Jester13 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The nhl.com comments from him were they not during an autograph signing in pheonix? Even if he was planning on leaving he was going to tell people at an autograph signing hes still looking to say. I do agree his original plan is to stay with pheonix, but hes also considering his options more then those comments let on. You dont visit other teams until your serious about moving.

Jester13 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I know I know, HockeyyInsiderr isn't credible, but it's worth hearing at least something right? NYC and Vancouver are the two teams apparently in the running. Meez thinks we will land Doan!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hopefully we land Doan before training camp, not mid-season like Sundin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz Liszt Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'll apologize before hand, I'm posting a HockeyyInsiderr tweet JUST FOR DISCUSSION SAKE. Read from bottom to top. Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr Despite of what he is saying publically, Doan`s priority is NOT to re-sign with #Coyotes. Most likely destinations are NYC or Vancouver! Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr The list of 4 teams remaining in the hunt for Doan is: #NYRANGERS /#CANUCKS / #PENS / #SJSHARKS. #CONFIRMED by source within Doan`s family. Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr #FLYERS #SABRES #HABS #REDWINGS are all OFF the list. Also#COYOTES have almost ZERO chances of keeping Doan now. Here comes the 4 team list Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr Shane Doan has removed some teams from his possible destination list as of last night. #CONFIRMED 4 teams remain in the running.

arsenalian Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Meh so nothing new. Hopefully he signs somewhere (and by somewhere I mean Vancouver ) Tuesday or Weds. Is Tomorrow a US civic holiday as well? Anyone know? Edit: Yup civic holiday in US so wouldn't expect any news till Tuesday at the earliest.

Biasbieksa Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 ^So hockeyinsider is saying Doan is lying about wanting to resign in Phoenix? Yea.. I dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz Liszt Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 One more tweet from him; this is something I didn't want to hear... Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr What I'm hearing is Doan would LOVE 2 join #NYRangers. He feels as if that is the #1 place where he can go to WIN+ he enjoyed his visit 2NYC Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr Also Doan would love to join the #Canucks as they are a solid team and his family has many BC ties+ he was told he'd play with Sedins. Hockeyy Insiderr @HockeyyInsiderr While he hasn't 100% eliminated #Coyotes as an option he is FAR from having them as his #1 priority.This is from source WITHIN Doan's family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If Doan did sign with us and played with the Sedins, as per HInsiderr, would his presence on that line finally bring the much deserved respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Exactly, however, the bigger question I would think is on Doan's mind is where's best for his family to live? BC/Vancouver wins out on that I would assume. Edit: beat me to it Chopin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If we get him then we get him, and that is great, but if we don't which is more likely, just remember everyone he is 36 and he scored 78 points in 07-08...now at 50 points in 11-12 and looking most likely to dwindle more the coming year. 45 maybe? The year after 40 and so on and so on. Just sayin: Doan is not the single most important answer to our teams question of trying to solve the cup. If we get him, good, if we don't then that is okay too, he is in his retirement slump off in points, as the facts bear out, and he is 36....I wouldn't like to give a roster spot to anyone over the age of 33 who isn't already a canuck player, but that is just me. The league is going younger, so lets not hinge our hopes on gramps over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson`s Flo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I'm losing my Doaner. I feel like this isn't just about the Yotes situation but it's something more he's waiting on. Perhaps he's just not getting the contracts he's looking for from the teams he'd like to play for and so he's holding out. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just looking for a nice payday before new CBA and would rather sign a big deal now rather 2-3 short contracts.

TheGhostOfRazor Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If Shane Doan wanted to play with the Canucks SO BAD he'd be signed already. If his priority is to win now, he'll choose the Rangers because they have a better chance of winning in the next 4 years than the Canucks do. Don't hold your breath folks. We have a shot, but it would take Doan choosing BC over chance to win IMO. Canucks are a great team, but the Rangers I think are better positioned over the next 4 years.
