Gabriel Landeskog participates in full Avs practice for first time in 995 days

I hope he can get fully healthy.

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Necas
Landeskog - Nelson - Nikushkin
Drouin - Coyle - Colton

That would be really solid.
 
I get frustrated when I have a minor strain and can't lift for a few weeks due to needing to recover.

Can't imagine the mental toughness and growth he has had to endure and push through the last few years

He did a 45 minute interview with Altitude that’s a good watch. He not only talked about the physical recovery as well as the mental side of his career being in limbo. Highly recommend, it’s on YouTube.
 
Nobody freaking out about this??!! Or is that only when Tampa or Vegas does this kind of stuff lol

Only nobodies freak out over this.

Good luck on the rest of your recovery Landeskog... been a long road but the light's at the end of the tunnel. Here's hoping to a strong finish to his NHL career playing a game he clearly loves.

Helps when you've got $50 mill in earnings to go on vacations. It's also easy to imagine, just look at older people working in construction. Many of them are pushing through with injuries and such for little money.

Will they send him to the AHL ? i know he needs it but could be a slap in the face if he gets injured and his last game is not in the NHL
 
He hasn’t played in almost 3 years. Hardly Tampa/Vegas.
If Colorado has used his cap space and Landeskog is ready for day 1 of the playoffs but not a moment sooner, it’s exactly the same as Tampa/Vegas.

The question isn’t the validity of the injuries. It’s the timing of health coinciding exactly with the moment it no longer becomes a cap concern.

It’ll be the same if Kane is ready day 1 for the Oilers.

All of these teams are circumventing the cap and the league just looks the other way.
