The sheer fact that this thread hasnt even had a rumor posted in 5 days is a bad sign heading into this season. lol

Just for the Hell of it...JJ at HB is reporting the Blackhawks are making a big push for Doan. Supposedly Doan flew in to town recently and met with the Blackhawks.

I would love to see Doan on the team...but some of the terms that I have seen being thrown around scare the hell out of me...

Twitter reports say Wings have backed out of the Doan negotiations, because the offer was too high.

I've gotta imagine that means the price is too high to be a reasonable deal for the Hawks.

I wouldn't mind throwing $6 or $7 million at Doan ONLY if he'd take a one-year deal. But anything beyond that isn't a smart investment, given Doan's age.

thats a lot of dough for 1 year too. im sure a lot of teams will pass on him for his demands.

Several different sources and people all over the web, so it is hard to know what is fact/fiction at this point.

From what I have seen/heard...could be looking for up to 5 years. Could also be looking for up to $7.5mil. Doesn't necessarily mean he is looking for the both of those together, but just some things I have seen.

If it's only a one-year deal, I think the Hawks can afford to overpay a bit. It's when you have long-term deals with a lot of money that runs your team into cap trouble.

Ok, I have been super busy lately and haven't seen much of this.

With the ridiculous inflation in player salaries, Doan is probably worth around $6mil - atleast according to the current market. At 4 years though? That is where the killer comes in. Damn.

Whatever Doan's smoking, he should share it with the world.
