Agent says Doan won't retire yet: 'Time for him to get a shot at the Cup'

Shane Doan isn't hanging up his skates.

"Shane is ready to enter the free-agent market and see where it goes," Doan's agent, Terry Bross, told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Craig Morgan. "Time for him to get a shot at the Cup."

The Coyotes opted not to offer Doan a contract for next season, and team owner Andrew Barroway said in a statement Monday that "the time has come for us to move on and focus on our young, talented group of players and our very bright future."

Doan will now become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The 40-year-old didn't provide much in the way of production this past season, as he posted only six goals and 27 points on an abysmal Coyotes squad.

Most of his value is of the intangible variety, considering his leadership experience as Arizona's longtime captain and his 21 NHL seasons, all of which were spent with the Coyotes organization.
