The Colorado Avalanche have eschewed one big “cutdown day” in favor of a series of smaller alterations to the training camp roster, but the group who will be in Los Angeles for opening night is certainly starting to take shape.Joel Kiviranta and Brandon Kozun were released from their player-tryout contracts Thursday. Both have been offered a chance to join the Colorado Eagles in the AHL. Jason Polin was also sent to the Eagles, leaving the official camp roster at 33 players.“It’s just a competitive camp. We’ve got some guys in here that have played well,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “I thought (Kiviranta and Kozun) did a nice job, but we have some other guys who probably played a little better.”The 33 left might seem like a big number with one exhibition game remaining, but several of those players are injured and will not be a factor for opening night. Gabriel Landeskog and Pavel Francouz are the most recognizable names, but Chris Wagner, Maros Jedlicka, Calum Ritchie, Jean-Luc Fo...Late UNC, NFL star Vincent Jackson headlines CHSAA Hall of Fame Class of 2023

Like many homeowners, my husband and I often play the “what do you think our home is worth?” game. The question is moot since we’re not selling our house, but we still play. We occasionally check Zillow. He believes in Zillow. I believe it’s wrong.“Zillow doesn’t know what improvements we’ve made,” I tell him. “The landscaping we put in, the new roof, the new air-conditioning system, the hardwood floors, the remodeled kitchen and bathroom.”“No,” he said, “but Zillow assumes we’re maintaining and updating.”This past week we tested our assumptions. We were doing some financial planning. I suggested we get a home appraisal, so we could stop guessing.The day the appraiser came, I was out of town and had to leave the whole matter to DC and the two dogs. (Deduct 10 percent.)
