BREAKING: Gabe Landeskog To Miss 2023-24 Season
Cartilage replacement surgery tomorrow
Well, that was a shocker of an email from the Avalanche: Gabe Landeskog will miss the entire 2023-24 season because of cartilage transplant surgery. Here is the brief release from the Avs:
Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will undergo a cartilage transplant in his right knee on Wednesday (May 10). The surgery will be performed by Dr. Brian Cole at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. The 30-year-old forward is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 regular season.
For those curious: yes, the Avs will be able to use his $7 million cap space on other players/acquistions.
I’ll have more on this soon…
Still only 30% chance he gets put on LTIR ;-)
“expected to miss the entire 2023-24 regular season.” Ok. There’s hope for the playoffs. If he returns fir the playoffs the Avs could be loaded, providing the league does nothing about “legal” cap circumvention.
