And perhaps his +/- can be explained by the fact that Colorado scored only 12 fewer goals than they allowed in Landeskogs rookie season, whereas last season, in only 48 games, their goal differential was already -36... and probably would have been closer to -60 over a full season. But no... probably the concussion right?
You are reaching here. Comparing Landeskog to Lindros, claiming his falling +/- is due to his concussion, and then saying he wasn't performing "anywhere near his rookie level" when he actually was.

No just adding the worry of a concussion to the contract.
After Lindros's first concussion he was never the same.
52 point pace as a Rookie and a 40 pt pace as a second year player.
A lot of posters want to trade/bench Glencross when he falls to a 40 pt season.
Will Glecross be getting 6M a year for his steady 20 goals 40-50 pts?
Glencross was coming off a 24 goal 43 point season when he signed the 4 year 2.55M deal. He gave up 4 UFA years.
The Avs could have done what the Jets did with Bogosian and Wheeler and Little .... first RFA deal around 2.5 M per 2/3 years and in the last RFA contract give him the 5-6M long term deal. The only guy they gave a Langskog deal was to was E. Kane....and he went from 14 goals to 19 goals to 30 goals to actually earn it.
The Av's are paying Duchene and Landeskog and soon to be RoR like Kane and Toews when they have not come close to the level of play that these guys reached when they got their big Long term deals.
Not many examples of these unearned (well unproven and repeated) long term deals working out good for the team..... Myers, Luke Schenn come to mind of guys who the long term deal after the ELC may have hurt.
