Bobby Ryan On The Move?

Reports have been rampant this past week about Bobby Ryan and where he will be traded to. While I don't have an answer for that, this is what I've found.

He's been linked to the Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers and the Detroit Red Wings.

I'm sure one of these teams will raise the stakes and land the talented winger. But it sounds like he won't be moved until Shane Doan signs somewhere first.

This could take a while...

Shane Doan And The Drama That Surrounds Him

It's no secret that the next BIG signing of the off season will be that of Shane Doan.

As of right now, he's made no decision to where he's going to go. He's been rumored to be going to a third of the teams in the league and it's anyone's guess which team he picks in the end.

The main road block in the decision process is what's going to happen with the Coyotes. Greg Jamison is trying to come up with the funds to buy the Phoenix Coyotes from the NHL to keep the team in Phoenix.

As of right now, Jamison and his group are $20 million short. From my understanding they are trying to get those funds as fast as they can before Doan jumps ship.

There has also been the rumor that Jamison was supposed to call/meet with Shane Doan to discuss what is going on with the purchase of the team and also to discuss the future of Doan leading the Coyotes to new heights. Some say that meeting indeed happen and some say it never did.

Rumor also has it, it's possible that Jamison didn't even know he was supposed to call Doan. Has there been a mix up? Is this all just a false rumor?

There has been talk about the dollar amount and the term he's looking for. I've heard he wants a 4 year $30 million deal. That's pretty steep for a guy his age even though he can still put out.

If I'm Shane Doan, I'd be looking at a team that can win the Stanley Cup. Why not go out in style?

But then again... I sure wish he'd come to Edmonton like he said to me last summer (link to article below). Oilers have always been his favorite team and his family lives close by in Halkirk. If he signed here it would make sense. But the Oilers won't pay that kind of money he's reportedly asking for.
