Exactly!!! So why do people ASSUME one way over the other? Do they know Pavel personally? Its all supposition.

As is your post below where you dismiss it as posturing. I'm guessing you don't know Datsyuk or his agent.

Datsyuk is the LAST thing Wings fans need to worry about. Nick Lidstrom said he wanted to be in Sweden with his family for how many years? This is just TALK that ensures contract negotiations go in the player's/agent's favor. What do you think they are going to say? "I will sign with Detroit no matter what. Even if its for more years and less money. As long as I get to be a Red Wing." Use your heads, people. Simple posturing.

My whole point was basically that we have no idea what Pavel is thinking. But I do know he has a daughter in Russia that he rarely gets to see. That's enough to make me think the KHL is at least a possibility.

So now that some of you confirmed to me that Datsyuk is divorced (had no idea he was) it all makes sense now. Here's my quick story:

 

A couple months ago I went to Cheli's Chili bar in Dearborn with some friends (I go to UM-Dearborn so was our occasional hangout spot). Wouldn't you know it, Datsyuk was there with two GORGEOUS women (yes not one but two). As we were walking in, they were walking out. At the time I didn't think anything of it, but now it makes sense why he was with these women... the mans divorced and he's trying to make the most of his single life. (speculation but that's the way I see it especially since he was preeeety touchy with the women) .

 

Anyways I asked him if I could take a pic with him and he immediately answered with a " No" , but I think he felt bad because he turned back and said something like "sorry no pictures at bars "  and I kind of understand what he means since people out there could put the pics up twist up the story of him and the models. Anyways he was very genuine about it and I respected his response.

 

But in any case, a lot of people are saying how datsyuk is lonely here in the US and blah blah. I don't think that is true. I think he makes the most of his time when he's here. I mean he seemed like he had a great bar night when he was walking out... And from those pics of him playing soccer with those neighbors and what not. In any case, at the end of the day were all making speculations based on what he hear and see. I told you guys my story of seeing him, conclude what you must with it.

Outstanding story man, awesome that it got cleared up haha. You should add Pasha on facebook or twitter, he posts pictures from road trips all the time. He looks like he has lots of fun. He was going to movies with Brunner (Monsters University) and was posing with Sully. It seems like he really likes to travel and make the most of every experience. He post a lot of statues and historic places.

That wasn't Pavel. Pavel was at home absolutely pining to be back in the -15 degree mother Russia to see his beloved daughter. You, my friend, saw Pavel's twin brother, Richard. Equally as popular with the ladies, but not quite as good of a stick handler!

Like I said before, pasha re-signing is the least of our concerns. 5 years, 35 mil and he's in.

I don't think there's any reason to speculate until the offseason.

“I did meet with Gary Greenstin during our last homestand,'' Holland said. “We briefly talked about Pav and we both agreed that between now and the end of June, when he heads home, we'll sit down and have further discussion about Pav.''

The Red Wings would like to sign Datsyuk to an extension on July 5, the first day he is able to re-up. Datsyuk, however, hasn't committed to staying in the NHL beyond next season, having previously indicated a desire to finish his career in his native Russia, whether that's in 2014-15 or later.

Greenstin said no decision has been made on Datsyuk's future, but said he assured the Red Wings that if Datsyuk remains in the NHL beyond next season, it will be with Detroit.

Some in the organization don't believe it's a slam-dunk that Datsyuk will return to Russia after 2013-14. Greenstin's desire to talk with the Red Wings after this season indicates that Datsyuk at least is seriously considering remaining in the NHL.

As I've said before, I have a deep inherent feeling he will be back. However, I plan on some heavy duty groveling at camp.  Can't hurt!

Do you like Datsyuk?

[Kira]

Is that a rhetorical question?
