This afternoon there is growing concern that a former first-round pick might have to abandon playing hockey in North America due to a lack of interest. The NHL offseason is the beginning of a career for many young stars in the NHL. It can also be the end of the journey for a player who once was looked at as a promising young talent. This summer that could be the case for former Edmonton Oilers top prospect Kailer Yamamoto.

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.

When you win a championship, not much needs to change. That was the Boston Celtics' philosophy this offseason, as Brad Stevens actually didn't make any big moves for once. Last offseason, the Celtics made their championship push by trading for Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. This offseason, the Celtics didn't make any additions because they instead retained their entire roster during NBA free agency in attempts to contend for back-to-back titles.

Former NHL head coach Bruce Boudreau thinks the Toronto Maple Leafs had one of the best offseasons this summer. Toronto didn’t add anyone to the forward group but did focus on goal prevention by signing defenseman Chris Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and goalie Anthony Stolarz. It was minimal moves but Boudreau liked what the team did.

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.

The NBA isn't a perfect professional basketball league. Still, their new power rankings surrounding the Western Conference teams have raised eyebrows, especially from those who follow the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks recently fell by one point and into third place behind the second-place Denver Nuggets and the first-place Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavericks' third-place ranking is arguably disrespectful due to the team's 2024 Western Conference title and high-profile 2024 NBA offseason signings.

The future of the NHL has never looked brighter due to the increase in talent across the league. While generational talents Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, and Alexander Ovechkin can be attributed to the league’s success at the turn of the century, the future lies on the backs of Connor McDavid, Connor Bedard, and others. The Connors were arguably the two greatest prospects to ever be selected in the NHL Draft, and while they have an eight-year age gap, comparing their rookie seasons can better contextualize who will have the better future.
