He started fielding offers on the 10th, and he said he'd decide by the 16th? 6 days to decide your future sounds reasonable to me.

Ya, its just me being ovee anxious....I do hope he chooses us!

With Phoenix looking like its going to keep the Coyotes, how is this not a dead issue now? Doan only wanted to leave if it wasn't possible for the Coyotes to stay in Phoenix. It looks like they are, so I don't see him going anywhere now.

The article I read states Doan will be waiting until the 16th to see if the ownership situation in Phoenix becomes clearer.

The two Glendale men trying to petition against the purchase agreement have until the 16th to collect signatures, that date was originally the 9th but was given an extension because of a paperwork delay - hence the setback in Doan's timeline.

From what I understand, he'll start fielding offers after the 16th.

“There is no relevance to the July 16th date for us,” Doan’s agent, Terry Bross, told USA Today. “That’s off the table.”

I'll be so surprised like when I got my first bike on my 5th birthday if we somehow land Doan. lol

Assuming Shane Doan is the reason for Detroit's inactivity, at what point do you cut your losses and move on? If, for example, they are interested in Semin, when do you begin considering him as your best option? Especially if Doan has no timetable for a decision - do you move forward or risk losing out on other free agent forwards in hopes of getting your man?

[StormJH1]

When it got to be July 9th and the Doan rumors picked up, I was opposed to it, but with so many other options apparently off the table, we might as well. He'll turn 36 when the season starts, but he could bring an edge to this team (kind of like a poor man's version of what Shanny did to the '97 team), and he's still been pretty productive.

If we do that signing, however, I would there there'd HAVE to be some type of trade, even if it's just clearing out some of the lesser forwards for depth defensemen.

Doan should just leave, next year will come around and they will be going through the exact same thing.

What the crap??

An Eastern Conference team has presented Shane Doan with a four-year, $30 million-plus contract offer, John Gambadoro of Sports 620 KTAR Phoenix is reporting by way of an NHL source.

No way he gets $30 million/4 years.

Philly or Toronto?

7.5 Million a year???? Either this is a lie or someone needs to fire they're GM.

[ShanahanMan]

Refuse to believe this.

When I read this, the first person that came to mind was Garth Snow. lol I could totally see him doing something idiotic like this.

[Shaman464]

If someone thinks hes worth 7.5 million for 4 years, I'd love to meet him, because I have a lot of stuff I want to sell them.

[Johnz96]

The coach is lacing em up and playing now?

What the crap??

That's hilarious

[Jedi]

If Shane Doan is worth $7.5m/year, Parise and Suter's agents should be fired, and they should tear up their contracts ASAP.

Florida?

Massive overpayment, but replacing Sammy with Doan is a pretty big upgrade.

Well that's one way to see if he's gonna go for the money or a chance at a cup....yikes! No way a contender is offering that...unless it's Philly, I guess.
