Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog and teammates John Mitchell and Jarome Iginla and assistant trainer Scott Woodward attended Friday’s 25th Shaka Franklin Foundation luncheon at the downtown Marriott City Center. Landeskog declined to play for Sweden at the upcoming World Championship because of a wrist injury, and he indeed had surgery. Landy posed for pictures with his soft-casted left arm behind him and, like a typical hockey player, he didn’t want to say much about the injury.
Meanwhile, Avalanche GM Joe Sakic, through a team spokesman, said he will meet with The Post in the coming weeks about drafting 10th in the June NHL draft, along with other items. The team declined to confirm or deny rumors it has signed forward Andreas Martinsen of Norway, an undrafted free agent of the Borna Rendulic and Dennis Everberg ilk. Stay tuned.
