Shane Doan to test free agency

Some free agency news this evening, presented without comment:

He’s been associated with the Phoenix Coyotes (ne Winnipeg Jets) franchise for so long that no one could see this coming. But general manager Don Mahoney confirmed on NHL Radio on Tuesday that team captain Shane Doan will test the free agent market starting on Sunday.

Doan, 35, has spent every one of his 17 seasons with Winnipeg/Phoenix and is the only remaining Coyote to have been a Jet. He is coming off a five-year, $22.75 million contract, and his 50 points (22 goals) was his lowest output in 10 seasons.

Doan is considered one of hockey’s best leaders (he is a two-time captain of Team Canada at the world championships), and another franchise might be willing to overlook his sliding production to add the intangibles he brings to its locker room. He has 318 goals and 788 points in 1198 games.

From Darren Dreger:

Shane Doan wants to stay in Arizona, but ownership instability may force him to test free agency. The list of interested teams will be long.

    I hate that guy. The complete opposite of what we’re supposedly trying build here.

    Kids going home to play for his fav team… If you had the chance at that age to control your destiny and grew up out there would you wanna play for Burkie in the big smoke because Gardiner is there?! People need to drop the BFF bullcrap and realize that like most of us normal people…. That just because I played college with joe shithead its not going to greatly influence choice in the NHL

    We don’t “need” to do anything to get rid of Komi’s contract. We can buy him out when the new CBA comes in.

    Agreed who’s the number 1 prospect for next years lottery? I need to start brainstorming clever twitter hashtags for our inevitable nosedive to get that pick if this trade goes through.

    Exactly. Dogs do it in a hurry to get it done. Cats take their time. And people always say cats are so much smarter than dogs?

    Not to mention he’s a shadow of his former self after he was broken in half by McQuaid. I can just see him on a line with Lombardi-another wreck of his former self. Flying down the ice and putting up shots that a pee wee girls team goalie would laugh at. While also never hitting anyone and turning the puck over as soon as any physical contact is made.

    “…a GM makes to save his job…”???? SAVE his job???? I think you mean LOSE his job. Fucking Sutter wouldn’t make that trade.
