Gabriel Landeskog was thrilled to be named captain of the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. He said, "It's something you dream about as a kid - just being a part of an organization like the Avs, and then getting honored to put the 'C' on, especially with the history that this club has with Joe Sakic and Adam Foote and obviously Milan Hejduk, it's a pretty humbling experience." Milan Hejduk will wear an 'A' on his sweater instead now. Coach Joe Sacco said the 19-year-old Landeskog " is way mature beyond his years" and that he has a "natural leadership ability." Landeskog impressed fantasy owners with his rookie season in 2011-12 and he should build on that this campaign in his new role as the team's captain.
