Shane Doan: Retires from hockey
Shane Doan announced his retirement via The Arizona Republic on Wednesday.Doan will hang up his skates following a 21-year career that started with the old Winnipeg Jets, who moved to the desert and became the Coyotes. In all, the winger racked up an impressive 402 goals, 570 assists and 1,353 PIM in 1,540 games. Heading into the offseason, Arizona had informed the veteran that he wasn't going to be retained. Regardless of whether he was unable to secure a landing spot with another club or just couldn't bring himself to put on another sweater, Doan will go down as the ultimate Coyote and a potential Hall of Famer, though it's questionable whether he's compiled enough stats, having failed to reach 500 goals or 1,000 points in his career.

Shane Doan: Will not be retained
Shane Doan has been informed by the Coyotes that they will not be re-signing him this offseason, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.The writing was likely on the wall for Doan after Arizona did not include him on its protected players list. If the 40-year-old decides to continue his career, the Golden Knights could sign him, thereby designating Doan as their selection from the Coyotes. The winger has been with the Yotes since their inception, having played his first NHL season with the original Winnipeg Jets. At this point, one would imagine Doan would like the chance to suit up for a contender after playing in a mere 55 playoffs contests -- compared to 1,540 regular-season outings.

Coyotes' Shane Doan: Could end up in Vegas
Shane Doan remains without a contract heading into 2017-18, thus making him eligible for the Vegas expansion draft June 21, theScore reports.The long-time Arizona Coyotes captain had the worst showing of his career last year, managing just six goals and 27 points. Last week, Doan reportedly told his agent that he's leaning toward playing another season, and since he's set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, the Golden Knights have access to three days of exclusive negotiation rights should they make him their selection in the draft. At any rate, if the Alberta native decides to stick around for one more year, it'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

Coyotes' Shane Doan: Leaning toward playing one more season
According to his agent, Terry Bross, Shane Doan is leaning toward playing one more year before retiring, Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports reports.Doan has spent his entire 21-year career with the same organization, making him one of just nine players in NHL history to have had such a tenure. It's hard to imagine the 40-year-old forward donning a different sweater in 2017-18 if he does decide to play one final season, but it remains to be seen whether he still fits into the Arizona Coyotes' plans, as they're focused on developing their young talent, which means Doan would be taking important ice time from their prospects. Doan is expected to make a final decision by the conclusion of the NHL draft, so his status for next season should become clear by the end of June. Either way, the aging winger only tallied 27 points in 74 games last season, so he's not a viable option in most season-long fantasy formats at this stage in his career.

Coyotes' Shane Doan: Sidelined for Tuesday's game
Shane Doan will not play in Tuesday's game against the Stars due to a lower-body injury.Doan is limping to the finish line in what might be his final NHL season. He was able to return last Friday against the Capitals, but apparently he either aggravated his previous injury, suffered a new ailment, or experienced enough soreness to put him back on the shelf. He has two more chances to return to game action before the curtain closes on the 2016-17 season.

Coyotes' Shane Doan: Could return Friday
Shane Doan (lower body) will not be available against the Blues on Wednesday, but he could return to action against the Capitals on Friday.This has to be a disappointing year for Doan, as injuries and the lack of talent around him likely will result in the winger tallying the second-lowest point total of his career -- his lowest having been the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign. Once the campaign wraps up, questions will no doubt start circulating about whether the 40-year-old wants to suit up for another.

Coyotes' Shane Doan: Frustrated by late-season injury
Shane Doan (lower body) has not played since March 16 and remains frustrated by his late-season injury, Sarah McClellan of The Arizona Republic reports.The 40-year-old might be playing in his final NHL season, adding to the sting of the injury. He has recently been able to take part in the team's group skate, but the timetable for his return to game action is uncertain. It would be a shame to see the venerable right winger go out like this, so hopefully he'll be able to get out on the ice for a game or two before the curtains fall on the 2016-17 season -- and perhaps his career.

Shane Doan (lower body) will not be ready to go for Monday's game in St. Louis, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.The Arizona Coyotes have elected to keep Doan off the ice for a couple days with the hope that it will help his lower-body injury heal. Either way, the veteran winger does not present much fantasy value even when healthy, so he can be safely ignored in most formats.
