If the Columbus Blue Jackets are intent on signing Marian Gaborik to a contract extension, theyll want to see a bit more from the veteran winger on the ice first. General manager Jarmo Kekalainen told Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch on Friday that he wants to see Gaboriks contributions go beyond the scoresheet before considering a long-term deal for the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. "I think hes done a lot of good things," Kekalainen told The Dispatch. "And I think he could do more. He could be the driving force of the team. Id like to see him taking charge, driving the team with his example - not only with the points but with everything else he does. "Hes at the point in his career where he could take the next step in that area. Hes proven he can score points, score goals. I want to believe that even a 30-year-old or a 35-year-old player can get better, and thats one area that I want to see more from him." The Dispatch adds that there have been no talks about a contract extension between both sides and theres no urgency from either camp to start just yet. "We havent approached his agent (Ron Salcer), he hasnt approached us," Kekalainen told the paper. "Were both kind of in the lets-see-how-this-works-out place. I think its fair. "Im not mad at his agent. Im just hoping hes going to be a great player for us." Gaborik is making $7.5 million this season - the final one of a five-year, $37.5 million deal he signed with the Rangers prior to the 2009-10 campaign. Originally selected third overall by the Minnesota Wild in 2000, Gaborik has scored 341 goals and 343 assists in 779 career games with the Jackets, Rangers and Wild. "I always say to players: leave a legacy behind you as a great teammate, a great leader, a great example," Kekalainen added. "Those are the areas he can do a lot more in, and I think he wants to, too. But if you want to be a leader, you have to do it every day." Stitched Baltimore Ravens Jerseys .

NFL owners unanimously approved the changes in December.We have an agreement with the league and they have an agreement with us, Winston said. Were going to hold them to that agreement. Many aspects of this policy fall outside of the CBA and were going to continue fighting it going forward.The union and the league have been at odds over the personal conduct policy since both groups began navigating the Ray Rice domestic violence case and later Adrian Petersons child abuse case.After dealing with both issues, a more extensive list of prohibited conduct will be included in the policy, as well as specific criteria for paid leave for anyone charged with a violent crime.A suspension of six games without pay for violations involving assault, sexual assault, battery, domestic violence, child abuse and other forms of family violence will be in effect, but with consideration given to mitigating or aggravating circumstances.The leagues revised conduct policy was the product of a tremendoous amount of analysis and work and is based on input from a broad and diverse group of experts within and outside of football, including current players, former players, and the NFL Players Association, the league said in a statement last week.ddddddddddddWe and the public firmly believe that all NFL personnel should be held accountable to a stronger, more effective conduct policy.
