AVS MAILBAG: Pondering a question of contradictions: Did the Avs luck out with their bad luck early in the season? via BennettDurando
What’s the latest on Gabe Landeskog? When will I see him back on the ice with the team?He hasn’t been in Denver for most of the season. There’s no set date yet, but he’s expected to be back in town soon and skating under team supervision. The Avs anticipate he will be able to return to game action before the end of the regular season, but first, Landeskog’s next step is getting back on the ice.
How does this year’s performance by Alex Newhook and Bo Byram impact their next contract with the Avs?Definitely too early to say with Byram because of what happened last year, when he missed months but became a star in the Stanley Cup Final. What if he goes on a tear again this postseason? The last impression can sometimes be more important than the first, and if Byram becomes an RFA with a second remarkable playoff performance freshly tacked on his resume at age 21, his value will increase.
Before offering Newhook conjecture, we’ll see if the recent surge is who he can be on consistent basis. He is certainly playing himself in the direction of a more lucrative deal for now, on pace for 20 goals with a 5-on-5 shooting percentage eclipsing 16% in the last year of his entry-level deal.
