GREAT NEWS FOR BIG SHANE!!

 

[KG]

Great news!

 

[SniperHF]

I'm a bit surprised it came this fast actually. Figured he'd take a year off.
Glad he's back in the fold.

 

[Summer Rose]

Good for him. This is good to see.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

This is good because it will train him to become an exec... which means we might see him in an admin position with the Coyotes sooner or later.

Looking at the Coyotes front office I hope it's sooner and not later

 

[Matias Maccete]

Good for Shane.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Doan was never going to come back and be a part of the Coyotes front office given how they showed such disrespect to him. Perhaps with the next owner and GM, but not with Barroway and Chayka.

 

[KG]

I don't think that's true. It makes sense to start somewhere else first before joining the org. Get a little distance, and a different perspective, first.

If Randy Johnson and Luis Gonzalez could patch up their differences with the Diamondbacks, then Doan certainly can with the Coyotes.

Both under the new owners, IIRC.

Maybe he'll learn to be more objective. Never impressed with his 'evaluation' of moves.

 

[mouser]

Congrats to Doaner. Wonder if this is a full time position.

 

[Sinurgy]

Doan has given more than enough to this tire fire, he deserves to go breathe some fresh air for once.

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

Not sure if it's been posted on the board yet, but Zbynek Michalek is signed and playing in the Czech League this year.

Good for him.
