This unfortunate development marks his second consecutive season without playing a game.
Consequently, the Avalanche find themselves in need of a top-six winger, and Tyler Bertuzzi has emerged as a potential target.
While the Boston Bruins hope to retain Bertuzzi, their limited salary cap space and other impending free agents pose significant challenges.
Consequently, it is widely believed that Bertuzzi will test the market, presenting an opportunity for Colorado to pursue him. His addition would serve as an excellent replacement for Landeskog and provide the Avalanche with another skilled forward.
Bertuzzi's performance this season, tallying 30 points in 50 games split between the Detroit Red Wings and Bruins, showcases his capabilities.
Despite early-season injuries affecting his productivity, he thrived after joining Boston, contributing 26 points in 28 total games (including the regular season and playoffs). Adding such production to Colorado's top six would be a major boost.
As the offseason unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the Avalanche can successfully secure Bertuzzi's signature.
