He never has during this time. Doesn't mean anything TBH.

EJ said in his interview after practice that Landeskog is now taking contact.

He also said “when” and not “if” he comes back.

Is there still a possibility to LTIR our way into getting Lando a couple games before the playoffs or is it too late? I know Manson can still be put on LTIR retroactively but they still would need to find a couple more million in space.

LTIR Manson and Wood would be the easiest thing to do, but I think the league would be curious in the case of Wood because he has been playing games here and there. They are not going to waive players at this point of the season, that is pretty much guaranteed.
What would be an option, is for Gabe to play for the Eagles on a conditioning stint.

Yeah, Wood would need to be out for minimum 10 games to be eligible for LTIR anyway. So guessing a conditioning stint it is

I noticed that too. At this point, I think we're guaranteed to see him try to play a game this season.

So Landy is pretty much a full participant in practice now? He’s out there taking contact, being net front which means not worried about pucks hitting him in the knee etc…
The time of it really aligns with him being back 1st game of the playoffs

I'm being a downer, I know, but I still think there's an extremely big problem if their plan is to start Landeskog game 1 in Dallas.
Landeskog is going to be a monstrous liability jumping straight into postseason speed against a cup contender. If they can't find the cap room to get him some games before the end of the season, I'd wait to start him game 3 where Bednar can at least protect him a bit having the last change.

A monstrous liability? That’s not what I’m seeing in the practice video.
They’re playing Wood and Vesey on the 3rd line right now, you can’t tell me Landeskog wouldn’t be an upgrade.

LOL, not gonna lie. When I first read that, I thought it said, "I'd be happy if Landeskog returned for a shit before retiring as Captain." Glad I read it twice.

Didn't he "practice" with them 3 days in a row when they went on their last trip?

There was an off day for travel in between most of them.
Wait for a game where Georgiev returns to take a steaming pile in his crease.

"Yeah Landeskog has been ready to go for a while now, but we just can't put him in the lineup yet because of the cap, so we're just playing LTIR shenanigans until the playoffs"
