-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If I were to sign Shane Doan for $7.5M, I would only sign him for 1 year. But no way is he worth $7.5M. Maybe around $5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line Juggler Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 TSN REPORT: DOAN SEEKS FOUR YEARS, $30M IF HE LEAVES COYOTES If an NHL team wants a shot at landing Shane Doan, it's going to be quite costly. A source told Globe and Mail hockey columnist David Shoalts on Friday that the unrestricted free agent forward is looking for a four-year, $30 million contract if he leave the Phoenix Coyotes - the only franchise he's ever played for. Doan is coming off a five-year, $22.75 million contract with an average annual value of $4.55 million. Doan, who hit the market on July 1, already visited with the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers last week while taking part in collective bargaining talks with the NHL and NHL Players' Association. The 35-year-old forward has maintained that his first priority is to stay with the Coyotes and is keeping a close eye on whether prospective buyer Greg Jamison will be able to close his deal to keep the team in Arizona. According to reports, Doan and Jamison met Friday to discuss the possibility of progress being made towards a sale. In 1,119 career NHL games - all with Winnipeg/Phoenix, Doan has scored 296 goals and 738 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chayne Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Tempting but how can you justify Doan being the highest paid player on the Canucks... Nevermind. I will take it.... No I won't. Yea... Sophie's Choice was easier than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'd do it only if the cap hit goes down every year for example: Year 1: $7.5 million Year 2: $6.5 million Year 3: $5.5 million Year 4: $4.5 million Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thats a long commitment for a lot of scratch. I think Doan is a great player and I would love to have him on the Canucks but I wouldn't want to destroy the Canucks future by signing him. 5.5 AAV for 4 I would do for sure but 7.5 is just too much IMO.

Line Juggler Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe not this off season, but there must be better ways to spend $30 million over 4 years. Burrows and Edler will need a raise. Not sure if there is anyone left in the free agent market? Year 1: $7.5 million Year 2: $6.5 million Year 3: $5.5 million Year 4: $4.5 million Cap hit can't go down for every year. He would be a $7.5mil cap hit for the duration of the contract. Not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Fruit Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Tough choice, I would rather sign him for a 1 or 2 year contract featuring 6.5M a year. 4 years seems like a long commitment, plus he will be 39 by the end of his contract, so if he declines, it won't be worth it.

Hugemanskost Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 In no way is Shane Doan, at 35 years of age, worth $7.5M / a if I am the GM of a team challenging for the Cup. He is not a big name. He is, at this stage of his career, a solid second line player on the decline. Would I like to see him in a Canuck's uniform? Ab-so-freakin'-lutely. Do I guarantee him $30 over 4 a? Sorry. That is insanity. Sad thing is, if that's what the market says he is worth, then that's what he's worth. I hope we sign him, but not at this price point.

Gurn Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 No more than $4 mill per year and a max of 2 years.With the scarcity of good players available Doan is being overated by many. "It is easy to look like a ten when surrounded by threes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kessywessy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wouldn't do it. The term and money are to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gumballthechewy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I wouldn't sign a player who has never scored more than 80 points (78 career high for Doan) to a 7.5mil a year contract. That kind of money, in my opinion, is reserved for consistent point per game players who have won something in their carrer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Let the Eastern team have him, we'd like to re-sign Burrows, Edler, Higgins, and Lapierre next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab316 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Shane Doan is not a 7.5mil player; the max he should be making is 6mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
