Howson doesn't need help looking bad.

Beat me to it.

Ive been saying this since I heard it.

This has Sather and NYR written all over it. Sather has a history of giving out bigger overpaid contracts and they have been looking to add scoring. Doan fits their style of play and they have been looking into him. Gaborik is out until around December and will need immediate scoring help.

They are probably fed up with the asking price for Nash and Ryan

HB users editing Doan's wiki leads to EK rumors..

Ekcreditable...

Doan is worth 4-4.5 million per year. Any team that offers more is desperate.

haha always come back to the flyers... just had to didnt you ek

he would be considered "young" on the Devils........fit right in we the Geezers, Marty, Hedberg, Elias, Sykora, Zidlicky, Slavador, Zubrus.....this is making me very

Don't count out the stars either...they're up there

Im sorry but I have no sympathy for the devils, despite what the rolling stones have told me...

Yeah, no.

Sather hasn't really overpaid in a while. It's likely that Torts has him in a torture chamber and controls the organization at this point.

The Rangers should get Doan, but they don't have money like that, especially with McDonagh/Kreider/Stepan/Anisimov/Hagelin/DZ needing raises.

1st
Wow I still can't believe that I got first! Well I guess I should thank everyone who made this possible. . . .thankyou me for checking this damn site every minute on the minute. I'd also like to thank Ek but buddy do me a favour and make your app better. Why does it have to switch over to twitter whenever I want to read a blog not written by you? Why can't I view the Rumor Chart? Why can't I reply to blogs? You need to get on this! And last but not least I would like to thank all the other guys and gals on here that let me be 1st! Go Leafs Go!

...almost forgot about the rumor. . . .if this is true. . . .ridiculous!!!
- n8butts

since when something that is reported here is true? Thanks god, nobody offered that kind of contract!

Thanks deanofnucks, anyone legit confirm the signing yet?
- Prolific_Scorer

well a$$hat ...you can bet Shane Doan ain't signing onto your sinking hopes of playoffs

Don't think it is MTL either. Word is habs have offered 4 years and $20 million.

No no no, they'd only do that for a 3rd/4th liner......

More like Islanders written all over it. Nobody wants to sign here and the only way we're going to get anyone of value is to throw out a ridiculous offer like that. Sad but true.

- Scooby_Doo

Even 2 years, 11 million is desperate. four years, 30 million is just insane.

Yeah, no.

I would say sathers fresh 1 year old contract to dubinsky is an overpayment

The Islanders dont need guys to play on the wing, they need a second centerman.

Gaborik 105 goals in 220 games for the Rangers. Over the last 3 years he's been one of the top goal scorers in the league.

It's pretty silly to put him with the other guys.
- Moshe52792

when he was signed, he was arguably the most injury prone player in the entire league, and sather still gave him 7.5 mil on a long term deal. my point was that sather throws around big money contracts, often to "questionable" players, all the time. gaborik has been productive, but i think that he's still overpaid, and at the time, the contract looked INSANE

They absolutely need a guy to play on Tavares right side now that PA is gone. We need a second line center also, but a top line RW is a big need.

Please let it be Burke that offered that....

gomez for horcoff
- Oilfan19

$2 million extra but 1 less year......think i'll stick with Gomez.....i feel dirty even saying that

There's a difference between throwing $7.5 million at a top goal scorer in his prime, even with an injury history and giving $7.5 million to a 35 year old who will most likely top out at 45 points.

Considering what the Rangers have done over the last 3 years (smart signings and trades, relying on kids) I highly highly doubt Sather would make any move like this.
