If the Phoenix Coyotes weren't worried about losing their captain before, they should be now.

After spending two weeks gauging interest and fielding offers, Shane Doan is making his first official visit of free agency Friday, and he is doing it in New York.

Doan, the 35-year-old free agent, who has spent his entire career with the Winnipeg/Phoenix organization, is in New York and meeting with the Rangers brass to discuss a future on Broadway.

The Rangers finished with the most points (109) in the Eastern Conference this past season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the New Jersey Devils in six games. The Rangers were showing interest in Doan last week, and he currently has offers on the table from Los Angeles, San Jose, Vancouver, Detroit, Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

One offer Doan has is a four-year contract in excess of $30 million. There are several other teams interested in Doan, who had 22 goals and 28 assists in leading the Coyotes to the Western Conference Final last season, but the visit in New York is his first since free agency started.

    THANK YOU DOANER
    One of our city's true sports heros.. Him and Gonzo.. This guy deserves a great deal in a great city where he can win and not worry about nagging ownership issues. I truly hope he pulls a Ray Bourque- thank you Doaner for being a tough nosed player who simply led your team and did your job. Jarrod

    Doan is in New York because...
    from what I understand,he's attending the Collective Bargaining meetings, as a the player representative of the Coyotes. While there, he might be talking to the Rangers as well.
