Thread: Doan Seeks 4 years, $30M if he leaves Coyotes

I think he's actually seeking 20 million, the other 10 million is for the pacifiers and pampers they'll need to buy when his team gets eliminated next postseason.

Five possible landing spots if Doan leaves Phoenix - NHL Free Agency 2012

KINGS

Why Doan should sign: The defending Stanley Cup champions are only at the beginning of what could be a long run of success.

Why it would work: The Kings are in an enviable position here because they don't exactly need a player like Doan -- certainly not after rolling through the playoffs on the way to the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship. However, the last thing the Kings want to do is rely on using the same 12 forwards and four lines that were in sync and clicking throughout most of the playoffs.

It worked in the postseason, but this is the same team that finished eighth in the Western Conference and barely made the postseason.

Doan would give the Kings a jolt while adding veteran leadership and unique knowledge of the Pacific Division. Plus, his presence would put pressure on Justin Williams and Dustin Penner to have great training camps in order to keep their spots as top-six forwards.

This speaks to a greater problem about the owners wanting it both ways. They're willing to throw tons of cash at a guy then complain that they're losing money. Well, WTF?

Doan ain't worth 7.5 million, Sabres are morons for offering that kind of contract to him.
