Rice 42 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 No. Trading a guy who is capable of 100+ points while playing a stellar 2-way game all for $6.7 million because of a slow first quarter is a ridiculous idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DangleDangleBeach 16 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 To those honestly considering trading Datsyuk, I hope you have never ever once criticized a player's loyalty before (Fedorov anyone?)... An MVP caliber player who is committed to the franchise long-term, has helped us win two cups, and is a year removed from the finals.... and there is trade talk? Sheesh, talk about malcontents. 1 bad stretch in the guys career with us and he's suddenly Mr. Expendable. the way i see it, 1 goal and 9 points in 16 playoff games at 6.7 mill a year is hilarious. 21 points in 28 games is just as unacceptable. we can all sit here and talk about what he has done, 194 points over the last 2 seasons is beatiful, but lets talk about what he is doing... counting last years playoffs datsyuk has scored 30 points in 44 games and that isn't superstar material imo but you never know, but i mean, since last years playoffs? to the guy who wants to send datsyuk to the sharks.... think about it like this, would you want datsyuk on the sharks when he started playing more like datsyuk? or any team for that matter. (even though there is NO WAY the sharks could ever make that work contract wise unless they gave up one of boyle/heaters/marleau/thornton which i dont see happening).

cupforwings 138 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 actually, Datsyuk said the one player he would want to play with would be Joe Thornton... but I would never trade Datsyuk. He IS too good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cupforwings 138 Report post Posted December 10, 2009 That'd be a terrible line.... Thornton and Datsyuk? Who would SCORE? yeah, thats what i thought.... but i think Datsyuk wants someone to pass to him for a change so he can be the scorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theophany 110 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Hey I have an idea, let's trade Barry Sanders. Hey I have an idea, let's trade Steve Yzerman. Hey I have an idea, let's trade Nick Lidstrom.

Carman 387 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 No. Trading a guy who is capable of 100+ points while playing a stellar 2-way game all for $6.7 million because of a slow first quarter is a ridiculous idea. He is not capable of 100+ points. He hasn't done it yet and is on pace for 67ish points. Think of what we could get in return!!! Trade him to Buffalo for Tyler Myers imo.

nc19 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2009 No way trade datsyuk.. he is definetly capable for 100 point seasons... he's hit 97 twice. He's definitely played better this season than his stats show, and trading him just because of a slow 30 games is rediculous.. especially when half of our starters are injured and the rest of our team looks sub par. Though i think he can play a lot better than he is right now, he and zetterberg are the only players who consistently generate chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crymson Report post Posted December 11, 2009 im not really sure which side im on, i like datsyuk but if we were going to trade him, shouldnt we do it while he had some value? Go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ZetterbergFourty Report post Posted December 11, 2009 Datsyuk belongs in the same sentence as AO, Malkin, Crosby. Have you seen the YT's of just what Datsyuk can do with a puck?? 97pts (good for 4th overall last season I think?) Just because he's struggling a bit right now is no reason to go off and trade him. Nevermind the fact he signed a contract good through until the 2013/14 season. How about rethinking this game plan and working some of the dead weight into the mix? I dont think he's gonna be going anywhere. Thinking who the Wings could get for him.. probably a couple 20-30 goal scorers and some picks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
