Move this team... it's a disgrace at this point... Quebec City would be the best option and would make all the teams int he league more financially viable since they would sell out every night like Winnipeg and generate pretty good revenu.

Hard to disagree with Doan or the NHL here. Why sell the team to a guy who "promises" he can afford to keep the franchise stable? I think it is time for Shane to move on and play for a team that gives him a chance to win.

The NHL should just contract this team, no other city is currently ready for an NHL franchise...maybe Kansas City? But that's not an option I don't believe at this point.

If you were going to contract cities that were not ready for NHL teams wouldn' t you need to get rid of the Leafs then?

Hey Ek, any idea if Doan made his way to Ottawa after his trip to Montreal? With Alfredsson announcing his return I'm inclined to think GM Murray inticed him with news of a key UFA or trade coming (wishful thinking).

If they can't come up with 20 million to buy the team how are they going to come up with another 5-7 million to pay Doan this year alone?

If he doesn't choose Phoenix, I can't see any way he doesn't come to Van. He can have a nice horse ranch in Langley right near the Abbotsford airport which is a small 45 minute flight to Kamloops which he's part owner of the WHL's Blazers. His wifes from B.C and he is. The only way he doesn't is if it's about money.

Toronto is perfectly ready for an NHL team. They just need to move one there.

We don't actually pay the players, we just watch the games.

I'd still put the Rangers as the front-runners to land Doan if he decides that his only viable option is to re-locate from Phoenix. Nevertheless, don't count out Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Montreal, San Jose, Philadelphia, Detroit or Buffalo. They are ALL involved to varying degrees, and will go full speed ahead if and when the Doan camp gives them the signal.

dont count out all the other teams too
