Hockey Betting Lines
07/03/2009 -
Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash was
reportedly signed to an eight-year, $62.4 million contract extension.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Nash's deal means an annual salary cap hit of
$7.8 million for the Blue Jackets. He'll earn $7 million for the upcoming
season, the last year of his current contract. Nash will then make $7.5
million in 2010-11, according to the Dispatch, and the deal escalates until
he makes $8.2 million in 2017-18.
The 25-year-old Nash, who is captain of the team, had 40 goals and 39 assists
over 78 games last season. The first overall pick of the 2002 draft, Nash has
spent his entire six-season NHL career playing for Columbus and has a
franchise-record 194 goals to go with 161 assists over 441 games.
This past season, Nash helped Columbus to its first-ever postseason berth,
although the Blue Jackets were swept by the Detroit Red Wings in the opening
round.
Nash won the Maurice Richard Trophy for the most goals in the league with 41
during the 2003-04 season, which happened to be the first of his four All-Star
appearances.
