Yeah, I saw this on twitter like an hour ago. I didn't post it because it didn't feel news worthy to me.

Any transaction that the team does is newsworthy.

True, but Desbiens is horrible and not worth my time.

Would you give Shane Doan $7,500,000 per year over four years? I wouldn't.

I would be hesitant to give him 4 honestly. I know the market is crazy but I'm not slobbering over him.

I would not. If you could guarantee a cup than yes, but that's not possible.

Doan guarantees a greater chance at a cup. Nothing in life is ever guaranteed. Originally Posted by sfgiants5518

Except for death, taxes, and Canucks winning the cup if Doan signs here. Originally Posted by BlueJayFanDan

It's the fact that if he retires we are stuck with the cap hit. Also a 7.5 cap hit for an aging powers forward, who even in his prime was not an elite player is a tough pill to swallow.
