Leafs sign MacArthur for one year

Hockey Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Free-agent forward Clarke MacArthur was signed to a one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but TSN of Canada reported the deal is worth $1.1 million.

MacArthur became an unrestricted free agent earlier in the off-season after the Atlanta Thrashers walked away from an arbitrator's decision.

According to reports, the 25-year-old, a restricted free agent, was awarded a $2.4 million deal by an arbitrator, but Atlanta decided to walk away from the ruling -- an action that is well within an organization's rights but is a rare occurrence.

MacArthur split last season with Buffalo and Atlanta, coming over from the Thrashers on a trade-deadline deal March 3. He compiled 16 goals and 35 points in 81 games a season ago.

In four NHL seasons, the Alberta native has racked up 44 goals and 88 points in 208 career contests.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
