Confirmed with Link: Shane Doan Retires

[Mosby]

Gambo says 5 teams showed interest in Doan:

Oilers, Flames, Stars, Predators, Rangers

One of those 5 offered a contract. He didn't say which.

If I had to guess, I'd say NYR (they showed interest in the past and at this year's trade deadline) or Calgary because of the Brad/Don connection.

Someone said Tampa?

When I envisioned Shane retiring I always imagined this thread being 20 pages.

The relative lack of response is suprising.

So did I. I have to wonder how bad the collective exhaustion is around here.

 

[Ebb]

Well, it was about a year overdue, so interest has waned. Plus, I'm sure he has plenty of metnions throughout the Coyotes HF boards.

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again

Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger's hand
In a, desperate land

Okay, the rest of the song doesn't relate (I hope), but there's my 2 cents' worth

A lot was said in the Doan not offered contract thread. You almost have to include that thread too.

I want to congratulate all of you guys for knowing Shane in person.

The way he speaks about everyone around him is truely warm and kind. Top notch gentle and loving. Totally amazing.

Damn, I miss THE captain.. I came all the way from Finland to see his retirement ceremony. What a night.

He may be back soon in some capacity.
Coyotes, Shane Doan have talks about potential return to organization

I came from Queen Creek, nearly as far
