Drafted second overall in 2011, Landeskog won the Calder Trophy with a 52 Point season. The Left Winger was injured for most of his sophomore campaign, but he would return in his third through the fifth season to score over 50 Points in each of those years. After a downturn in 2016-17, when he scored 33 Points, he rebounded with 62 Points in 2017-18 and achieved his best season with 75 Points in 2018-19.
Should the Swedish star repeat his All-Star form, he will easily climb this list, though his consistency has already seen that occur, along with his performance in Colorado's 2022 Stanley Cup win, where he led all skaters with a +15 Plus/Minus. Following the Stanley Cup win, Landeskog underwent a series of surgeries on his knees that cost him the 2022-23 and 2023-24 Seasons. He would have an emotional return to the lineup in the 2025 playoffs, and here is hoping that he will return to a high level.
