Teams rush to sign players ahead of looming lockout Fri Sep 14, 2012 9:32pm EDT Phoenix Coyotes long-standing captain Shane Doan was the biggest name to ink a deal, the free-agent forward signing a four-year $21.2 million extension to remain in the desert with the financially troubled franchise owned by the NHL. "I was drafted by this organization and it means a great deal to me to be able to play with the same franchise my entire career," Doan said on the team's website. I'm very excited about our team, our coaching staff and our management and am confident about our future in Arizona. I chose to stay with the Coyotes because I am committed to winning here, not anywhere else and I love living and playing in the Valley. Doan's deal includes a $2 million signing bonus that will provide the rugged forward with a cushion should the NHL lock out players if a new deal is not in place before the current pact expires at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT) on Sunday. Teams will not be able to make any signings or personnel moves until a new CBA is reached. Taken with the seventh overall pick by the Winnipeg Jets in the 1995 NHL Draft, Doan has spent his entire career with the franchise, including its relocation to Phoenix in 1996. In 16 seasons, Doan has scored 318 goals and 788 points. Last season the rugged winger had 22 goals and 26 assists in leading the Coyotes to their first playoff series win and an appearance in the Western Conference finals where they fell to eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. Doan had been linked with a move to the Vancouver Canucks as the Coyotes attempted to sort out a messy ownership situation. With Doan off the market, the Canucks announced they had signed left-winger Alex Burrows to a four-year, $18 million contract extension. Burrows, who has spent his entire seven-year career in Vancouver, has been a reliable point producer scoring 139 goals and 270 points in 522 games. Carlson, taken in the first round of the 2008 draft by Washington, recorded 32 points last season and a career-high nine goals.
