Calder to Detroit, Williams to Chicago in three-way deal

Hockey Betting Lines

02/27/2007 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Flyers dealt struggling Kyle Calder in a three-way deal that saw the left winger wind up in Detroit and center Jason Williams land in Chicago on Monday.

The Blackhawks sent defenseman Lasse Kukkonen and a third-round pick in 2007 to Philadelphia, then Chicago dealt Calder to Detroit for Jason Williams.

The deal came down on the day before the NHL's trading deadline.

Calder had scored a career-high 26 goals for Chicago in the 2005-06 season, but did not score a goal in his first 28 games with Philadelphia and has totaled nine goals and 12 assists in 59 contests.

In his seventh season, Calder has notched 94 goals with 137 assists in 418 games.

"With Kyle's pending unrestricted free agent status coming up, we did make an attempt to sign him, but it didn't look like we were going to get it done before the trade deadline tomorrow," said Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. "We just felt that we couldn't afford to take a chance and get nothing in return for an asset like Kyle. We did what we needed to do."

Williams, 26, had a breakout season last year with the Red Wings as he posted career-highs in goals (21) and assists (37) in 80 games played. He has played in 58 games this season and has 11 goals and 15 assists.

"I'm definitely excited about coming to Chicago," said Williams. "Any time you can be a part of an original six team it's special. Chicago is making strides in the right direction. I'm looking forward to coming to Chicago and in being a major factor on the team. I'm happy to be going to a team that wants me and I'm looking forward to helping the Blackhawks."

Over six years, all in Detroit, he has 49 goals and 67 assists in 233 games.

"We've been trying to acquire Jason Williams since last summer," said Blackhawks general manager Dale Tallon. "He is a quality individual who can add to our team offensively and can also play the point on the power play. We feel with his speed and skill he is another piece of the puzzle as we continue to move forward in making our team better."

Kukkonen, 25, is appearing in his second season in the NHL and has five goals and 10 assists in 64 games for his career.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
