For now, Gabe Landeskog is still a member of the Avalanche. He’s still the team captain, still the voice of reason, still an extension of the coaching staff and front office, and a friend to all.
Landeskog has not agreed to terms with the expansion Seattle Kraken, who have likely wined and dined him since Monday morning when they obtained exclusive interview and negotiation rights.
If Landeskog doesn’t sign with Seattle and doesn’t formally become its lone selection from the Avalanche in Wednesday’s expansion draft, he will remain with Colorado until at least July 28, when NHL free agency begins.
