Top NHL Pick MacKinnon Signs With Colorado

DENVER, Colorado (AFP) – The Colorado Avalanche signed first-overall entry-draft pick Nathan MacKinnon to a three-year contract, the National Hockey League club announced.

MacKinnon joined fellow Canadians Sidney Crosby (2005) and Joe Thornton (1997) as the only 17-year-olds to be drafted first overall in the past 25 years.

This past season the Halifax-born teen led the Mooseheads to both the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League title and their first ever Memorial Cup championship as the top junior hockey team in North America.

MacKinnon was also voted the most valuable player of the Memorial Cup tournament which brings together the top junior teams from the Quebec league, the Ontario Hockey League and the Western Hockey League.

“His presence brings additional speed and talent to our team,” said Colorado vice-president of operations Joe Sakic.

In 44 regular season games last season with the Mooseheads, MacKinnon had 32 goals and 75 points.

Rather, the Congressperson from North Georgia made her eleventy-zillionth threat to oust the Speaker of the House from her own party, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
