No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.

The Montreal Canadiens have plenty of reasons to get excited about their future. They have one of the best defensive pipelines in the league, a possible stud goaltender waiting to sign his pro contract, and chose two elite offensive players in the first round of this year's draft. Their defensive group is so loaded that they're looking to trade some top veterans like David Savard and Mike Matheson this offseason. The Canadiens might have to wait for Ivan Demidov and Michael Hage to make their debuts, but they have some other young breakout candidates in 2024-25.

By LINLEY SANDERS and SEUNG MIN KIM, Associated Press. As Vice President Kamala Harris prepares to announce her running mate, a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that several of the top contenders for the role are largely unknown to Americans. Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly stands out as one with more name recognition and higher favorability, particularly among Democrats.

Every season, we expect certain teams to perform to certain standards based on their roster. However, a few teams always decide to turn the tables on our predictions. Last season, the Vancouver Canucks, who, after missing the playoffs by 12 points in 2022-23, took the league by storm, winning the Pacific Division and making it to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Similarly, the Nashville Predators, who, after parting ways with many long-time players at the 2023 Trade Deadline, willed their way to the playoffs last season.

The 2024-25 season will begin in 65 days, yet several questions about the Toronto Maple Leafs remain unanswered. Among the most pressing is the status of Jani Hakanpää. Recently spotted at a Finnish golf charity event in a Dallas Stars jersey, there has been no official statement from the Maple Leafs about his signing. Additionally, there are lingering questions about star forward Mitch Marner and whether the team will clear cap space through trades before the season starts.

Toronto Maple Leafs’ 2024-25 Projected Lineup

The Colorado Avalanche have signed defenseman Oliver Kylington to a one-year contract worth $1.05 million. The 27-year-old was previously with the Calgary Flames, where he played 33 games in the 2023-24 season, recording eight points (3 goals, 5 assists). He missed the 2022-23 season, but in 2021-22, he had a breakout campaign, posting nine goals and 31 points in 73 games. Kylington’s journey back to the NHL has been a fight, as he missed the entire 2022-23 season and the first half of the 2023-24 campaign due to personal reasons.

Nick Robertson, the 22-year-old restricted free-agent winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs, has declared his intention not to re-sign with the team this summer. An RFA who could be part of a solid forward mix in 2024-25, on June 30, TSN’s Chris Johnston reported that Robertson informed the Leafs’ management of his desire to be traded, setting the stage for a potential standoff that could extend into training camp and possibly the start of the regular season.

Trade rumors continue to swirl around Columbus Blue Jackets sniper Patrik Laine, who was cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player’s Assistance Program earlier this summer. The 26-year-old has requested a move out of Ohio, and potential suitors now have the green light to inquire about the former 44-goal scorer. Multiple teams are reportedly interested in the […]
