Wild land Havlat
Hockey Betting Lines
07/02/2009 - St. Paul, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - On the same day they lost forward Marian Gaborik to free agency, the Minnesota Wild made a big splash by coming to terms with right wing Martin Havlat on a six-year contract.
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports the deal is worth $30 million, which is the richest total contract in team history.
The first day of free agency saw Gaborik, who had spent his entire seven-year career with the Wild, go to the New York Rangers in a five-year package.
The Wild then signed the 28-year-old Havlat away from the Blackhawks. Last season, he led Chicago with a career-high 77 points (29 goals, 48 assists), while skating in a career-best 81 games.
"We are excited to add the speed and scoring of Martin Havlat to our lineup," said Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher. "He is a terrific two-way player."
The 6-foot-2 native of Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic, has recorded 169 goals and 227 assists in eight seasons with Ottawa and Chicago.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
