Looks like they are going to get a deal done with Doan. They need to get deals done with Perrault and Tellqvist as well. Cujo, in my opinion, will stay or go depending on what HE wants to do. This is probably his final season and he may want a chance at a run in the playoffs.

TAMPA - The Coyotes and the agent for captain Shane Doan made "significant" progress in contract-extension negotiations on Tuesday and, according to an NHL source, a new multiyear deal for Doan could be completed today.
Doan's agent, J.P. Barry, accompanied the team back to Phoenix after Tuesday's game.
The source did not reveal financial details.
Doan, 30, has played his entire NHL career with the Coyotes/Winnipeg Jets franchise and entered Tuesday's game ranked third in games played (774), fifth in goals (191), sixth in assists (260) and sixth in points (451).
Beyond stats, Doan has been captain since the 2003-04 season and the face of the team in its recent marketing efforts.
Negotiations intensified Monday after the Coyotes traded left wing Ladislav Nagy to the Dallas Stars. Like Doan, Nagy is in the final year of his contract and likely would have commanded a similar annual salary in the $4 million to $5 million range.
