But I guess if you have to carry the salary either way, there's nothing hurt by hoping he returns.
As for Landeskog - man it's been awhile. And he's what, 32 now? He's approaching that veteran decline stage anyway and has so much rust. I think you maybe just hope to get flashes from him here and there. If you're lucky, you get it when they matter most.
But I think you have to look at both of those guys combined and figure that if they can get you 50 points this year between them, that's a win.
Agree on Landy. Nichushkin should be a solid contributor if he can actually keep from getting suspended, though. Neither situation is ideal, but we'll see how it plays out. Much like the Chiefs, the question is who they'll have in the playoffs - not October.
