomed either way.
I think once she sees what Laurel has become (a hero instead of a recovering alcoholic) she'll accept her fate

Basically Rip Hunter convinces her to go forward in time with him to fight the villain is my guess. When they succeed, he returns her to the Arrow universe between seasons 2 & 3.
