Everybody Hates Raymond Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 explain? Edit: I dont really care what is speculated by these third party sources, we heard it straight from the group that makes all the decisions. 30 million too much; until something else gets announced or speculated from someone of equal or greater credibility, I'm not going to feed this media fire of speculation.

Ossi Vaananen Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This is like Sundin but with a lower ceiling and longer contract... I hope the rumours for 4 at 30 aren't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbes!!! Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Absolutely 100% do NOT want at 7.5M per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 For example (but not specifically), say the Canucks admit they would give Doan 30 million over 4. Not only does that make Doan's agent want to hassle a bit more cash up, but it can lower the value of Luongo. If they admit that, the Canucks are basically admitting that Luongo was on his way out no matter what (which he likely is, but it's not exactly concrete... yet), which would kill that trade's value, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsandwiches Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If Doan wanted to "really win a cup badly" he'd be signing up with the Nucks, Pens, or Rangers by now. This is probably an agent's tactic (touring teams/cities) to get his client the best possible deal out of the new Phoenix ownership (given that the sale will go through). If Doan truly wanted to sign with the Nucks, the family would be moving and kids would be enrolled in new schools. We are wasting our time here with Doan and holding our breaths waiting for some credible news. Let's shoot for the bigger fish (Ryan or E.Kane) and concentrate on getting a decent return on Lu. This thread will result in a huge disappointment, not to mention wasted bandwith and sensless typing of fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get real canuck fans Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Why do you care if you aren't paying him. If Gillis feels this is whats best for the team in the short, and long term than let it be. He would be a huge asset for this team. Also the contract might be structured in a way where its front loaded some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Actually the fans are the ones paying him. Through ticket prices, jerseys, t-shirts, TV revenues. If the NHL really managed itself better we could have more affordable ticket prices. I honestly don't know how the NHL in smaller markets are going to survive with a $70 million cap. The Fans in Canada provide the majority of the revenue in the NHL. 20 of the 30 teams are bleeding money. Why? Because Bettman won't put his foot down on front loaded contracts that GM's try to exploit. Basically owners are cutting their own throats with nutty contracts. The owners may sign the paychecks, but we the customers are the source of income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperReverb2 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Don't think Doan is signing anywhere but Phoenix. Always been is his first choice, always will be. LOVE to have him here, (who wouldn't?) but the dynamics of the situation just don't seem to be pointing in that direction. Moving, (relocating) kids in new school, etc., etc., etc. should have already begun, and unless we've all missed something, that isn't happening. Waiting to see if there's a lockout? Maybe, but we are most likely dealing with a fiercy loyal Phoenix Coyotes player (rightfully so, and has been posted many times) that wants to stay in Phoenix and is giving the new ownership group every opportunity to make that happen. Hey! I could be surprised and VERY happy over the next month or so if he does actually end up here, but for right now, things aren't looking like that will happen.

grandmaster Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 For the same reason some of us were not happy when Luongo signed his deal because it will make an asset basically worthless, and front loading does not change the cap hit. Luongo's contract was 10 mill in year one and now at about 7 mill but is the average of the contract that is the cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 As per Lee Hamilton of XX1090 Sports Radio in San Diego, it is believed that the Canucks have offered Doan $30,000,000 over 4 years. https://twitter.com/...146394250813440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
