Doan Has Deal Worked Out With Coyotes

With the news that Greg Jamison has finally arranged financing that would allow him to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes from the National Hockey League for $170 million, you assumed it was nothing more than formality that Shane Doan re-signed with the Yotes.

And now James O'Brien at Pro Hockey Talk confirms those suspicions by reporting that Doan has a deal in place with the Coyotes...

"My goal is to sign here ... we have a deal worked out. [The] focus is still with the Coyotes. It's never, ever changed."

The Vancouver Province reports that the deal is four-years, $21.5 million.

...while I still wouldn't have wanted the Rangers to give him four years, the $5.5 million per is more reasonable than the $7 million per that Doan was rumored to be seeking. Although you have to assume Doan gave Phoenix a hometown discount.

...man, all those Shane Doan posts on the blog for nothing. What a waste. Although, not as big of a waste than if the Rangers would have signed him to a four year deal.
