You also would have said the same thing last season when Landeskog missed the entire season...only to not return in the playoffs.
There is a chance Landeskog makes it back for the playoffs, but I highly doubt it's by design.
He wasn't even cleared for light skating as of January 1st, and there were still questions if he'd ever play again.
Not sure him missing two entire regular seasons to only return for the playoffs is this huge advantage you're making it out to be.
