Avalanche sign forward Ross Colton to a four-year contract and avoid arbitration

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:11 GMT

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Avalanche have avoided arbitration with forward Ross Colton, signing him to a four-year contract.The deal is worth $16 million with a $4 million annual salary-cap hit, according to a person with knowledge of the move. The person spoke Monday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team doesn’t disclose contract terms.Colorado acquired Colton from cap-strapped Tampa Bay prior to the NHL draft for the 37th pick. Colton was a restricted free agent whose arbitration rights could have hurt the Lightning, making him their top trade candidate.Colton, now 26, scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for Tampa Bay in 2021. He was also with the Lightning the following year when they lost to the Avalanche in the final.“Ross is a hard-working, two-way center with a championship pedigree,” Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said at the time of the trade. “He has physicality to his game, is ultra-competitive and his versatility will make...

Hot and Stormy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:11 GMT

South Florida continues to have blazing hot weather days with cooling showers and storms. Temperatures (Monday) stopped short of record highs except for Marathon which set a new record high of 98-degrees! Across the Mainland, the “heat retreated” as thunderstorms developed in the afternoon. Some of the storms reached severe limits and we had reports of quarter size hail in Parkland. Gusty winds also formed. Some gusts reached as high as 50-55 mph with some of the strongest activity. For now, we’re stuck with lingering deep moisture over the region. When combined with daytime heat and sea breeze boundaries, conditions are ripe for developing storms. The same general pattern is likely for Tuesday and Wednesday. The only small difference will involve a more onshore flow into the midweek. That will happen as Atlantic High Pressure builds back to the west (closer to the Bahamas). Another feature that could play role in our weather, mainly Wednesday, will be ...

Column: Wrigley Field’s drawing power means the Chicago Cubs need only the illusion of contending

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:11 GMT

Back in the opening week of the 2006 season, in a Chicago Tribune article accompanied by cartoonist Rick Tuma’s illustrations, I offered some predictions of what a Wrigley Field experience would be like 20 years in the future.“No one knows what Wrigley Field or the Cubs will look like 20 years from now,” I wrote. “But at this rate there will be far fewer day games, bleacher tickets will cost $400 and the manager still will be barking about his players’ fundamentals.”The 2006 Cubs were 98 years into the franchise’s famous World Series drought and entering the final year of the Andy MacPhail era, which began with the ill-advised marketing slogan “We’re Working On It” and ended with the dismissal of Dusty Baker.Though three years remain until 2026, I’ve given up on most of my predictions, some of which were purposely silly, such as “rent-a-glove booths” for fans and a section of the right-field bleachers offi...

Tax cuts required to compete, Healey says in urging lawmakers to take up her plan

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:11 GMT

The state needs to move forward with a tax cut package this year if lawmakers hope to keep the commonwealth competitive, Gov. Maura Healey said in Andover on Monday.“I think the three tenants of our administration have been affordability, competitiveness, and equity,” she said. “It is really important we get tax relief for our competitive advantage and for making life more affordable for more people around the state.”Speaking shortly after announcing millions in workforce development grants aimed at helping the state’s employers find skilled talent from within the Commonwealth, Healey was responding to a question about a weekend television appearance by House Speaker Ron Mariano, in which the latter seemed to express concern over the fate of a proposed cut to the short term capital gains tax rate.A plan to slash the tax from 12% to 5%, bringing Massachusetts more in line with surrounding states, was included in tax reform proposals offered by the House and the governor.However the p...
