Vancouver911 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Shane Doan is exploring his free agency -- in Philadelphia. Doan's agent, Terry Bross, confirmed to CSNPhilly's Lisa Hillary that Doan visited Philadelphia Saturday morning. John Gambadoro of sports radio 620 KTAR in Phoenix tweeted overnight that the Coyote captain and unrestricted free agent visited New York Friday and was preparing for his next meeting with the Flyers. The Flyers originally targeted Ryan Suter and Zack Parise in free agency, but have since moved onto Shea Weber, signing him a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet. The 35-year-old Doan has spent his entire career with the Coyotes franchise, and has attempted to peg his future to that of the team's in Phoenix. Of course, as the franchise still hasn't sold, and as he remains on the market, he has begun surveying other options. Still, as ProHockeyTalk points out, in the event the Predators do not match the Flyers offer, and Weber indeed becomes a Flyer, it is highly unlikely the front office will have the money leftover to ink Doan. 0 http://www.csnphilly.com/hockey-philadelphia-flyers/flyers-talk/Free-agent-Doan-visits-with-Flyers?blockID=743965&feedID=704&awid=7421997045610942430-689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 When will he be in Vancouver??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If he wants to win a cup, Philly is one of the best places for him to go and do it. He would certainly have to take a big paycut if he wanted to play there, and Philly gets Weber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He's meeting with a number of teams and this is his East Coast swing after the CBA meetings I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If they get Weber, I think Doan may sign there, if Nashville Matches, I like our chances. Poile better match this, hopefully he has learned his lesson from the Stevens ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWestCoastConnection Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Philly is a great city, i hope he doesn't fall in love with it while he is there, but then again Vancouver has a lot to offer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
