The Coyotes have re-signed captain Shane Doan to a four-year contract. 

“We are thrilled to sign Shane to a long-term contract,” said Maloney. “Shane is our captain and the heart and soul of our franchise. He is the consummate professional and one of the best leaders in the NHL. His loyalty, commitment, integrity and passion for the game epitomize everything you’d want in a player. It was a priority for us to sign him to a long-term deal so that he can play for the Coyotes for the remainder of his career.”  

Doan, who was selected by the franchise with the seventh overall selection in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, has spent his entire career with the Coyotes/Jets organization and has played the most games in team history (1,198). 

Shane Doan said Thursday he has a "deal worked out" with the Coyotes and is simply waiting for Greg Jamison to finalize his agreement to buy the team.

"We have a deal worked out, that we just want to make sure the team gets signed, and everything gets done, and it gets done before the 15th (of September)," Doan said on XTRA 910 AM Radio in Arizona.
