The summer's top unrestricted free agent isn't going anywhere. The Florida Panthers re-signed star forward Sam Reinhart to a maximum-term eight-year extension, the team announced Monday. The contract carries an $8.625-million AAV, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Reinhart's new deal slots him as Florida's third-highest-paid player behind captain Aleksander Barkov...

The Predators are writing a whole new definition for the word “reset”. They landed multiple big names early on in free agency, with Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei. Last year’s free agent signings there were viewed skeptically at the start, with Ryan O’Reilly and Gustav Nyquist...

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

The Aurora City Council will hold a public hearing Monday on whether to allow cannabis dispensaries to stay open until midnight. State law allows marijuana dispensaries to stay open until midnight, but some jurisdictions such as Aurora shortened hours to 10 p.m. Council member Curtis Gardner has brought forth the ordinance to lengthen the hours.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Chicago, IL

Chicago bolstered their winger depth on Monday, adding Teuvo Teravainen and Tyler Bertuzzi to the fold. These deals represent sizeable commitments for Chicago as Bertuzzi is on contract for four seasons and Teravainen for three. That's significant because as I write this, none of the team's other forwards have more than two years remaining on their deals. Bertuzzi and Teravainen's cap hits rank second and third respectively among Chicago forwards, behind only Taylor Hall ($6 million).

Fantasy Take: Teravainen & Bertuzzi Bound for Blackhawks

Mayor Mike Johnston’s stated goal Monday to end veteran homelessness is something the city of Denver has been promising for at least 10 years.
