This is a good signing for this year, but may make things interesting when Burakovsky's contract runs out at the end of the coming year. Both have had very similar stats the last couple of years and have been filling the same position.

Considering the speculation of what his contract would be with other teams this is quite the win for Colorado. The market is so weird right now. There is zero consistency!

I'm sure he could've gotten $8M for 7 years. Maybe even $8.5M. Instead, he got $7M for 8 years and a chance at multiple Cups. Win-Win here!

Landeskog playing anywhere else wouldn't have been right

I really like Landeskog, but he's the exact type of defensive power-forward who everyone will be shocked when he doesn't keep producing far into his 30's.

He'll still be a useful player, but he won't produce much without playing top 6 minutes. So if he players 15 games without scoring a goal we might be looking at a Skinner/Eriksson situation rather quickly. Although, mind you, I don't think neither of them were particularly bad after signing their respective contracts, moreso that most players struggle to produce from down the lineup and it's very self-fulfilling to play someone there and point out that they don't score.

Good deal for Landeskog, he definitely could’ve gotten more elsewhere

Very team fairly deal all things considered.

Sakic pulling the strings again.

Wish there were more as competent GMs in the league as him.

Great signing. He could've earned more somewhere else, but it's great to see the captain back in Colorado.

He's back, and this is great value for a guy who's still in the prime of his career.

Well, he took Anders Lee’s money as I projected long ago. Win for Colorado, win for Landeskog

AVS back in the game...the game that's still WON up the middle = done, done & done.
Some business to take care of still; absolutely.
But Joe got his work-boots on...winning time, with this core, is now & Timmins/1st is tomorrow.
