06/29/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Dallas Stars announced on Tuesday that they will not offer forward Mike Modano, one of the greatest American hockey players in NHL history, a new contract.
"We have the upmost respect for Mike Modano," said general manager Joe Nieuwendyk said. "He will always be a huge part of this hockey club. He is a great teammate and a great person. Mike is the face of this franchise. That's what makes this decision so hard."
Modano, the first overall pick of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, spent his entire career with the Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars franchise and amassed 557 goals and 802 assists in 1,459 regular season games. The goals and points total (1,359) are the most for any American 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.
Modano will now become a free agent on July 1, but he stated last week that he wasn't sure if he would retire or try to play for another team.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
