His preference is to stay with the Coyotes, but only if he is reasonably certain the Coyotes have a long-term future in Phoenix.
If the referendum to block the new lease deal in Glendale goes ahead, it will likely scuttle the sale agreement the league has with Greg Jamison. If the referendum doesn't happen, the sale will likely be completed and the Coyotes will stay in Glendale for the foreseeable future.
Today is the deadline for the petition for the referendum to be submitted. If it doesn't get submitted, the lease deal will be completed and Doan will likely feel confidant enough in the team's future to stay in Phoenix.
If another wrench gets thrown into the Coyotes saga, Doan will likely look elsewhere.
