Rumor: Sharks courting Doan

[juantimer]

I just don't understand how a player of his age and playing style can even ask more than 2 years ... and I understand even less why teams are considering giving it to him.

[wtfisthis]

3 years $4.5m for SHANE DOAN? Who does he think he is? Im so tired of these players dragging everything out and making everybody wait like they're the hottest free agent on planet Earth, especially when the player doesnt even deserve that kind of hype.

[VP and GM]

I hope Doan signs, where ever he's going to sign soon so we can close this discussion down. Hope its out east so the Yotes will miss him :-)

I can't blame a NHL player wanting one last big contract, glad DW is being wise and not going past 3 years.

[sharski]

will LOL if the Coyotes stay in Phoenix, then he bolts for a 5-year, $40 million dollar deal with Buffalo or something

you're right, we should throw in a 7th round draft pick to sweeten the pot

Not quite sure how the Flyers organization values him, but perhaps a trade centering around Murray for Talbot could be worked out. I feel as though he would be a great addition to our 2nd/3rd lines.

I think DW is done making moves.

And I bet he is rationalizing to go with this team because we still haven't seen what they are capable of when all healthy. Havlat, Murray, Handzus, Sheppard. That's probably asking a lot from those players to bounce back in a big way, but seems like thats what we got right now.

Well the entire point of acquiring depth in the first place is to be able to withstand the injuries that will occur. Those guys will get hurt again next season and, if not them, it will be someone else. His options likely dried up is all and I'm sure he didn't have very many to begin with but the team's failures fall at his feet and he hasn't done much to improve the team in terms of personnel. Really banking on that coaching to turn them around.

If that's the case I think we are going to struggle to make the playoffs.

We're a playoff team, but he's lying if he says we're a Cup contender with the team as is. Sign Doan for something reasonable? Then maybe I'll believe him.

Was told by source close to situation that Shane Doan won't sign with VAN and it was between San Jose and Phoenix but we shall see!

[Kitten Mittons]

Well Doan has a deal in place with Phoenix as soon as they fix their bs.


Also, Doan's agent said it's between PHO and VAN.

[Kitten Mittons]

Supposedly he is supposed to sign a contract before 2pm ...

[Kawaii]

Pollak:
The report that Doan has narrowed teams to PHX or SJ? Well, an #sjsharks source brushes it off as, well, lacking credibility.

Believe this. RT @Gambo620 Shane Doan has signed a 4-year $21.2 million contract with $2 million in bonus money to remain with Coyotes.

It's finally over. And was extremely underwhelming.

I really did not think there was much doubt about him staying with the Yotes. I'm also glad this is over.

[SactoShark]

A sign-n-trade would be the most hilarious thing ever.

[SonomaShark]

Yes! Doan to bed, and lock this thread!

[SharksFan1]

All this for nothing...
