Report: Modano to join Red Wings

Hockey Betting Lines

08/03/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Modano is reportedly set to sign with the Detroit Red Wings later this week.

The Livonia, Michigan native said in a text message to the Detroit Free Press that he will make a "Big announcement" on Thursday. The Free Press reported Modano will sign with Detroit, which has given him a one-year, $1.25 million offer.

Modano, the first overall pick of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, had spent his entire 20-year 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-born 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.

The Stars did not offer their franchise star a contract following his 14-goal, 16-assist 2009-10 campaign.
