I think that is the option you are looking for.
With the cap there really aren't that many making 4mil and the way the team is made up, they can easily find jobs in more pleasant locales. It really is a team of pluggers all pulling on the same rope.
Doan will never say he would not play there but... without Bryz any hopes this team has of being successful are not great. He is entering the downward slope of his career and his loyalty is with the Phoenix Coyotes not Winnipeg. His family grew up in Phoenix not in Winnipeg. I would not be surprised to see him ask for a trade to a contender to finish out his career.
Oh and since you brought it up... hmm Belanger said

Who, without naming any names, played in Winnipeg and likely doesn't want to go back?
