ARIZONA COYOTES

Report: Red Wings interested in Shane Doan

Jul 3, 2012, 7:26 PM | Updated: 8:34 pm

Coyotes fans don’t want to see Shane Doan play for any
other
franchise, but until the free agent re-ups with Phoenix,
that will remain a possibility.

Of course, Doan has professed a desire to stay in the
Valley, but only if the team’s ownership situation can be
resolved in a timely manner.

Should that not happen, though, and should Doan decide he
can’t wait any longer, there will be a long list of teams
interested in acquiring the 35-year-old.

Among them: the Detroit Red Wings.

At this point, while seeing Doan in any other team’s
sweater would be tough to swallow, the Red Wings probably
rank right there with the Kings on the “please don’t let
this happen” scale.

Because, while Doan is not the player he once was, the
Coyotes’ captain is still great in the dressing room and
solid on the ice, as he’s coming off a year where he
tallied 50 points and led the team to the Western
Conference Final.

Then again, Doan does not want to leave. But if the
ownership situation lingers, he may not have much of a
choice.

Except, you know, where he actually signs.
