Last week a clip of a podcast discussing Gabriel Landeskog circulated the internet. The show discussed the possibility of replacing Landeskog as captain if he doesn't return soon.
After speculation this week Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar was asked about Landeskog. He was also asked about the need for a captain.
It sounds as though Bednar is not planning on making a switch to the captaincy. He also gave an update that the team is hopeful he will be able to return this season.
With Landeskog still in recovery, the Avalanche will continue without a captain as fans wait patiently. If he is going to miss the playoffs again the discussion will likely return and an interim captain could be named.
