He might steal the headlines yes but if there is this lockout which is more likely to happen day by day. I don't see this helping Doan's cause at all given his age.

Doan is washed up. Get her done Kenny!

[JasonNewEra]

Doan is re-signing with Phoenix according to 97.1 The Ticket. Lets ignore this guy now please.

[Din758]

Ya just heard the same, strange though because twitter should be full of all this by now.

Doan know much about history... Doan know much biology...

According to John Gambadoro, a sports host on Sports 620 KTAR Phoenix:

It is down two - Phoenix and Vancouver. Coyotes Captain Shane Doan will sign a contract deciding where he will play by 5 pm NY time Friday.
The hangup with Doan signing with Phoenix is that the City of Glendale has reneged on its original lease agreement deal with Greg Jamison. Glendale is looking to rework the lease agreement deal that was agreed to and that hangup is causing a delay in the purchase.

It's funny that the owners voted to lock the players out for "cost certainty" while at the very same time you know a handful of them were throwing piles of money at him in the Doan sweepstakes.

If he signs with the Flyers, holy mother are they stacked up front.

[haroldsnepsts]

Dreger is guessing his contract will include a signing bonus due to the impending lockout. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up and for how much.

[evilzyme]

1 more hour until his 3rd deadline! let's all hold our breath!

Helene St. James ‏@HeleneStJames #RedWings had offered UFA F Shane Doan 4 year contract (nowhere near $28 mill) but were rebuffed. Wanted to stay in PHX/West coast.

He must be kidding, but really glad he didn't sign that contract.

It's down to Phoenix or Vancouver, so that's not going to happen.

Dear Shane:
Just sign a freakin' contract already. No need to take a page out of Phoenix's book and drag it out interminably. Frankly my dear, we just don't give a damn.
Sincerely,
Almost every single NHL fan

[haroldsnepsts]

Staying in phoenix per Dreger:

4 yrs,$21.2 for Doan to stay in Phx.$2 mil in bonus will be deferred until after contract expires.$1 mil in 2016-2017 and $1 mil year after.

Finally the drama saga is over with. Good for the Yotes!!

[Shaman464]

Too many years and too much money for an old man on the downside of his career. Glad he said no to the Wings.

[McAwesome]

So looks like Doan wants to be the first player to play for 3 different cities without changing teams.

[cusimano_brothers]

Some players don't think being on Stanley Cup inner is such a big deal.

[Salviaman]

I told you weeks ago Doan would stay with the coyotes. Good luck playing there.

[joshy207]

If Doan retires during the term of the contract, his cap hit still counts against the Coyotes. Good way to help keep them above the floor.

Here's the best part of this: The Coyotes are owned and operated by the NHL. They haven't been sold yet. So, the league, which is about to lock out the players, just overpaid a guy with a contract that *could* be used to help circumvent the salary floor AND they gave him a $2M signing bonus, which is guaranteed money, lockout or not.

This league is effed. It needs to go away. I'm sick of Bettman and the two-faced owners and GMs. Time for someone to start up a rival league, do it right with reasonable contracts, reasonable ticket prices, teams in solid hockey markets only, fewer teams (20 sounds good), a shorter season...
