Reports indicate that former GM Ken Holland was directed to secure early extensions for both players but failed to act. This lapse in timely negotiations may have led to unfavorable consequences for the team, including the St. Louis Blues submitting offer sheets for both players.

Welcome everyone to Bubble Keeper Week here at Dobber Hockey! Every offseason, we like to take a week to focus solely on the keepers at the end of the roster. They are the decisions that can drive any fantasy hockey owner up the wall because we know there's a chance that we are letting go of a player who could have a huge year for a guy that lays an egg. It is the game we've chosen to play, but there's no reason to fly blind in this matter.

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.

Denver doesn’t look very “vibrant,” to use the mayor’s term, when bus stops are transformed into open-air drug dens. In fact, the people who smoke meth and fentanyl in homeless encampments, in front of businesses and walking down the street are tarnishing the reputation of Denver’s unhoused neighbors.
