Don't know how to link articles. Sorry

Sad to see him go, but hopefully he can slide into the player development side of things now.

What a bummer, but it was great to have him here. Hopefully when the time comes and he's ready, he works with the organization somehow.

cheers for the memories doaner

Hate to see him go, but it was nice to see him play. Have fun with the time off, Doaner.

Oh my captain, my captain

Greatest Coyote. Hope he comes back to the team in some capacity.

The last holdout of the original Winnipeg team, no?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Andy Barroway needs to a) start construction on the Doan statue and b) plan the jersey retirement ceremony post-haste.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Thank you Shane Doan for everything you have done.

 

[mouser]

Congrats to Shane on a great career, the epitome of class and leadership.

Three (or more) months too late.

Honestly, I hope he takes a couple years off first. I don't mind seeing him at events or a retirement ceremony or occasional appearance in the booth, but I don't want him hanging around the team right now.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Doan sets the standard on and off the ice for all future Coyotes players.

Congratulations on a terrific career!

 

[moosemeister]

What an awesome career and an even better person. Congrats Doan. I'll miss his smile during warm ups and him always tossing a puck to the kids.

 

[RABBIT]

Love Shane Doan. Great guy, great hockey player. Will miss him thoroughly. This feels like the tight way to do this.

The answer is C, all of the above.

 

[Foggy1097]

I'll always have a boaner for Doaner, that's for sure.

 

[Jamieh]

I'm glad he was comfortable with the time frame and chose to leave a
The ice as a Coyote for Life. I believe that was important to him and he deserves everything he had gotten.

If they can get everything planned/organized, November 11th would be nice (we host vs. the Jets)

 

[Matias Maccete]

Good news, hopefully he gets a huge ceremony.

Three (or more) months too late.

Goof comment

Announcing a few months earlier would have changed?

For Doan? Nothing, and that's the point. Were you not around for the completely avoidable "Coyotes screwed Doan" outrage?
