Can't blame him too much for passing on Doan.

I don't think they passed, I think the price was too high to trade for his rights (4th and a 3rd, 4th and a 2nd if you sign him?).
Feaster mentioned they targeted another player to trade for his rights after Wideman, for a top 6 player who was difficult to play against, but the price was too steep.
If Phoenix doesn't sign Doan, Calgary is likely the team that will.
