GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Phoenix Coyotes locked up one of their top young scorers just before the start of training camp, signing left wing Mikkel Boedker to a two-year contract that averages $2.55 million per season. A front-line forward who can play either wing, Boedker did not file for arbitration as a restricted free agent this summer, believing a deal with the Coyotes would get done before the start of training camp next Wednesday. "I thought it was a fair deal," Coyotes general manager Don Maloney said on Saturday. "He still has something to prove, show that hes producing for us. He does that, hell get paid a lot more money. I thought it was a good deal for a good young player for us." The eighth overall pick in the 2008 draft, Boedker had a superb first season with the Coyotes after four seasons playing in Europe, scoring 11 goals with 17 assists in 2008-09. He bounced between the Coyotes and the AHL the next two seasons, but had 11 goals and 13 assists while playing all 82 games in 2011-12, helping Phoenix win an NHL division title and reach the Western Conference finals for the first time. The 23-year-old from Denmark had seven goals and 19 assists during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and is projected to play on Phoenixs first line with newly acquired centre Mike Ribeiro, who had 49 points in 48 games with Washington last season. "Hes a key part for us right now," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "Hes a player whos continued to get better the past couple of years and we look at him as a very valuable player for us this season." Boedker has 34 goals and 61 assists in parts of five seasons with the Coyotes. Cheap Jaguars Jerseys .

Jaguars Jerseys China .J. -- Fabian Johnson scored his first international goal and Clint Dempsey doubled the lead after a defensive lapse as the United States beat Turkey 2-1 Sunday in the second of three World Cup warm-up matches for the Americans before they head to Brazil.Scotland captain Scott Brown believes the two victories over Czech Republic and Denmark in the past week has provided a confidence boost. Gordon Strachan is trying to build some momentum for the World Cup qualifying campaign which starts in Malta on September 4.Strachan conceded Scotland were not at their best in either match, but recording two 1-0 victories in five days with completely different starting line-ups has been good for confidence. Brown became just the ninth Celtic player to win 50 caps for Scotland in the match with Denmark, and he reckons work ethic had much to do with the double success.And that was exemplified by the goal at Hampden when Matt Ritchie chased what appeared to be a lost cause and took advantage of a defensive mix up to score.I think we needed it, said Brown.

Its great to see people come through from your club.Brown felt he formed a solid partnership with McGinn as well after his surprise call up following an impressive campaign in which Hibs have beaten several top-flight clubs in both domestic
