Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The Colorado Avalanche announced the hiring of Andrew Wilson as assistant general manager on Friday.

Wilson, 41, spent the last 18 years working for the National Hockey League, including the past three years as vice president of central registry. He was one of the main contacts for the 32 NHL teams for issues regarding collective bargaining agreement compliance, salary cap management, trades and contracts.

The Avalanche said Wilson will be working closely with general manager Chris MacFarland on all hockey-related matters, including those pertaining to player contract negotiations, salary cap management and the CBA.

MacFarland, who has been the GM since July 2022, was the assistant GM from 2015-22. The other current assistant GM, Kevin McDonald, primarily works with the Avalanche's American Hockey League affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, as its general manger.

A rising force is quietly developing in the Dallas Stars system and everyone is noticing

Forget the household names, now's the time to watch Niilopekka Muhonen, the 19-year-old Finnish blueliner who just signed a three-year entry-level contract and looks like a monster on the back end for the Dallas Stars. He's turning heads fast. Just signed by the Stars on July 2, Muhonen is fresh off a powerful season with the Medicine Hat Tigers in the WHL, where he posted 17 points and a +20 plus/minus in 60 games after just moving to North America That's not just good, it's elite-level poise and effectiveness for someone his age. This really gets me excited for the future. Why Muhonen's size, smarts, and skating make him a future Dallas cornerstone At 6′4″ with strong mobility, Niilopekka combines physicality with excellent decision-making. Coaches have raved that he's both agile and defensively sound, precisely the kind of puck-moving defenseman the Stars crave. His contract starts next season, giving Dallas time to let him develop properly before expecting major minutes. It will be interesting to see just how much he develops until he gets to the big leagues. Recent scouting reports highlight him as "steady, reliable, and capable of matching up against skilled forwards", and that high WHL plus/minus tells the story. If he keeps progressing, he could solve Dallas' long-term need for a top-four defender, something the team has been chasing for years. For a full breakdown of the contract and stats, check out the official Stars announcement where General Manager Jim Nill confirmed his signing on the Dallas Stars website. I think the Stars may have found a gem in Muhonenm as he's the kind of under-the-radar draft pick who could turn into a cornerstone.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb sends strong message after tempers flare at training camp

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb reminded teammates to keep their cool after the team had multiple skirmishes during the first two days of training camp. Rookie defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku and tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford got involved in a brief scuffle on Tuesday. At the following practice on Wednesday, a fight broke out between safety Markquese Bell and TE Tyler Neville. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer then stopped practice and pulled the whole team together. He said the next player who threw a punch would be kicked out of practice (via Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News). "We've got to be professional," Lamb said of the incident after practice, per ESPN's Todd Archer. "I get it that we have a lot of animosity and tension between us and understanding that we want to proclaim our dominance and show like aggressiveness on both sides of the ball, but then again, to what extent?" Fighting in training camp isn't uncommon. It's an intense environment. Many are trying to prove themselves before teams trim their rosters to 53 players. However, too much brawling can threaten to tear a locker room apart. A lack of discipline was also one reason the Cowboys replaced Mike McCarthy with Schottenheimer this offseason. According to NFLPenalties.com, Dallas drew the league's sixth-most flags (128) last season. Per Archer, there were no more fights after Schottenheimer pulled the team aside. Still, the incidents raise questions about his ability to maintain control. The coach spent Wednesday morning's meeting discussing two plays where DE Sam Williams was too physical and sent to the sideline. His players must not have received the message. It's good for Dallas that Lamb seems to be echoing Schottenheimer's sentiments, but the rookie HC still must get through to his team. Rebounding from a 7-10 season could already prove challenging for the Cowboys. As of Wednesday, ESPN's Football Power Index gives Dallas a 34.5% chance to make the playoffs. Infighting will make that even more difficult.

