With what we saw on the beginning of the year this has been my theory as well.

They had to set the tone of a set back for cap reasons. I mean one can at least dream right?

Should be easy to pull off if they want. Just don't rub the league's face in it, by skating at full speed in practice every day.

After watching Mark Stone go on LTIR until Game 1 of the playoffs, because the league couldn't prove his back didn't hurt, what are they gonna say to Gabe?

"Oh the experimental knee surgery, that nobody has ever had in hockey before, that you almost had to retire from, is 100% healed and you're ready to play, so you can't stay on LTIR any more." - Dr. Bettman.

It's just dawned on me that John Ludvig has played more games than Jon Drouin for us this season.

I'm tired of injuries. Can only imagine how the players feel.

Drouin isn't coming back until 2026 at this rate

This needs to be stickied

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Drouin isn't coming back until 2026 at this rate

He is the next victim of the Avalanche curse

If we assume everyone is perfectly healthy for the next game (Yes I know won't be, yes, I know Landeskog might never return, but assume he does and assume everyone is healthy), how do you set the forward lines?

Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Landeskog - Colton - O’Connor
Wood - Kelly - Kiviranta

Drouin-MacKinnon-Nichushkin
Lehkonen-Mittelstadt-Rantanen
Landeskog-Colton-Wood
Kiviranta-Kelly-O'Connor

 

[Vaslof]

If healthy means Landeskog is as good as he was before, then I think he definitely plays in the top six.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Landy - Mack - Mikko
Drouin - Mitts - Nuke
Lehky - Colton - Wood
LOC - Kelly - Kivi


Imagine getting to see 9296 together again.

 

[LOFIN]

Well no shit. That's obvious.

But that's a very big if.

Yeah the asker mentioned that. In this hypothetical world where everyone is healthy, I would play Landeskog in the top six because he enables the other skaters to focus on offense and that's wasted on Colton and Wood. I'd have him on Rantanen's line. Drouin similarly works best with MacKinnon, which leaves out Lehkonen as the one on a 3rd line.

 

[Cake Malar]

In a hypothetical world where everyone is healthy tomorrow, the team isn't cap compliant.

 

[Pokecheque]

If healthy means Landeskog is as good as he was before, then I think he definitely plays in the top six.

He hasn’t played a single shift of hockey in almost three years. The wreck of the Titanic likely has less rust on it.

I don't like it when you say stuff like this. Landy's coming in and reuniting the 9296 like.

All the negativity here and honestly, I don't blame people since this has gone on for 3 years HOWEVER imagine he returned in the playoffs and was able to reunite that line would get me f***ing going.

I agree it was a hypothetical by the question asker.

I'd like to see this happen, I think we all would. It's not like we're rooting against him. Well, I guess some here do root against the team, but they don't count as they shouldn't be here.

 

[Jasenr]

When in LTIR can Landy participate in team practice or does he need to be activated before to IR or something?

He can.

There would be a lot of ass slapping on that bench if this were to happen. 9296 is the stuff of Avs legend honestly.

9296 wins Stanley Cups. It’s a fact.
