Hockey Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks on Friday signed defenseman Nick Leddy to a three-year contract.

Leddy came over from Minnesota on February 12 in the trade that sent Cam Barker to the Wild. He was taken 16th overall by the Wild in the 2009 draft.

"Nick impressed us with his conditioning and development at our prospect camp in July to the point that we are confident in him bringing his game to the professional level," Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said.

The 19-year-old registered three goals and eight assists during his freshmen season at the University of Minnesota in 2009-10.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
