Is Doan a Coyote for life, or trade bait?

The Oilers traded away Gretzky. After that, the term '[insert team name] for life' became more of an oddity than a reality.

The real truth to the story is that his Mrs. doesn't want to leave Arizona!

It's better than being Coyote bait.

Nice talk now, but when the trade deadline comes around and someone makes the Yotes an offert they can't refuse, he'll be out the door in a heart beat.

If either side were serious about him being a Coyote for life they would have been working on an extension. Not happening now so he is gonna be gone by the deadline.

And with this, can we conclude Coyote talk for the day? Just trying to avoid the inevitable "when are they moving" convo that needs to be put away for a while. There's legitimate puck being played this week :D

I've lived in Canada for a long time Danny.

The Leafs open the season on HNIC, and close the season on HNIC, and fill almost every Saturday night on HNIC.

Let's just call it an educated guess shall we?

"Doan said Saturday his goal is to finish his career in Arizona"

Why?

I don't think there are any Peter Pucks left in the NHL except for Brian Burke, maybe. He's in a class all by himself since Crazy Mike is no longer a GM.

Crazy Mike....now that could apply to both Mike Milbury and to Mike Keenan. Then again, so do the phrases "I'll ruin your franchise" and "I'll alienate your players..."

But could be worse...you could be stuck in a room with both of them debating ANY issue, with Pierre McGuire. Ugh, I think I just made myself sick with that one....yikes...

^^^ Sorry, that should say "with Pierre McGuire doing the play by play"

Keenan is crazy but Milbury is just an idiot.

'arry, the only place they're going this season is into the lottery. They haven't even played a game and everybody in town is saying the team is awful. I know we're usually very, very quick to react and dramatic about it but I don't think there's any hiding the fact that the team they currently have has next to no shot to make the playoffs.

So, you're saying HNIC ratings have hit rock bottom? :)
