Hockey Betting Lines

08/17/2007 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Columbus forward Alexander Svitov, who signed a two-year contract with the Blue Jackets on July 2, has also inked a deal with the Russian Super League and intends to play there in 2007-08.

The 24-year-old Svitov registered a career-high seven goals and career-best 11 assists last season in 76 games for the Blue Jackets.

The team learned of the conflicting contracts on Friday and issued a statement to address the situation.

"We were informed by Alexander's agent today that he has signed a contract to play with Avangard Omsk this season," said Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson. "We will explore the situation in greater detail with respect to Alexander's contract status and will make a decision after reviewing our options. While this news comes as a disappointment, it creates an opportunity for other players when we open training camp next month."

Acquired from Tampa Bay in January 2004, Svitov has 13 goals, 24 assists and 223 penalty minutes in 179 career NHL games.
