A report out of Phoenix is saying that Coyotes' captain Shane Doan has been offered a $30 million contract over four years by an unidentified Eastern Conference team. The cap hit for the deal would $7.5 million for three or four years. From Pro Hockey Talk:

If the report is accurate and Doan accepts, his cap hit will be $7.5 million. And given he’s 35 years old, that cap hit will be there all four years, even if Doan retires before the contract expires.

Of course, Doan hasn’t accepted any offer yet, and he’s always said his first preference is to stay in Phoenix. But if he has to move, he would want to stay in the Western Conference.

A Western Conference move should put the Detroit Red Wings more into the mix than Eastern teams, but if the price is going to be that high, there is no way he is coming to Hockeytown.

As the end of January approaches, so too does a trade from Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke to bolster his team and elude the madness of the trade deadline.

Burke has stated publicly that he has at least one trade on the burner and he's in conversations with one or more teams. If he pulls the trigger on any deal, however, it will have to a) add size to the top-six unit, and b) upgrade the Leafs for this season as they make a push for the post-season. The only exception, Burke said hypothetically, would be to trade "a 22-year-old for another 22-year-old who plays a different position" in order to fill a need---like, for example, a lack of size in the top-...
