Will DePaoli of Inside Pittsburgh Sports: It may take weeks for Shane Doan to make a decision. “Serious negotiations” haven’t taken place between Doan and Penguins yet, but they appear to be the short-list of teams he’d considered. Doan’s camp is becoming more skeptical of Jamison’s bid to buy the team. The Canadiens may be a sleeper team if Doan looks elsewhere. The Sabres have made a big 4 year offer.
Josh Yohe via twitter: Doan’s agent: “We are still hoping this thing in Phoenix is going to work out.” … “It would be premature to say Pittsburgh is definitely a possibility. We plan to narrow it to 4-6 teams by the weekend.” On the possibility of signing a short term deal: “I don’t see that happening.”
Andy Strickland via twitter: T.J. Oshie’s hearing is set for 9:00 am on Friday, and there a decent chance that they agree on a contract before then.
