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.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
