The Shane Doan waiting game continues as the veteran forward has yet to make up his mind on where he's going to play (and very likely finish his career). While part of the Bruce Maxwell Jersey problem could be Doan remaining undecided and hoping for everything to work out in , it's also entirely po sible that many of the teams that have expre sed interest simply aren't willing to meet his asking price.According to a report from Dave Shoalts of the on Friday, Doan is seeking a contract that will pay him $30 million over four years ($7.5 million per year) . This comes after TSN's Aaron Ward suggested that the are one team that is supposedly out of the Doan sweepstakes .If that seems like a Fernando Rodney Jersey high asking price, that's probably because it is. (Though, )Doan is still a good player to have, but he's also a soon-to-be 36-year-old, 50-point player. Would you be comfortable with your team giving out that kind of money to a player like Doan? It's not just a matter of whether or not he can produce enough and give you enough to justify that sort of investment, but how long he'll actually be worth it. If he's ever worth it.There are only 12 players in the NHL right now that make at least $7.5 million, and only three of them are older than 30. None of them are older than 32.Since Doan will turn 36 in early October, here's a look at what the NHL's most productive forwards age 36-and-older counted against Blank Jersey their team's salary caps this past season: Top Forwards age 36-and-older for the 2011-12 seasonPlayerAgeGoalsPointsCap Hit392477$3 millionMartin 362574$5.6 million412666$4 millionDaniel Alfred son392759$4.8 million361655$2.5 million391954$3.3 million371748$1.5 millionSaku Koivu371138$2.5 million361438$1.93 millionJason Arnott371734$2.8 millionKeep in mind that Doan turns 36 this season and is coming off a 50-point performance, while he's averaged about 55 points over the past three seasons.As for the players on the table above and the cash commitments for this upcoming season:Whitney signed a two-year deal in worth $4 million per yearJagr joined him in Dallas for one year on a deal that pays him a little over $4 millionProspal re-signed in last year for an identical $2.5 million hitSullivan signed a $2.5 million contract in Phoenix in an effort to replace WhitneyKoivu is back in for $3.5 millionBertuzzi is back in Detroit for two years at a little over $2 million per yearAlfred son and St. Louis are still on long-term contracts signed many years ago. Arnott remains unsigned as a UFA.So, again, would you feel comfortable watching as your team gives Doan something in the neighborhood of four years and $30 million? Ramon Laureano Jersey You shouldn't.I understand it's free agency, and there is a ( ) limited market for teams to fight over. When you get down to one guy that over half of the league wants because they feel he can fill a need and be a top-line player for them you're going to see that guy get a lot of money. Perhaps more than his "market value."But if some team actually gives out that sort of contract it's going to make in by seem even better.If I'm a general manager and my options are one year and $7 Rollie Fingers Jersey million for Semin, or four years and $30 million for Doan, I'm taking the former every single time. (Then again, if I'm a GM I would actually be making those decisions instead of writing about them.) .
