After 17 seasons and 1299 (regular season plus playoff) games, Daniel Alfredsson has left the Ottawa Senators, signing as a free agent with the Detroit Red Wings. Devin Smeltzer Twins Jersey . Numbers Game looks at what Alfredsson brings to the Wings and what the Senators will need to replace in their lineup. The Red Wings Get: RW Daniel Alfredsson. Alfredsson, 40, suffered through the worst year of his career in 2010-2011, but has rebounded in the two years since to score 85 points in 122 games. That 0.70 points per game as a 39 and 40-year-old player ranks sixth since 1980 among players aged 39, 40 and 41. Alfredsson also put up better puck possession numbers in the last couple seasons too, an indication that his production rebound wasnt merely by luck. A 13-time 20-goal scorer, Alfredsson has also been logging big minutes for the Senators, playing 19:21 per game last season, second-highest among Ottawa forwards. In Detroit, Alfredsson will likely play a prominent role if not necessarily quite as many minutes, perhaps skating on the wing with fellow Swede Henrik Zetterberg, a position that should afford Alfredsson the opportunity to produce enough to justify his place on the depth chart, since Zetterberg consistently holds an edge in territorial play, regardless of who his linemates have been over the years. At the same time, Alfresson did generate only 2.15 shots per game last season, the second-lowest rate of his career and his shooting percentage (9.9%) was the third-lowest of his career, so there are signs of declining production. Could he still score 50-plus points in a full season? Sure. Ottawa will miss Alfredsson, who also led the team with 10 points in 10 playoff games last season, but the Senators have Jakob Silfverberg heading into his second season and Alfredssons departure will likely make the Senators a more active suitor in free agency, where they could get highly-coveted David Clarkson, but may also want to consider Jarome Iginla, Michael Ryder or Clarke MacArthur to help replace the lost production. Alfredssons deal is reportedly for $3.5-million, with bonuses that could make it worth as much as $5.5-million. Its rare for any player to last his entire career with one franchise, yet it always comes as a shock when one that has remained with a team for so long finally moves on. Alfredsson has given his all to the Senators and has every right to pick and choose where he will spend the last years of his career. That he feels comfortable with Detroit, a team that still has a strong veteran Swedish contingent (including Johan Franzen, Niklas Kronwall, Jonathan Ericsson and Mikael Samuelsson in addition to Zetterberg) is understandable and, as strange as it might look initially, its still easy to see Alfredsson as a solid complementary player for the Red Wings and, on a one-year deal, hes a low-risk investment for a team that expects to contend every year.

Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. Devin Smeltzer Jersey .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park. https://www.cheaptwins.com/622t-miguel-sano-jersey-twins.html . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. OAKLAND,Calif. -- Raul Alcantara tried to be perfect in his major league debut and it didnt go well at all.So his next time the Oakland Athletics 23-year-old rookie just tried to be himself. Though Alcantara wasnt involved in the decision, he pitched much better.Ketel Marte hit a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the As 3-2 Sunday for their fifth straight win.Alcantara allowed two runs, seven hits, one walk and a hit batter in 5 2/3 innings.In his major league debut Wednesday, he became the first As pitcher to hit three batters and issue a balk in one game since Howard Ehmke did it in 1930.He left Sundays game to an ovation from fans and was greeted by fist bumps in the As dugout.I focused on pitching my game and not making the perfect pitch like last time, Alcantara said through a translator.Mike Zunino hit a two-run homer off a slider Alcantara left over the middle of the plate in the top of the second inning.It was just another at-bat where I felt like I got to two strikes pretty quick, but he showed me the slider early and I was able to lay off of it, and he threw another one that was in the zone and up, Zunino said. I was just able to get up in the zone and barrel it.That was the only big mistake the right-hander made on the day, according to As catcher Stephen Vogt.He has an electric fastball, his changeup is a plus pitch and he threw some good breaking balls, too, Vogt said. I think the stuff is really, really good, its definitely an indication of what we thought and what I thought going into this week it would be.Alcantaras outing was especially important from a development standpoint.Its huge, especially coming off a bad start in his debut, to come back and hold a team like that to two runs, Vogt said.The Mariners remained 3 1/2 games behind in the AL wild-card race.Marte had three hits and Zunino also doubled for Seattle.Zunino doubled off Ryan Madson (5-5) to begin the ninth and pinch runner Ben Gameel moved up on a single by Leonys Martin. Jake Cave Jersey. Marte followed with his go-ahead single.Steve Cishek (3-6) pitched a scoreless eighth. Edwin Diaz closed for his 15th save.Mariners starter James Paxton had his first quality start in more than a month, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings.BUTLER RELEASEDOakland released designated hitter Billy Butler. The 30-year-old right-handed hitter was in the second year of a three-year $30 million contract. He was batting .276 with four home runs and 31 RBI in 85 games this year. Butler hopes to catch on with another team sometime before next season. He acknowledged he probably wasnt a good fit for the platoon-oriented As. You dont have the type of at-bats I have in the big leagues with the type of success I have for not being able to hit both sides, Butler said. I feel I can bring that to a team at a championship level and Ive proven that.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: 1B Adam Lind left the in the fifth inning with a finger sprain, manager Scott Servais said. Its not broke, Servais said. He had X-rays. He could be out a couple days and well see where it goes from there.Athletics: RHP Sonny Gray, on the disabled list since Aug. 7 with a right forearm strain, threw about 10-12 pitches off a mound on Sunday, As manager Bob Melvin said. The 2015 All-Star is hoping to be activated before the end of the year, but Melvin said the As will be cautious before making such a move.Itd be nice to get him into a game, but I wouldnt say its the most important thing in the world, Melvin said. His health is the most important thing for us.UP NEXTAthletics: LHP Ross Detwiler will be making his sixth start since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 10 in a series opener in Kansas City. He allowed one run in seven innings of three-hit ball in his last start on Aug. 31. ' ' '
