While there remains nothing new to report on Shane Doan‘s future, the free agent restated his preference to stay with the Phoenix Coyotes in an interview with TSN.

“Right now I’m doing everything I can to stay there and that’s kind of my goal,” Doan said. “At the same time, I’m having to do some due diligence, now in the fact that the longer it takes the more likely and the harder it seems to be to get a deal done in Phoenix.” The Coyotes ownership situation remains in flux, and the longer it plays out, the more likely it seems that Doan will have to look elsewhere.
