[RoyIsALegend]

Landeskog going on the road with the team. That’s good to see

.....

GET ME GOIN' WHY DON'T YA

Conspiracy Theory time: Landy is on this trip because the big Avs/Hawks trade is gonna go down and he wants to be there to greet the new player(s).

 

[Cousin Eddie]

So hot

Or he's in the trade!

Or he's gonna be activated once the trade goes down!

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

They are trading Landy's knee for someone's from Chicago.

 

[dahrougem2]

Or he's in the trade!

Or he's gonna be activated once the trade goes down!

ALL OF THE ABOVE IS HAPPENING!

 

[Cypher]

Landeskog is going so he can say bye to Mikko when he gets traded during the road trip.

 

[AvsGuy]

I think we're trading Ivan Ivan + a pick for Ryan Donato. Someone else mentioned Malinksi & Murphy being thrown in there which could also make sense

Donato is also having a surprisingly good season - 27 points in 45 games so far

 

[CobraAcesS]

Seriously, what the f*** is going on? Even a peewee team focuses on issues during practice.

I'm sure they're doing video review? They have to be, right? FML they're painful to watch. Powerkill is becoming about as much of a joke as 4Giev turned out to be.

You know it's just leadership related, but if it's not..

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I just can't wait for Landy to come back, get hurt again within the first couple of games he plays and then listen to HFAvs shitting on the trainers and Bednar for making him come back too early.........................................after 2.5 years off. It will be epic.

Deckchairs on the Titanic spring to mind.

 

[Pokecheque]

Well, this team is DESPERATE for scoring depth, so yeah, I'd do Ivan for him, if there's a pick involved, sure.

Not a fan of his game really, he's slow as shit and near as I can tell is abhorrent defensively, but the guy can put the puck in the net at a reasonably clip for a depth player, and the Avs simply have to get more scoring up front, especially in the bottom six, because it's nonexistent at present.

I still think they have to address the 3C problem (which is not as urgent as the 2C problem but it can be addressed more readily) but this would help.

If that's what Donato truly is, he'd never get a chance to score, he'd be riding the pine.

Bednar wouldn't care what Cmac paid.

 

[Cypher]

Landeskog is going so he can say bye to Mikko when he gets traded during the road trip.

Like I said

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Like I said

Maybe he travelled because he's replacing Mikko once his AAV is moved?

I know this isn't the case... I just want to see Gabe playing hockey again.

Nostradamus

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If Necas and Drury aren't there tomorrow, the lineup is gonna look kinda bad.

Lehky/Mack/JD
Colton/Mitts/LOC
Kivi/Kelly/Innala
Jusso/Wags

Toews/Makar
G/Manz
CdH/Malinski
Middleton

 

[Balthazar]

Now I wonder if management asked him to do it to calm things down after the trade.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Imagine the trust they have in this man if that’s the case.

They let him know what was going down in advance and he went on that flight, kept his mouth shut to teammates, and maintained composure until he needed to address them tonight after the trade.

New prediction: Landeskog plays one more game in his career, immediately retires and becomes GM.

This sure feels like an episode of "Rise and fall of 2022 Avs cup team" from Secret Base on Youtube.

One at a time everyone is gone and in the end nothing is left when Avs eventually trade Mack and Makar for picks.
