We keep talking about how limited the options are for teams to make significant improvement via free agency . One name many Blackhawks fans have liked for a couple years — including me — is now off the market for the 2026 shopping season.
On Thursday, the Colorado Avalance signed forward Martin Nečas to a blockbuster contract. The deal is reportedly an eight-year, $92M extension ($11.5M AAV).

The Colorado Avalanche have locked up Martin Necas for the long term, agreeing on an eight year, $92 million deal at a whopping $11.5 million AAV. According to Elliotte Friedman , the contract is front-loaded with $60M in signing bonuses, and includes a full no-move clause for the first 7 years of the deal. It brings to an end, essentially, the long, drawn-out affair that began with the Avs’ sudden, shocking trade of superstar Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes for Necas la...
The New Jersey Devils , despite a stumble against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, are off to a red-hot start to the season, at 8-2-0, leading the Metropolitan Division. So far, particularly with the sizzling performance of Jack Hughes, along with the rest of their top forwards, the preseason need of a top-six boost has fallen by the wayside at this point. But as noted by New Jersey Hockey Now's James Nichols , reinforcements will be needed at some point, and they're still looking for ...

This Boise State RB helped Fresno own the Milk Can. He wants BSU to get it back It’s not every day that a player has experienced both sides of a rivalry, but that’s the case for Boise State, and former Fresno State running back Malik Sherrod. The Broncos host the Bulldogs this Saturday at 1:30 […]
Here we go again… Recently, in discussions over cigars, cognac and counting the billions we all make writing about the Houston Texans, the BRB masthead tossed around the idea of the team doing poorly vs teams with a top notch pass rush. Currently, the 3 teams considered to have the best pass rush in the […]
The Colorado Avalanche have an important stretch of months, or potentially shorter, ahead of them. There is not only Martin Necas, whom the team acquired last season, to sign, but more to solidify the future and remain a Stanley Cup contender. Necas is in the last year of his deal and is a UFA after the season, but Cale Makar is more important in the Avalanche's mind than Necas. The team would like to get both signed long-term, as they have been integral parts of the success during their time ...
Back on June 2, I wrote an article about the Colorado Rockies then-record, but also rescored each game based on “Banana Ball” rules, inspired by the Savannah Bananas. At that time, the Rockies were 12-50 with a run differential of -181. Based on Banana Ball rules, they would’ve actually been 14-15-33 with a run differential […]

San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro has been a popular name in the rumor mill early on this season. The left-shot blueliner is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), so he could be a very popular trade target around the NHL once we get closer to the trade deadline. Due to this, let's look at three teams who could look to acquire Ferraro this season. Colorado Avalanche The Avalanche could be a team to watch when it comes to Ferraro this season.

The Dallas Cowboys game against the Denver Broncos might have been a deciding factor for the team. Heading into that game, momentum had swung behind the Cowboys after the defense showed signs of life versus an undermanned Washington Commanders squad. A win against a competent team on the road like the Broncos would push momentum […]
One Golden State Warriors fan got into the Halloween spirit a little early.
During Tuesday night’s meeting with the Denver Nuggets at the Chase Center, the local broadcast crew spotted a familiar-looking fan in the stands. The cameras locked in on a man sporting a throwback Steve Kerr uniform from his time with the Chicago Bulls . They proceeded to show a full look at the fan’s backside, where the resemblance to the current Warriors head coach was uncanny .
The announcers said that a...
We are eight games into the Brian Schottenheimer era, nearly halfway through the season, and so far there is a lot to like about the 10th head coach of America’s Team. Even after a miserable performance against the Broncos, the offense – for which Schottenheimer calls plays – has been stellar. They’re second in both […]
Another road game, another loss for the Cowboys. This time, the loss ended up being a runaway for the Broncos, who hammered Dallas early and never let up. In truth, this game was over by halftime, and these five plays were a big reason why. False start kills early offensive drive It’s easy to forget, […]
As the Colorado Avalanche enjoyed a day off, they still announced the signing this week of minor league forward Tristen Nielsen to a two-year NHL contract beginning this season. Per PuckPedia, the cap hit is $775 on a two-way deal with guarantees of $150K in year one and $225K in year two. The 25-year-old left […]

This week we have David Howman, Tom Ryle, and Sean Martin. What was the true root cause of the collapse against the Broncos? Scheme, execution or poor coaching? Mike: If you slice it […]
Yes, I’m once again delving into the theoretical world of free agency to help the Colorado Rockies. Once again, I acknowledge this is fairly far-fetched and not likely to happen, but the idea of it is tantalizing enough that it’s worth thinking about. As I mentioned in the Paul Goldschmidt piece last week, MLB.com’s Thomas […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links The eight-game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Tuesday night against the Avalanche. The Devils made things interesting with a dramatic comeback attempt in the second period, but ultimately New Jersey gave up too many power play goals, Jacob Markstrom had a rough outing in […]

In an October during which just about everything had gone right for the New Jersey Devils while winning eight of their first nine games, the same cannot be said for their No. 1 goalie. Jacob Markstrom, brought in two summers ago, to shore up the team’s shaky net-minding and give them a veteran presence in […]
