In a perfect world, the Arizona Coyotes would have found a way to accelerate the rebuild that started just two years ago to win a Stanley Cup, and long time Captain Shane Doan could ride off into the sunset like the cowboy he’s always wanted to be.
BREAKING: The world is not perfect.
It was announced on Monday that the Coyotes and Doan would be parting ways. When the season starts in October, for the first time in its 21 years of existence in the desert, the franchise will not be announcing his name during the player introductions at the home opener.
