The Arizona Coyotes have not known a season without Shane Doan.
He was with the Winnipeg Jets when they moved to the desert, and thus far he has remained rooted firmly in the Valley.
Now, however, that situation has real potential to change.
Doan is open to being traded to a contender, but cautioned that the fit would “have to be exactly perfect, and that just doesn’t happen in our sport too often.”
Initially, the news came as a shock to fans.
After being heavily courted as a free agent prior to the beginning of the 2012-13 season, Doan ultimately decided to sign a three-year contract and stay in Arizona.
