The Avalanche announced today that the team has agreed to terms with captain Gabriel Landeskog on a seven-year contract extension through the 2020-21 season.

"Gabe is and will continue to be a large part of the foundation of this hockey team for many years to come," said Executive VP of Hockey Operations Joe Sakic.  “Signing our captain to a long-term extension demonstrates the commitment of Stan and Josh Kroenke to this franchise and to our fan base.  In just two seasons, Gabe has already proven to be a great asset to our organization both on and off the ice.  The fact that he has agreed to a long-term deal shows that he believes in this team, his teammates and the direction of this franchise moving forward."

"I would like to thank the Kroenke family and the entire Avalanche organization for their trust and belief in me,” Landeskog said.  “I love Colorado and I love being a part of this wonderful community.  There is no other place I’d rather be than in Denver wearing the Avalanche logo.  I am looking forward to training camp and the upcoming season.”
