Per Bob Mackenzie, he hasn't met with anyone other than his agent thus far.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Justin Schultz is wrapping up two days of meetings between himself and his agents in Toronto. He has NOT met or talked to any NHL teams yet.

At this point Doan's top 2 choices where he'd like to play are Vancouver and Montreal. Will look to see if #Canucks or #Habs have interest.

The team would be stupid to not ask about Doan.

If Doan has shortlisted us along with the Habs, it'll come down to term and chance of winning immediately I'd imagine.

Don't buy into that... EVERY team will have interest... and Doan will narrow it down to a combination of term... dollars... competition level and quality of living for his family.

There is at least 6 teams that would be willing to meet those demands.

Which would put Montreal at a disadvantage... he wants to win NOW... and Montreal would not be near the top for someone looking to win now.

When the season starts (assuming it's still October) Shane Doan will be 36. Term won't be much longer than a few years, so I'm not sure how much the quality of living for the family will come into play. Dollars probably doesn't even factor as much into it as a chance to win now.

He's been around the league for ages, he knows the other teams he's played against. That tweet wasn't about which teams were interested (agreed, everyone) but which teams he was interested in. That said, it's a tweet from an "insider" so of course it's probably complete hogwash. Moving along...

My best guess is there are no more 5 teams on Schultz's shortlist. VAN (Gillis, Gilman, Vigneault) have been in TOR awaiting word.

For Doan to already have narrowed it down to two teams before July 1st seems a bit pre-mature.

My opinion was based off of comments he has made over the past little while.... has discussed wanting a little bit of security for his family (not moving each year for the next 3-4 years) as well as wanting a chance at the cup. Which would almost immediately eliminate Montreal.

Unless there is a change of heart, I expect Matt Carkner will test the UFA market. Has turned down a one year deal. #Sens
