Bo Byram is unhindered in Avalanche’s system and still just getting started: “I’ve just been trying to shoot the puck more.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:17:02 GMT

As teammates wished Kurtis MacDermid a happy birthday in the Avalanche practice facility locker room March 25, Bo Byram piped in. With a mischievous grin, he implored reporters in the room to shower MacDermid with attention, making sure to point out the enforcer’s age. MacDermid was turning 29.A week later as Jack Johnson reached his 1,100th career game and was asked the secret to his longevity, Byram interrupted from his stall: “Hanging out with young guys.”The reminders are constant that Byram is still only 21 years old, even as the Avalanche defenseman makes that harder to believe on a nightly basis. Byram is unhindered right now, and he’s becoming increasingly unleashed.Already one of the most talented players on a stacked Colorado roster, he has the green light from coaches and from the team’s structure to be as assertive as he wants offensively. He built trust with a steady, reliable 20-game playoff resume last year: no goals but nine assists, a l...

Westside knew the city had struck a deal to purchase the land for a regional park. And still, Westside paid an undisclosed amount to buy the right-of-first refusal and then paid $24 million for the land.In other words, Andy Klein and his partners and investors forced Denver to play a game with them, knowing they were underdogs, and now are playing the role of poor loser in dramatic fashion, telling Westword they will consider putting a Topgolf ...
