Gabriel Landeskog: our analysis
2025-26 season: 60 GP, 14 G, 21 A, 35 PTS, +29 +/-, 16:25 TOI. WAR -0.7 (586th of 615) · PAL 49, around average.
In 2025-26, Gabriel Landeskog, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 49 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.7 ranks 586th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: creation (86, among the best in the league), possession (81, well above average) and penalty kill (79, well above average). On the other hand, discipline (3, among the weakest in the league) and power play (13, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+1.1); his biggest cost: finishing (-5.1).
Contract-wise, his Value score of 28 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Gabriel Landeskog's story
At 16, Gabriel Landeskog made his first appearances in Sweden’s top league with Djurgårdens IF, picking up his first point soon after his debut in February 2009; that early exposure led him to pursue junior hockey in North America the following season. After being selected in the 2009 CHL Import Draft, he moved to play in the Ontario Hockey League with the Kitchener Rangers.
Landeskog established himself quickly in Kitchener, finishing among the top rookies in 2009–10 and earning the captaincy for 2010–11 — the first European to hold that role in franchise history. Even though an ankle injury shortened his final junior campaign, he still finished as the Rangers’ leading goal scorer and closed out his junior career during the 2011 playoffs.
Taken second overall by the Colorado Avalanche in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Landeskog made the NHL roster immediately and chose number 92 to honour his birth year. His rookie season culminated with the Calder Trophy after he led rookies with 22 goals and 52 points and was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team. The Avalanche then named him captain on 4 September 2012, making him, at 19 years and 286 days, the youngest captain in league history at that time.
His tenure in Colorado has mixed on-ice production, leadership and moments of adversity: All-Star recognition, several suspensions and fines for illegal hits, a concussion early in his captaincy year, and recurring lower-body and knee issues. In 2022 he played a role in Colorado’s playoff run and recorded points in the Stanley Cup Final before the Avalanche captured the Cup. Subsequent knee surgeries sidelined him for the entire 2022–23 season and the 2023–24 season, with a cartilage transplant noted as the reason for missing those campaigns.
Landeskog’s game is marked by consistent offensive contribution and steady leadership. As a long-time captain and a scorer who has produced multiple 20-goal campaigns, he combines goal-scoring ability with playmaking, while his aggressive physical style has occasionally led to disciplinary action and, over time, injury-related interruptions to his career.
