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

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:57:04 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 Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:57:04 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...

Kurtenbach: A small Warriors Game 2 change exposed the Lakers’ biggest flaw

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:57:04 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — A stomach bug might have won the Warriors their second-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers.It certainly highlighted the fundamental difference between these two teams and showed just how difficult it will be for the Lakers to take another lead, much less win it.Typically both of these teams start two non-shooters.But when Warriors center Kevon Looney came down ill two hours before Game 2, it forced coach Steve Kerr to drop him from the starting lineup. One non-shooter was out.In came JaMychal Green at center. He is absolutely a shooter.The result was total Lakers befuddlement, back-to-back 40-plus-point quarters for the Warriors, and a 27-point Golden State victory.Yes, there were other adjustments the Warriors made: The ball was in Steph Curry’s hands more on offense. They drove to the basket more and seriously crashed the glass. The Warriors clogged the paint on defense, and they didn’t commit a dozen stupid fouls on the Lakers, either.But the m...

Court hears first-of-its-kind challenge to police’s use of Google search terms to ID murder suspects

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:57:04 GMT

GRAND JUNCTION — The Colorado Supreme Court on Thursday grappled with privacy and freedom of speech concerns as the justices heard a legal challenge to a controversial new law enforcement technique that Denver police used to identify the three teenagers accused of killing five people in a house fire three years ago.The groundbreaking legal case considers for the first time in Colorado — and, attorneys said, nationally — whether police can legally issue search warrants that require Google to turn over account information for any users who searched particular keywords in a particular time frame.Such “reverse keyword search warrants” require Google to scan through potentially billions of search histories in order to find the keywords sought by law enforcement. Attorneys challenging the warrant said during oral arguments Thursday that the massive scope amounts to an illegal search that violates Google users’ constitutional protections for free speech and against unreasonable searches.
