Ducks' Selanne plans to return for one more year

Hockey Betting Lines

08/06/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Teemu Selanne is apparently returning to the NHL next season.

TSN of Canada reported Friday that Selanne revealed to Finnish magazine Sports Journal that he wants to come back to the league for at least the upcoming season and that a deal with the Anaheim Ducks is pending.

The 40-year-old Finn completed his injury-plagued 17th season with 27 goals and 48 points in 54 games.

In the process, he became the third European-born player in league history to top the 600-goal plateau, and also passed Hall-of-Famer and five-time Stanley Cup champion Jari Kurri for most goals scored in a career by a Finnish-born player.

Selanne currently has 606 scores while Kurri retired with 601, while Czech- native Jaromir Jagr holds the European-born NHL record at 646.

In addition, Selanne has reportedly contacted former Mighty Ducks and Avalanche teammate Paul Kariya about a reunion this season. Kariya and Selanne were a high-scoring duo with Anaheim from late in the 1995-96 season until 2001, and both played in Colorado in 2003-04.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
