Hockey Betting Lines
07/02/2009 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Blackhawks have signed center John
Madden to a one-year contract.
Financial terms of the deal for the long-time New Jersey Devils defensive
standout were not disclosed, but the Newark Star-Ledger had reported it to be
worth $2.75 million.
Madden had spent his entire career with the Devils, helping the club to a pair
of Stanley Cup titles. He posted seven goals and 16 assists in 76 games last
season, but is best known for his ability to shut down top opposing centers.
The 36-year-old veteran won the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive
forward in 2001 and was a finalist for the honor in 2003, 2004 and 2008. He
also holds the Devils franchise record with 17 short-handed goals.
"John is a proven winner and one of the premier defensive forwards in the game
who also has the talent to contribute with timely offense as well," said
Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon. "Adding his experience to our team is
an important piece to the puzzle."
Madden notched a career-best 43 points during the 2007-08 campaign and owns
career totals of 140 goals, 157 assists and 297 points over 712 regular-season
games. He has chipped in 20 goals and 21 assists for 41 points in 112 playoff
tilts.
