I don't think Doan is someone worth waiting weeks and weeks for, just my opinion.

Truer words. Especially now that there's almost no way he's signing ANYwhere but PHX. People just keep wishing despite the odds.
I wouldn't complain if he was on a reasonable deal but he is definitely not a game-changing type player. Complimentary all the way. Much as I hate to admit it, Semyonka has the potential to be a much bigger impact. I don't happen to think he would make good on it but at this point I want Shero to either sign him or say "we're done for the summer". Three weeks of this **** is enough.
And whoever was saying it: Pronger + 4 late 1sts < Weber. Maybe not 5 years ago but definitely it's true today, even if there was no concussion issue. Pronger has been slowing down and those picks are not enough to make it worth more than the best D in the NHL, in the prime of his career.
