Doan, who turns 40 on Oct. 10, has 396 goals and 549 assists in 1,466 NHL games, all with the Winnipeg Jets/Coyotes franchise after being selected by Winnipeg with the No. 7 pick of the 1995 NHL Draft. He passed Dale Hawerchuk for most goals and points in franchise history last season.
Chayka has been working on a one-year contract for Doan, who scored 28 goals last season, his most since he had 31 in 2008-09.
The Coyotes signed forward Jaime McGinn to a three-year, $10 million contract Friday. They also re-signed defensemen Kevin Connauton and Klas Dahlbeck, who each became an unrestricted free agent when he did not receive a qualifying offer from Arizona on Monday, and signed forward Ryan White, who had 11 goals and five assists for the Philadelphia Flyers last season, each to a one-year contract.
"Shane is so passionate about our team and our roster," Chayka said. "He's excited to see some of the things we're doing. [The first day of free agency] just adds a lot of clarity of how he can fit in and help grow the group and take this team to the next level. That's his goal."
Arizona signed five players to a one-year, two-way contract, including goalie Justin Peters, who is expected to begin the season with Tucson of the American Hockey League.
