Wild take Rosemount native Charlie Stramel in first round of 2023 NHL Draft

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:11:27 GMT

NASHVILLE — After waiting at the mercy of other teams for a couple of hours on Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, the Wild wasted very little time once they were finally on the clock. They proudly selected Rosemount native Charlie Stramel with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, and with that, continued to bolster an already deep prospect pool.The most important thing to know about Stramel is that he plays center. That’s long been a position of need for the Wild and they clearly feel like the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Stramel can help them up the middle. He currently plays for the University of Wisconsin and finished his freshman campaign with 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in 33 games.Though he won’t contribute for the Wild any time soon, it’s reasonable to think Stramel could make an impact down the road.To the surprise of absolutely nobody, future superstar Connor Bedard went No. 1 overall to the Chicago Blackhawks. Yes, that means the...

Ross Colton talks trade to Avalanche, pending contract situation, favorite moments with Lightning

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:11:27 GMT

Ross Colton went to certain lengths to prepare himself for the moment, but it still inevitably hit him with a wall of emotion.He had just gotten to the gym for a Wednesday morning workout in New Jersey and was “sitting on a turf, rolling out,” when the phone rang. It was Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois.“These last couple of days, I’m not gonna lie, have been going by pretty slow,” Colton told The Denver Post. “I never keep my ringer on, but the last three days I had it on, turned up. So when I’m texting, people were mad that I was being obnoxious. But I was just getting nervous waiting for the call.”During his exit interview with Tampa after the season, there wasn’t much talk about next year. “It was said that this is a business, and next year is kind of up in the air,” recalled Colton, a restricted free agent. “So once that was said, I kind of had an idea I was going to be moved.” He just didn’...

Keeler: Nuggets dynasty? For ex-CU Buffs star Derrick White, that would be awesome. Slightly painful. But awesome. “Everybody’s got to hunt them down.”

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:11:27 GMT

PARKER — While the 16-year-old inside Derrick White was all shook up, the 28-year-old Boston Celtic on the outside was tempted to pull an Elvis on his television set.“I mean, it was tough to watch,” White, the former CU Buffs and Legend High star told me during a break at his Derrick White Academy basketball youth camp Wednesday at Parker Fieldhouse. “I watched Game 5 (of the NBA Finals). That was the only one I watched.”On this much, all the voices inside White’s head agree. The Nuggets haven’t just set the bar for the rest of the NBA. They are the bar. With or without free-agent super sub Bruce Brown riding shotgun.“I don’t know about favorites or not. That’s out of my pay range,” White laughed. “But they were the best team last year. They did what they needed to do. And everybody’s now got to hunt them down.”If Boston’s Jayson Tatum doesn’t roll his ankle in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat, what the hey? Maybe somebody else is king...
