It\u2019s pretty hard for it all to line up perfectly,\u201d he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<h2>Shane Doan Could be Finished with Arizona Coyotes<\/h2>\n<p>Doan has been a part of a Coyotes team that has struggled throughout his entire career. They have made the playoffs nine\u00a0times, only making it out of the first round once. Doan and the Coyotes barely reached\u00a0a one-year deal last\u00a0off-season. Since\u00a0scoring 28 goals last year, Doan got\u00a0a reduced role on a young Arizona\u00a0team this season.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7Vqnc2mBET8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Also, the Arizona Coyotes are in the middle of a re-build of which Doan is not going to be a part. With so many young players such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/christian-dvorak-8477989\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christain Dvorak<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/max-domi-8477503\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Max Domi<\/a><\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/lawson-crouse-8478474\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lawson Crouse<\/a><\/strong>, the Coyotes are giving them more opportunities to learn and grow. Head coach Dave Tippett made that clear to Doan and acknowledged why it was so important.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s of little surprise that Doan is contemplating a trade. Teams have been interested in him\u00a0in the past. This is really the first time that he\u00a0has reciprocated interest in moving to a Cup-contending team.<\/p>\n<p>The 40-year-old right winger would\u00a0slot in as a fourth-line player on a good team. The California teams have expressed interest in Doan before. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/sharks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Jose Sharks<\/a>\u00a0have had him\u00a0on their radar for a few years. Daryl Sutter loves players like him\u00a0with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/kings\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles Kings<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/ducks\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anaheim Ducks<\/a> have a fourth-line right winger spot available.<\/p>\n<p>But, he&#8217;s not the only player to leave his life-long post to try to win a Cup. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockeydb.com\/ihdb\/stats\/pdisplay.php?pid=3755\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Modano<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jarome-iginla-8462042\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jarome Iginla<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/daniel-alfredsson-8460621\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daniel Alfredsson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are a just a few that\u00a0left but were unsuccessful. After leaving their teams, Modano announced his retirement at\u00a0a press conference in Dallas, where\u00a0he spent\u00a016 seasons. Alfredsson signed a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Ottawa Senators where he spent 17 seasons. It&#8217;s likely that if Doan left\u00a0he would retire as a Coyote.<\/p>\n<p>A Cup is not the be-all and end-all for Doan. \u201cMy whole goal has been to win a Stanley Cup,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019ve played with guys who haven\u2019t won Stanley Cups who I\u2019d consider to be the ultimate winner, and I\u2019ve played with guys who have won Stanley Cups who don\u2019t compare to those guys who haven\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doan has been a phenomenal ambassador for hockey in the state of Arizona. His imprint on the desert-hockey scene will continue long after he\u00a0hangs his skates\u00a0up. Most of all, he&#8217;s\u00a0a fan-favourite who will always have the support of the Arizona faithful. A great player who&#8217;s had a great career just wants one shot at Lord Stanley.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/628055220\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/628055220?et=3jzFZ1O3QblefUYBjgZ6fA&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=oIiUfbMOJWiB0PRAoA-n3zd_fMVWAP9udCgnoKx0Wdg=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Shane Doan finished with the Arizona Coyotes?
