Gady Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Shane Doan does not guarantee a Cup. I can guarantee however, that we'll miss that 5 million dollars in four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 many players play into thier 40's now and Doan can and will.I do not get how people saying over 35 is bad to pay a guy what he is worth!I am 39 and that is me in my picture so age doesnt matter till you hit about 40.If we can pay him till then I would sure do it in a heart beat and all you nah sayers that say hes to old after we win a cup with him and Luo gone I will laugh so hard and loud.The olympic games dont have 30 plus players unless its like hockey and basketball as most sports in the games are only for the olympics otherwise you'd have way more!

RUPERTKBD Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 don't be so sure ... In 4 years we might be struggling to rich the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Why does anyone worry about being on the hook for a contract??Doan will only sign where he feels like he will retire and doing so he wont hurt a team as it will be his last.He doesnt want to leave but I see him leaving the Coyoties as who knows where they will be.Signing with a new team he will get the years he wants and then retire not before!!Doan is not like that!!

Where's Wellwood Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Think about it ... You're essentially saying that the best player on a team - West conference finalist is not a $7.5M guy in CURRENT market. Hello! Look around ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is 6 million worth it or better to pay someone 4 million via a upgrade trade and have to give up some of your players to do it? I like 6 million lose no current players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hicks Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Did anyone else hear anything about Doan giving the Coyotes owner a deadline today to finish purchasing the team or he walks? I just heard Karen Thompson on 1040 mention this about 15 minutes ago and I can't find anything else on it. It was either a 24 or 48 hr deadline. I'm not talking about the friday deadline, but a new deadline established this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 We've never even been close to doing that. I do know however, that a new CBA is being negotiated and it's highly unlikely that these Cap circumventing deals will remain viable. I remain "sure" that we don't want to be on the hook for 5 million dollars of Cap for a player that doesn't even play for us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If we were willing to shell out for a player with a multi-year, 7 mil cap hit, I would rather have traded Lu for Vincent Lecavalier. 32 year-old Lecavalier > 36 year-old Doan ...and I imagine it will be even more pronounced when Doan is 37, 38, and 39 (while Vinny 33, 34, and 35). Right after that is when Vinny's contract starts declining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 7.5 mill per season for 4 years is too much for Doan. That's ridiculous. I wanted Doan as much as the next guy, probably even more so, but not at that price. That would be a bad deal if Gillis went through with it. I agree with D-Money, 32 Lecavalier > 36 Doan.

RunningWild Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 There were these exact same $$ rumors surrounding Garrison before he signed with Van. There are only a few forwards in the league worth more than the Sedins, and Doan ain't one of em. There is too much uncertainty with the new CBA and cap, it's to risky to give him term and $$. I just hope the rumors aren't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 David Shoalts @dshoalts No word yet from Greg Jamison, which is not good for Phoenix Coyotes fans. Shane Doan's agent says they never demanded 4yrs, $30-million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
