It's official: Modano signs with Red Wings
Hockey Betting Lines
08/05/2010 -
Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Red Wings made it official on
Thursday and agreed to a one-year contract with veteran center Mike Modano.
Financial terms were not disclosed, per team policy, but the Detroit Free
Press previously reported the deal was worth $1.25 million.
The Livonia, Michigan native was the first overall pick of the 1988 NHL
Entry Draft and had spent his entire 20-year career with the Minnesota North
Stars/Dallas Stars franchise, registering 557 goals and 802 assists in 1,459
regular season games. The goals and points total (1,359) are the most for any
American-born hockey player in NHL history.
The 40-year-old also helped the Stars win their first and only Stanley Cup
championship in 1998-99, recording 34 goals and 47 assists during that regular
season in addition to 23 playoff points.
In his rookie campaign in 1990, he was a finalist for the Calder Trophy as the
league's top rookie, but he lost out to 31-year-old Sergei Makarov, who had
been playing in the Soviet Championship League for 12 years before coming to
the NHL. This led to the NHL changing the age requirements for the Calder
Trophy so that no one over the age of 26 could win the award.
His playoff records are just as impressive, holding the record for most
postseason points by an American-born player with 145 (58 goals, 87 assists)
in 174 games.
He is only the 14th player to score 500 goals with one team and 39th, overall.
The Stars did not offer their franchise star a contract following his 14-goal,
16-assist 2009-10 campaign.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
