Around the League
NHL.com is reporting that Shane Doan of the Arizona Coyotes will not be offered a new contract for the upcoming season.
"“After serious consideration, we have decided to not offer Shane Doan a contract for the upcoming season. The time has come for us to move on and to focus on our young, talented group of players and our very bright future,” owner Andrew Barroway said. “This was a very difficult decision given what Shane has done for the Coyotes and his unparalleled importance to the organization. With that said, this is necessary to move us forward as a franchise.”"
Doan has spent his entire NHL career with the organization.