Milwaukee Brewers: Eugenio Suarez Trade Rumors Heat Up, MLB Analyst Gives 1 Reason Team Could Have Upper Hand

The Milwaukee Brewers, at 61-41, lead the Chicago Cubs by one game in the two-team race for the National League Central Division and currently have the best record in all Major League Baseball. With 60 games remaining, though, the season is far from over and several other contending teams are about to get a whole lot better very soon. This, of course, is because the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline is right around the corner. Many teams, including Milwaukee’s biggest challengers in the National League, have been rumored and linked to various stars that are on the trade block. One of the biggest names that is expected to be moved is Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, a two-time All-Star who is hitting .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and a Major League-leading 86 RBI. And while he has been linked to many teams, including the Cubs, one MLB analyst thinks the Brewers will have the upper hand if they choose to pursue him. Why the Milwaukee Brewers Could Land Eugenio Suarez in a Trade Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin is making a case for himself to be considered for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, hitting .260/.345/.376 with five home runs and 35 RBI. But one thing that Milwaukee is seriously lacking on offense is a power hitter who can consistently hit home runs and elevate the rest of the team around him. The Brewers score many runs by utilizing small ball and taking advantage of mistakes made by opposing defenses. With so many hitters that are younger and do not have a consistent power swing, many analysts think that the Brewers would want to trade for Suarez ahead of the deadline. And one of these analysts thinks there is one thing that would tip the scales in Milwaukee’s favor in a bidding war: their pitching depth. “The vibes are immaculate right now and just about everything is going right. Why stir the pot at the trade deadline? I don’t see it that way. I see an excellent team that is as well-positioned to make a World Series run as any point in franchise history. Caleb Durbin has been red hot the last few weeks at third base, though Suárez would still be an upgrade, plus smart teams figure out how to make the “more good players than lineup spots” thing work. “Milwaukee might finish with only three double-digit home run guys this year. Suárez has game-changing power and is an excellent clubhouse guy, plus the Brewers are pretty much the only contender with rotation depth to spare. The Diamondbacks are said to be seeking young pitching in any trade. The Brewers have it. They match up very well as trade partners.” As one can see, CBS Sports believes that Milwaukee can part with one of their young controllable arms to win the Suarez sweepstakes. The big question, though, is if they would be willing to do so. Jose Quintana and Nestor Cortes will be gone next season, leaving in free agency. Freddy Peralta only has one more year left on his contract. Brandon Woodruff’s future with the team is unknown despite the good vibes surrounding his long-awaited comeback. In other words, the Brewers will need to restock their starting rotation next year, making parting with any of their current pieces a difficult decision.

Potential landing spots for Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen

Potential landing spots for Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen

As training camps begin around the NFL, the grand picture of positional rooms is starting to take shape. But not every team is finished making moves. In particular, one veteran is inching closer to transforming the wide receiver room for one lucky franchise. Veteran wideout Keenan Allen is still on the market as we head into the final month of the offseason and is ready to make his presence felt. The long-time Charger has reportedly been "waiting for training camps to open to assess the landscape better and get a clearer picture of each team's wide receiver situation." NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that Allen "has drawn interest from multiple teams in recent weeks." Months after his departure from the Chicago Bears, the free agent may finally be finding a new home. The 12-year NFL veteran has accumulated over 10,000 yards in his career, along with 59 touchdowns. In his lone season with the Bears in 2024, Allen tallied 744 yards and seven TDs. Even at 33 years old, the nimble receiver is capable of big plays. Allen has repeatedly dominated from the slot and racked up yardage operating in the middle of the field. He is as savvy as they come and a true mastermind in the NFL. There are numerous potential fits for Allen around the NFL. Namely, a reunion with either his most recent team, the Bears, or his long-time home in Los Angeles is not out of the picture. Chicago Bears The Bears are banking on breakouts from the 2024 first-round receiver Rome Odunze and 2025 second-round pick Luther Burden III to fill out their receiver room. If the Bears deem either of the two not ready, Allen could return. Los Angeles Chargers Similarly, the Chargers are relying on 2023 first-round selection Quentin Johnston and rookie Tre Harris to carry a significant portion of the load in Los Angeles. Like the Bears, if these youngsters aren't ready, Allen could come in and serve as a stopgap. New England Patriots Outside potential reunions, a selection of wide receiver-needy franchises remain as strong options. First, the Patriots have long sought help at receiver in recent years. Despite bringing Stefon Diggs this offseason, Allen could be added to help assist second-year quarterback Drake Maye in 2025. Pittsburgh Steelers Another potential destination resides in Pittsburgh. As the Steelers have loaded up on veteran talent as they push for a better season in 2025, Allen could start right away and push for a deep playoff run in the AFC. San Francisco 49ers Lastly, a name to watch for Allen's talents in the 49ers. The Niners have placed both Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall on the PUP list. Meanwhile, standout receiver Jauan Jennings has been holding out for a new contract. Things could get ugly in San Francisco in an instant; if they do, Allen would be the best possible option for them to bolster the unit.
