We have gone from a 12 week recovery time, to now two full seasons.

Gabriel Landeskog and the Colorado Avalanche announced on Tuesday that the Avs captain will have cartilage transplant surgery which will keep him out for the entire 2023-2024 season. His second full season he will miss due to the knee injury.

Landeskog stated in a zoom call that retirement is not something he is thinking of and is encourage by things he has read and people he has talked to about the surgery, and he fully expects to play again when healed.

This obviously opens up some opportunity for the Avalanche in terms of allocating Landeskog's cap hit to other players. But just exactly how will the Avs approach doing so? The answer might be more complicated than you think.

Obviously, a lot to get to on today's episode! Tune in, subscribe and enou!
