Will Landeskog play again?

[the_fan]

I’m surprised this poll hasn’t been made yet just to get a general idea what we the Avs fans think. I for one am leaning more towards he won’t play again based on other 2 pro athletes who had the same surgery and unable to play

Done.

I think he does eventually come back, but it will be a short stint and the injury will force him out quickly.

He's done. Go enjoy your beautiful family with your millions of dollars. If I understand this correctly, unless the Avs buy him out he'll make all the money under his current contract because injury forced him to retire.

It’s such a bummer of a situation. He might come back but I bet it’s like a foppa thing where he shuts it down quick. Hope I’m wrong and he plays another 5 years

 

[Mighty Makar]

He’s done!

I think we need to stop getting Swedish players in our organization. Their lower bodies can't handle the altitude or something. The peaks are high but the injuries are just heartbreaking

 

[Frenchy]

If he spend another year on the LTIR, i think it would mean that he's done for good .
That would be two years without playing any hockey, It's a lot and i dont see how he could comeback from a two years hiatus .

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Wow, apparently I'm now an optimist around here.


I dont think he's done at all. I think there's questions about what level he comes back at and for how long... But I'd bet good money he hasn't worn the Avs jersey for the final time on ice for us.

If he comes back at age 31 after missing 2.5 year of action he's not going to be able to keep pace with NHL speed.

That's a very, very long break for someone his age.

it's 2.5 ? i tought it was only two years... where did i go wrong with my math ?

I think he will come back but I am not sure how long and how effective he will be.

Missed the second half of 2021-22, entire 2022-23 and will miss 2023-24.

Well he did come back for the playoffs in 2022 so technically it wasn't a real 2.5 year "break". Although he kept it at a minimum and didn't practice or anything during that playoff run.

yeah , that's where my brain went offline . I remember him playing in the playoffs and the reason why i forgot about the prior regular season games that he missed.

If he comes back and looks like the Islanders version of Andrew Ladd that will be the end of our window for sure. Can't have a player like that for 7M on the cap.

It's pretty touchy.

 

[JLo217]

I think he'll make an attempt like Foppa, and ultimately it'll come up short.

Get your priorities in order.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Still waiting for Bobby Orr to recover from his knee surgery..... lol

 

[Frenchy]

Get your priorities in order.

i'm working on it

As long as it’s not in February I won’t get PTSD.

 

[AvsFan29]

He'll be back for playoffs and he'll be better than ever

Yeah its going to be tough for sure but I think with his play style he might be fine if his skating doesn't come back fully. If he's a solid middle 6 guy I would be pretty happy

As I have said in the past, I have seen this attempted process with major injuries many times in the past with other players in hockey. My gut says he comes back but it's short lived. Happy to be proven wrong.
