Other: Shane Doan continued... $7.5m per year offer?

[Telos]

John Gambadoro @Gambo620

NHL source just confirmed to me that an Eastern Conference team has offered Coyotes Captain Shane Doan a 4-year deal worth more than 30 mill

Scheme on...

[Dylonus]

Wtf?

How can someone offer him 7.5 but not offer slightly more for Parise

[nix at home]

As a Sharks fan hoping to land Doan... Pass...

Maybe they did offer more to Parise, but Parise rejected them to play with Minnesota?

[Eb]

How can Doan be the Coyotes captain when he isn't currently under a contract?

As for the money, that is crazy.

[ron delle]

That's insane. He's over 35 and not nearly worth $7.5.

I would love him on my team, but that's crazy

[Niko]

I can maybe understand the $7.5 cap hit if it was a cheap team trying to hit the cap floor.

But why in the world is it over four years? Can anybody answer that??

I think everyone says pass over $6 mil... at least I hope so...

Just so everyone knows Gambo is a moron who has no idea what he's talking about.

[WJG]

Like I said in the previous thread, I wouldn't be totally shocked if it was the Jets. What other team in the East would want Doan that badly?

We're still under the cap floor (although we'll be over once Kane re-signs), but Mark Chipman was a diehard Jets 1.0 fan and he and Assistant GM Craig Heisinger knew a lot of the former players personally. We're talking about a management team that offered Selanne a contract last summer, even though he had made it clear he wasn't going to leave Anaheim. I could see them making an offer to Doan, but whether it was for 7.5 million per remains to be seen.

[SoupNazi]

That's crazy.

I'm going to take your word on this. The amount and term are nuts, and it makes a little more sense if this guy has no idea what he is talking about. I'm going to make that assumption.

IMPOSSIBLE

[TheCerebral1]

All I can say is I spit food out. Wow, that's how desparate a team has gotten to acquire a top 6 forward. Personally I would think that team has to have contacted Semin as well. Winnipeg would be an interesting team to say the least.

[Rivet52]

Wow. That's crazy. I really hope it's not from Buffalo.

Sather's due, isn't he?

[beowulf]

God if this is true I hope it is not the Habs.

[KingCanadain1976]

only team i can see doing that is the islanders. but anything over 5.5 is crazy

[Dado]

Honestly, I'm surprised some cap floor team somewhere hasn't offered him 10 years @ $8M per.

EDIT: Fixed an oops-typo.

[TSA0402]

I cant believe this is a real offer. Too much, in every way.

Those are two dollar amounts there Dado, that's not how it works

[Blueline Bomber]

I still wouldn't be surprised if it was Carolina. They apparently threw a lot of money at Parise, they were willing to take on Nash's contract. This wouldn't be too far off.

They're desperate for a Top-6 winger, and Staal-Staal-Doan would be a much better line than anything they've put together in recent history.

LOL. Fixed in edit.

Thanks for the catch, temporary disconnect between brain and fingers.

[Hitmen Heart]

This **** cray.

$10M in bonuses plus $8M per into infinity
