Datsyuk, BTW, turns 41 in July. ARI currently owns Datsyuk’s NHL rights, until July 1, when he would become UFA in the NHL.

Oh, really?

If Pavel Datsyuk did decide to return to the NHL... he’d come back to the Red Wings, right? I’m not sure I’d want to see Datsyuk in another team’s sweater. I know some fans weren’t thrilled with how he left Detroit, but I imagine we’d surely welcome him back for another go at it. Could you imagine what Filip Zadina could do on a line with Datsyuk?
