Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:51:37 GMT

There’s fair reason for Avalanche fans to be paranoid about lingering injuries when a newcomer arrives in Colorado these days, considering the baggage of last season that’s already stretching into the next one.But the prognosis is promising for center Ryan Johansen, the Avalanche’s newest trade acquisition.Johansen underwent surgery on his right leg in February after his ankle was sliced by a skate, causing him to miss the last 27 games of the season. But the Avs wouldn’t have made the trade with Nashville on Saturday without knowing Johansen’s recovery status was on steady pace. On Monday morning, Johansen confirmed it was.“I’d say I’m super close to 100% now,” he told reporters. “And hopefully it’ll be by August, I think, just full-on normal.”He was initially assessed a 12-week timeline by the Predators in late February. That timeline has passed, and Colorado’s goal is to have Johansen healthy and ready ...

Tenants say a 3-year ban on evictions kept them housed. Landlords say they're drowning in debt

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:51:37 GMT

Retiree Pamela Haile has paid property taxes, insurance and other bills on a house she lets out in Oakland, but for more than three years her tenants have paid no rent thanks to one of the longest-lasting eviction bans in the country. The eviction moratorium in the San Francisco Bay Area city expires next month and Haile can't wait. The 69-year-old estimates she is owed more than $60,000 in back rent, money she doubts she will ever see. Moreover, the tenants have trashed her house and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to make it habitable, she says. Is it cheaper to be a renter or a homeowner near you? “It's unbelievable and it’s like, how can they have the nerve to just let something like this happen? If this happened to them, how would they feel?” Haile said of her tenants. "Dealing with this whole thing gets me so upset.” Eviction moratoriums were put in place across the U.S. at the start of the pandemic in 2020 to prevent displacement and curb the spread of the corona...
