Avalanche offseason primer: What’s next in free agency after Avs’ 2022-23 season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:36:34 GMT

The Avalanche played Game 1 of their first-round series vs. Nashville a year ago on May 3, beginning their 20-game run to the Stanley Cup. The one-year anniversary of that game was after Colorado had already been eliminated by Seattle in seven games this year.After an unusually short offseason — even for a champion — and a turbulent 2022-23 season filled with injuries, it’s time for Colorado to reset.The same core will be back for the 2023-24 season, with Nathan MacKinnon’s new contract extension going into effect and making him the highest-paid player in the NHL. But general manager Chris MacFarland and team president Joe Sakic have an opportunity to overhaul their depth if they so wish. Here’s a look at where the Avs stand.Who’s under contract next season?Colorado has $69.6125 million in contracts on the books for 13 players. Those contracts would eat 83.4% of the Avalanche’s cap space if the league salary cap only increases by $1 million, as has been...

Hiltzik: Supreme Court rejects ethics oversight. Can anything change that?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:36:34 GMT

It’s hardly a secret that the public standing of the Supreme Court is in a bad way.The reasons go beyond a string of recent rulings that run counter to the weight of public opinion — eviscerating abortion rights, shrinking voting rights, undermining gun safety regulations among them.But the court now has another problem, namely, increasing doubts about the justices’ ethical standards.The doubts arise from publicity about a potentially improper financial relationship between Justice Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow, a wealthy real estate developer; questions about whether Thomas and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. should have recused themselves because of the appearance (at least) of conflicts of interest due to their wives’ activities; and questions about whether Thomas and Justice Neil M. Gorsuch made adequate disclosures about their financial transactions.Beyond the specifics, the allegations have focused attention on an inconvenient fact about the ethical atmos...
