Wingsfan4life19 26 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 http://www.spectorshockey.net/ "Pavel Datsyuk is trying to re-sign with the Detroit Red Wings. Spector's Note: To do so Datsyuk will have to come down from his earlier asking prices, believed around the $6.85 million mark." 6.8 million seems a little much...ok way to much...for Pavs... I hope he comes down More News: DATSYUK LAUGHS OFF INTERNET RUMOUR. DETROIT NEWS: Ted Kulfan reports Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk "laughed off an Internet rumor he was planning on signing with Washington this summer to team with Alexander Ovechkin . Datsyuk can become an unrestricted free agent this summer, and his agent Gary Greenstin and the Wings have made mild progress on a new deal." Spector's Note: It's possible Datsyuk could re-sign with the Wings, and they'd like to retain him, but his salary demands (which were rumoured earlier this season to be over $6 million per season) will have to be more reasonable. If not, he could become a UFA, but it remains to be seen if he'd sign with the Capitals, who may have their sights set on more consistent regular and post-season performers like Daniel Briere, Chris Drury or Scott Gomez. Is it possible that Dtasyuk is an LGW viewer? There was a post on this subject within th elast few days...It is reassuring that it is only a rumor about him to Washington.

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 Is it possible that Dtasyuk is an LGW viewer? There was a post on this subject within th elast few days...It is reassuring that it is only a rumor about him to Washington. It's a rumor that's likely gone around, so it isn't LGW-exclusive. I say Z needs to cold clock Dats and put some sense into his head. "Look, buddy, my friend, compadre, mi amigo, igor, it looks like somebody missed snacktime. Here's a McD's snackwrap.

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) I want Dats to re-sign, but at this point $6.85 is too high......especially with Lids making $7.8 (which by the way, he deserves every penny of). I would be more than willing to sign Dats long term for $5 mil, and even $5.5-$5.9 if he performs stongly in the playoffs since the cap is rumored to be around $47-$48 mil.

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) 6 million is way too much and Detroit shouldnt sweat it either. Drury can replace Datsyuk. Hes not as pretty with his moves, but hes got different skills that are just as valuable. Id like to see 5-5.5M at most. On a long term contract. After he performs in the playoffs.

Edit: Spelling It's gonna take at least 6mil to sign him - no if ands or buts. Holland may be able to get creative with incentives (like playoff performance) - but don't count on it. Datsyuk holds most of the cards because of market demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eklund and his "people" post random rumours that people have heard with nothing backing it up. All spector does is post comments about rumours that are in either in actual news papers or some people listening to sport talk radio in various markets. I would believe something coming out of Spectors mouth before something coming out of Eklunds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 I have a suggestion: Wait until after the playoffs. And I'd like to ask once again: Why is everyone so afraid he'll go to Washington? The Capitals haven't signed a big priced free agent since Jagr, and he was such a bust there that GM George McPhee has stated NUMEROUS times that the Capitals were going to stricly re-build through the draft. More than likely Datsyuk will not sign with Washington. Just because Eklund can pull out these rumors from the far corners of his ass doesn't make them true.

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted March 19, 2007 This team can't exist without Pavel in the regular season. He is currently #15 in the NHL in scoring. He has a psychic connection with Zetterberg and was a key part of the best line in the NHL this winter. In addition, he is known all over the league for his insane skills and jaw dropping plays. Sign him for 6 point whatever or this team is toast and he will go on to greatness somewhere else and we can sit here and whine about how we don't have him any more. He is worth keeping but at a lesser price, I think playoff ncentives are a must for a contract.. Playoff incentives are not an option for a player with his tenure. He has to be in the league longer for that. I learned that right here on LGW. So now what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
