Flyers deal Gagne to Tampa BayHockey Betting Lines07/19/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Flyers have traded left wing Simon Gagne to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for defenseman Matt Walker and fourth-round pick in 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Gagne, an oft-injured but talented forward, had one year left on his contract worth a reported $5.25 million and had to waive his no-trade clause. The Flyers also needed to make a move to get under the salary cap and add depth on the blue line. "This was a move to solidify our defense," said Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. "Matt Walker is a right shot defenseman that we like; he brings size, grit and toughness to our back end. Simon Gagne played 10 seasons for the Flyers and was not only a good player for us, but also handled himself in a first class manner on and off the ice." The 30-year-old Gagne was the longest-tenured Flyer, spending 10 seasons with the franchise. He appeared in just 58 games this past season, sitting out the first 24 contests following abdominal surgery, and notched 17 goals with 23 assists for 40 points. A broken foot suffered in the first round of the playoffs this spring, though, only cost him four games as he returned well ahead of the projected 2-to-4 week prognosis. He tallied nine goals and three assists for 12 points in 19 games to help the Flyers reach the Stanley Cup Finals. "I'm very excited right now," Gagne said. "I'm looking at this opportunity as a new challenge and a new start. Tampa Bay was a team I was more than willing to waive my no move clause for. I really like the direction the team is headed in with a solid owner, Steve Yzerman as GM and coach Boucher. I'm really looking forward to playing with guys like [Vincent] Lecavalier, [Steven] Stamkos and [Martin] St. Louis. I'm excited to be a member of the Lightning and I'm looking forward to starting next season in Tampa Bay." Concussion and groin problems allowed him to play just 46 games during the 2002-03 season and he appeared in only 25 games in 2007-08 because of concussion symptoms. Gagne has twice reached the 40-goal plateau and in 664 career regular-season games has compiled 259 goals with 265 assists for 524 points. "In adding Simon to the Lightning today, we acquire a very talented player that will play alongside our top forwards," said Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman. "With his combination of speed and skill we are excited to have him with us and grateful he was willing to waive his no movement clause. This trade not only makes us a better team in the short-term, it helps create long- term flexibility for us, which all along has been one of our top priorities." Walker had signed a multi-year deal last summer and spent just one season with the Lightning. He posted a mere two goals with three assists for five points and had a minus-11 rating in 66 games. The 30-year-old veteran has also played for the Blues and Blackhawks in his seven-year career. He has four goals and 26 assists for 30 points in 306 NHL games.

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.
