He isnt a guy this club can really use unless JG or MT are traded though as once again the club would be LW heavy on salary.

And if Gio goes, I don’t think there’s anyone else on our team that would be more captain material than Landeskog.
We need a culture change, and Landeskog would mesh well with Sutter imo.
Don’t offer 7 years (because he will be 29 in November), but I don’t think he says no right away to 7.25-7.5m x 6 years.
With the whole Tkachuk-staying-in-Calgary always in murky water, at least we have insurance in case he doesn’t.
He can also take draws for Lindholm/Monahan if need be.
