Hope Landeskog does whatever he needs to in order to have good health for as long as possible.
Again, Antti Raanta hasn't had any trouble finding work in the NHL and he has just as bad of an injury history.If Frankie is injured too often for us he's injured too often for other teams too
I meant “pretending” like he could come back. Again, I think we’ve seen the last of Landy. 2+ years off idk that any player can be as impactful after 2 years off. Hurting the org by not allowing them to move on completely and long term (purely business wise).Pretending to do? Hurt the organization?
Couldn't be more wrong. Hurting the organization would be more of the same: more rehab and then give it a try during the season only to come to the same conclusion that was realistic months before. At least this way it clarifies a path ahead that also allows the organization to plan and move ahead with greater certainty.
I would think the previous JTC deal would be more in order, 4 x $3.5M AAV. While I would like JTC to stay, anything over $4.5M AAV is too much for him, and you can only keep one of them at that price.I don't think a JTC extension is too likely. He's heading to a 5.5+m payday over 5-6 years. Avs can't realistically afford that. ERod is the player I think has a decent chance of returning now. Avs can now find a way to give him ~4m and if that is enough of a bag for him, I can see him coming back for 3-4 years.
I don't think they will plan him as a 2C, but a versatile middle 6 guy. Hyman got 5.5, Coleman got 4.9, Rust got 5.125, Rakell got 5... Compher adds center versatility to those names... which should be worth ~500k.JTC's next contract will be interesting. He showed near 2C productivity only briefly and usually with players much better than him and only this season- his 6th full one in the NHL. I'm not so sure teams will be lining up to give him 5+/year and/or have a plan to slot him as a 2C.
It's all good fam!
Foppa's spleen never bothered him again. This is a good omen.
ME TOO!!! ...but mine was for my cox...Landy and I have the same brace!

f*** every Debbie downer. He's gonna play again and he's gonna be f***ing awesome.
If Landy can get to the spot on time he can play another 6 years
Landy and I have the same brace! IDK why that feels important but it is to me. Considering how closely our recovery timelines are I wish I could be his PT partner
