DENVER — Gabe Landeskog is between a rock and the Avalanche locker room, a tough place to be these days.
The captain for the NHL's worst team is trying to lead a demoralized squad for which he might not play much longer. Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic has been open about considering trading virtually anyone on the team in the right deal. Landeskog, a left wing, is considered a marketable power forward, a valuable NHL commodity.
"Whether my name is floating around or not, I'm still approaching the game the same way," Landeskog said after practice Monday.
