David Staples of the Cult Of Hockey: The same refrain presents itself here. Ken Holland must stay away from the Gabriel Landeskog‘s of this world and even Zach Hyman. Instead, his focus should be on Adam Larsson (who will likely test the free-agent market).
The Ryan Nugent-Hopkins bet is risky enough as his contract goes well into his 30’s. One hopes he can maintain his foot speed and scoring prowess. These free-agent players do not have that elite scoring ability consistently enough.
Landeskog will put a lot of mileage on his body based on the way he plays the game.
