CityinFlames Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Now all we have to do is not fire Gillman before Doan signs with the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksBruins Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ^ The signature thing is bizarre. You would think in most hockey markets, finding signatures to keep the team in the city wouldn't take more than three weeks. If that falls apart, Doan will likely be on the move.

Legend Killer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 As it stands now, we do not have the cap to add a guy like Doan. A trade is most definitely on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFrame14 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Doan Higgins - Matthias - Hansen Great Top 9. Need to do some fixing on our 4th line and add depth on D and we're set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksBruins Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The signatures aren't to save the team... They are to basically kill the team... Put the subsidy / management fee on the november ballot and overrule the city council vote.... Recently there's been a little grass roots effort that's popped that that's called GlendaleFirst. This group is in support of keeping the team and moving forward w/ the subsidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zissou Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 god damn I want to sign Doan. He just makes so much sense for the team right now. Trying hard to keep my expectations in check though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your New Coach Mr. Tippett Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Paraphrased from the Agent's interview on Prime Time sports. 15 or 16 teams have expressed interest No firm money offered. Not starting negotiations until he knows that Glendale is going to make some decisions. Will not wait until late August to sign, he plans to be signed in Phoenix or elsewhere before then. Press conference coming up in Phoenix regarding the vote etc. Doesn't mind if the team moves, he would like to stay with the Coyotes/Franchise regardless of the moves. Just wants to win. Wants to know if there will be new management and are the new owners committed to winning. Not necessary leaving, but keeping options opened. No firm offer on the table from the Coyotes.

afesposit Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 He's Captain Coyote and should never be anything else.. I'm hoping they can keep this team here in the worst way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksfor2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I see that a lot of people are making comparisons to the Schultz situation. While they are similar, the difference lies in their ages. With Schultz, he wanted guaranteed Top 4 time + a team that would remain competitive once he reached his prime. For this, the Oilers were obviously a better fit. He had a chance there to be a key contributor to the team for a long time, and the chance to enjoy success there down the road. Vancouver will remain competitive for a few more years, but it's obvious once the Sedins and Kesler retire there isn't much in the way of 'stars'. For Doan, he's looking for a place to possibly close out his career, with a legitimate shot to win the Cup. He knows his role on that team isn't going to be to lead that team in scoring, but to make a contribution that'll help down the line. For this, Vancouver is a good fit for Doan. So I'd say that while the two situations are similar, there are differences. If Doan actually does want to sign here, then there's a much better chance that he does.
