03/03/2010 - Newark, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defenseman Martin Skoula is on the move again, this time from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the New Jersey Devils.
The Maple Leafs acquired Skoula, along with forward prospect Luca Caputi, from the Penguins late Tuesday night for forward Alexei Ponikarovsky. Less than 24 hours later, Toronto sent the 30-year-old to the Devils for a fifth-round selection in the 2010 draft.
Skoula, scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, had three goals and five assists in 33 games with the Penguins. Selected 17th overall in the 1998 draft by Colorado, the defenseman has 44 goals, 149 assists and 193 points in 757 career games with the Pens, Wild, Stars, Ducks and Avalanche.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound defender won a Stanley Cup with Colorado in 2001, beating New Jersey in the finals, and spent three-plus seasons in Minnesota under current Devils head coach Jacques Lemaire.

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.
