A clear sign that Colorado Avalanche training camp on the horizon is when the team gathers for their annual charity golf tournament to kick off the season. Since vacating the General Manager position Joe Sakic hasn’t done as much press but he still stopped by briefly to speak with Altitude Sports Radio and gave a few thoughts.
On Gabriel Landeskog’s potential return:
“We really believe he’s done all the steps and the knee is doing great… all signs are looking positive towards a return at some point this season.”
Sakic also touched briefly on his other absent top-six winger Valeri Nichushkin:
“I’m assuming he’s cleared to play mid-November so I expect him back mid-November.
