Another feather in the cap for the captain as Gabe Landeskog and his return depicted in the documentary “A Clean Sheet” is recognition from the ESPY awards nominating him as best comeback athlete.

One more contract was finalized over the holiday weekend and it’s for a player who will most likely have a greater impact on the Colorado Eagles. Alex Barre-Boulet inked a one-year two-way deal which will reportedly pay him the $775k league minimum at the NHL level but that’s not far off from the $525k he will earn in the AHL. As a small speedy scorer Barre-Boulet fits the mold of AHL star and indicated a replacement for Eagles leading scorer Matthew Phillips, who signed a deal with San Diego.
