TheFastOne21 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes please! I think Doan would give us the never quit mentality we need to win it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Q: he is 35. Would we want to give him a 3 year deal? If he retires he is still on the books. Q2: would he take a 1 year deal? Q3: is he worth the risk of a long term (3 year) deal anyways? From me: Yes, No, Yes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefCon1 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Same here. But I'm just going to go ahead and throw caution to the wind and believe that he wants to be here. The thing I don't get is why people keep putting Doan on the 2nd line, when he clearly belongs with the twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well, since we're jumping to conclusions based on relationships, Doan and Price are 2nd cousins, so he's obviously signing in Montreal lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 3 year deal = No NTC 2 year deal = NTC I'd be happy with either. We'd get, if he stayed healthy, a good 2 years out of him, possibly even 3....or we could always trade him back to PHX or WPG if he chose to go back 'home' to retire. I believe I read somewhere that he's not looking for a 1 year deal at all. This minimum would be 2. 3 year deal is worth the risk, imo. In fact he'd be a great mentor for Jensen, Kassian, Gaunce, etc in his 3rd year. He may be old in age, but he's still been very effective on the scoresheet, and in the locker-room. While the stats may come down over the next 3 years, the locker-room presence probably won't...in fact, it may even grow as a player for the Canucks. I would be very happy to see him choose VAN as a destination to win a Cup. I hope Gillis and Gillman pull out all the stops to bring him here.

UFCanuck Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Don't waste your remaining years in Phoenix. But I'm not getting my hopes up about this because I still feel like he's staying in Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Great news. I think it all depends on how much he is willing to sign for. Does he expect the same 4.5m he has been making even though the last couple of years has seen a 20 point reduction in performance? If so, perhaps a shorter contract is in order. I am not sure if the reduction is due to his age, his linemates, or both. If he's willing to make less, then I think a 3 year contract is fine. We'll may get the best value in the first one or two years, but even after that point I think he will still be a decent presence on the ice and his cap hit (3.5-4?) wouldn't really be all that bad when then cap ceiling is some 10-15m higher.

The Kassassin Train Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 You're allowed to go over the cap in the off season for a certain length of time. And when the Lu trade goes down that will free up some cap. So we're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 According to his agent, (quoted on Sportsnet) Doan could start looking at deals tomorrow (Tuesday). He is still waiting to htear if the citizens group collecting signatures has been successful and if the sale of the Yotes could be in jeopardy. Looks like he is still keen to re-sign with the Yotes but isn't willing to wait out a 2 month court battle with the added uncertainty. My guess is that even if he decided to move on from Phoenix, it will take at least a couple weeks for him to digest the offers and meet with the teams' management. This will become J Schultz version II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler's Mind Tricks Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 That would be awesome! Sedin Sedin Doan Raymond Kelser Booth Burrows ??? Higgins Kassian Lapierrre Hansen That is a stacked forward lineup. The fourth line is good enough to be most teams third lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd84 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Maybe trade May Ray for Yannik Weber? He could become a good top 4 some day and he is young and RD Sedin-Sedin-Doan Booth-Kesler-Burrows Higgins-Lapierre-Hansen Volpatti-Malhotra-Weise Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Ballard-Weber Schneider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
