LindG1000 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Does more need to be said? Guy is 6'1", 215, plays a real hard game, generally a .8 ppg player or so, checks every box we're looking for, and takes an awful lot of faceoffs for a guy who claims to be a LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 First, you aren’t signing him to play C. There will be big bidders for him. Not sure I’d want to get involved. Another player youd love to have, but can’t afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Ok, new top 6... Paranin - Zib - Tarasenko Laf - Landeskog - Kakko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another player youd love to have, but can’t afford. If the offers he's getting from the Avalanche are in the range reported, I don't really buy that you can't afford him. There will be big bidders for him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be big bidders for him, though. Big bidders - on the open market. $6m per, yeah, you do it. I’m thinking he’s closer to Tkachuks next contract 8.5+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybologna Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Imagine having Landeskog on Kreider's contract instead of Kreider, that would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is not enough of these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 The more I see some of the numbers going around, the more I see Zibanejad, Strome, and Buchnevich's contracts going down. Zibanejad, in particular, I have trouble seeing getting anywhere near 8.5-9 in this market. He has to be more around 7-7.5 right now. But, to the point of the thread, Landeskog is another one of those guys you take over Buchnevich if you can get him at a good price. Either move Lafreniere to the right or I dunno if Landeskog can play the right or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 This can't happen.. The Rangers only trade AWAY captains these days, they don't trade FOR them. In all seriousness.. Landeskog is an impressive guy on the ice, but might be more so off it. Would be an absolute no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybologna Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Ideally you add what Landeskog brings to what Kreider brings. The problem is not enough of these players. True but we're stacked at LW right now, if Kreider can make the switch or if the plan is to try Landeskog at C then I'm cool with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 He'd likely be getting a lot more time at center but plays with Mackinnon.. If we could nab him he'd be the guy for us If CK20 was dealt(in our dreams right) It be nice at 1-Laf-Zib-Buch/Kakko 2-Panarin-Landeskog-Kravtsov/Strome 3-Chytil-3C/Strome-Buch/Kakko 4th Definitely gives them flexibility to move strome/landeskog around the lineup and much needed leadership! (will be 29 in Nov.) -- like mentioned elsewhere he makes much more sense than Stamkos, Eichel, Tarasenko etc. Edit: Aves just dealt Graves to the Devils which imo if they felt they couldn't keep Landes they would of hung onto Graves and exposed Landes.

LindG1000 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think about a drastic move if the bridge can't be fixed with Landeskog and the Avs. I don't let him hit the market and I pay the Avs to make sure he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I doubt Sakic will let him slip away. Plus they're closer to winning a cup than probably most of the teams that will be after him I'd bet. Interesting to see what he chooses...A run at the Cup or the big "$". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 According to Friedman on the latest 31 Thoughts podcast, this process has really soured and Landeskog is "hurt" by not being offered the deal he wants. Makes it really sound like he's going to test the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 i think he's just what we would need. hurt feelings aside though i would think sakic steps up and gets this done. don't underestimate that his signing would be in dolans wheel house of accelerating the build. probably would have to over pay him though.

To be fair, there are a few teams that really could give him that - us included - but man, that's a high tag for a guy that's probably more in the Ryan O'Reilly range.

Valriera Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 well you're just not that good, gabe. You'll have to settle for a normal amount of money that someone who is barely in their team's top 5 should get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 He is that good, and he is worth that, just not this year. Someone remind him that revenues are down and the cap is flat. Sorry, you're only going to get 7-8 mil, not 9-10. Don't cry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
