It wasn’t that long ago when we were thinking the Colorado Avalanche were going to be the National Hockey League’s next franchise. Gabriel Landeskog, from what I gather as someone who isn't able to be at training camp, seems to be doing well since he made his Avalanche return in the 2024-25 postseason. If he's able to click with Brock Nelson at center (who he's never played alongside), he could probably put up 30 goals again, maybe more. If he's able to stay healthy, it's a pretty big bonus for a team whose strengths lie at the top of the lineup. The Avalanche remains a top team in the Central Division, and I think the Dallas Stars will have a rough year following the firing of Pete DeBoer.
