Doan as a player, in this situation, is nothing like Francis. Totally different types of players, different situations, different credentials.

I wouldn't be to quick to rule out Calgary, Edmonton or Vancouver.

Vancouver has a good shot. Doan lives in BC, where his wife is from in the offseason. He's part owner of a WHL team here, the Canucks are contenders and he is close with Laurence Gillman (assistant GM) who was with the Jets and Coyotes organization with Doan for over a decade.

No, ek. I think Doan is great and all, but Francis? One of the greatest players to ever play the game? Arguably the most gentlemanly and cerebral player ever?

No.

I really like Doan too and I can't agree more. Though they share some traits and coincidences have occurred (many great players are drafted top 10) Ron Francis is in a totally different league than everyone in the league now besides maybe Sid.

While I think Sid has a better scoring touch and Francis was far more calm and conservative in his behaviour, I gotta agree that when it comes to each players respective games, Crosby and Francis play an almost identical style. Hell, even the curve of their sticks are similar.
