Compher is indeed gone for greener pastures, the Avalanche might have found his second-line successor at little to no cost.The Avs traded pending unrestricted free agent Alex Galchenyuk to the Nashville Predators for 30-year-old center Ryan Johansen on Saturday, a week before free agency opens. Nashville will retain half of Johansen’s $8 million salary for the remaining two years on his contract, meaning Colorado is on the hook for $4 million in salary cap space. Compher’s average annual value on his expiring contract was $3.5 million.Johansen missed the last 27 games of 2022-23 due to right leg surgery, finishing the season with 28 points in 55 games. The year before, he had one of his best career outputs with 26 goals and 63 points. He has six 60-point seasons including a career-high 33 goals for the Blue Jackets in 2013-14.

California’s famous coastline is a popular destination for residents and tourists alike, especially during the summer; however, not everyone enjoys the ocean water.From multiple oil spills to floating debris, the Pacific Ocean off California's coastline has endured much hardship.

We look forward to adding him to our team.”The move is a big splash for the Avalanche, who lost in the first round of the playoffs to Seattle this past season. They recently learned captain Gabriel Landeskog would miss the entire 2023-24 season while recovering from cartilage replacement surgery in his right knee.Johansen, who turns 31 in July, steps into the role previously filled by Nazem Kadri, who left after Colorado won t...The welcomes for Wembanyama continue in San Antonio as the focus shifts to what’s next
