09:55 AM ET 07.28 | Shane Doan deadlines have been kind of like Roberto Luongo trade rumours. The quantity has only been matched by the unreliability. Doan has set another one for today. Greg Jamison indicated to Doan???s camp he could be in possession of the Phoenix Coyotes by today (yeah, right), or at least be in a position to say it???s going to happen soon (yeah, right). If not, and there have been reports Jamison???s bid is unravelling, Doan???s agent Terry Bross vowed he will ???begin aggressively negotiating with other teams.??? It???s about time he makes a deadline stick. The question isn???t still are the Canucks on Doan???s short list? The question now for Vancouver is how many years are the Canucks willing to commit to Doan to stay on his short list?

There is a reason the motto of certain cities is "There's always next year."

Trying to sit between them might actually cause them to fight for once :)

Now I'm pretty cynical, but I'm starting to wonder if all of this talk about wanting to wait to know what's going in Phoenix before making a decision is just Doan's way of driving up his price.

Pavel Datsyuk makes 6.7...so if Doan gets this we have to (HAVE TO!!!) admit Shane is better.

Dats will still be making that money, long after Doan is gone.

With 450K Canadiens down here for thr winter it's almost like I do. :0)

Those poor 'Nucks. Two president cups, one visit to the finals in two years, and no one is happy!
Trading that goalie for Doan will solve all your problems and lead you to a Stanley Cup...?
