chances14 227 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) couple tweets that came across the wire Dmitry Chesnokov @dchesnokov 51m Datsyuk's agent told @plysenkov Pavel has made the decision where he will sign next summer, but won't announce it. #RedWings Dmitry Chesnokov @dchesnokov 49m A number of Russia media reported Datsyuk has reached an agreement with #KHL's AK Bars. This is not the case. #RedWings now before the mods get worked up, this guy is legit. very well known among the russian nhl players. edit: mods feel free to edit the title. there's a couple typos in it Edited May 24, 2013 by chances14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) He decided to stay because we're a contender, even with this 'non-playoff team'. Purely my speculation of course. I hate the timing of these kinds of things. Edited May 24, 2013 by rrasco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate the timing of these kinds of things. i hope you're right but i have a bad feeling. if he's staying with detroit, why not just come out and say it. especially because of the timing of this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 I saw this blowing up on twitter this morning. After just barely preventing my heart from falling out of my ass, I firmly placed my tinfoil hat on in a stylish and not at all tacky manner and got pissed off for a moment. I HATE THE TIMING OF THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!!! It seems like whenever the Wings are playing well and in a groove, some "news" comes up to take the focus off their success. The Nill exodus, now this Pav thing? LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!11!! Then I took off the tinfoil hat, satisfied that I had gotten the day's paranoia out of the way first thing in the morning. Whatever happens, happens. I'm going to enjoy the fact that we have one more season with our Magic Man, and if and when he decides to leave us I will openly weep like a child. 3 Hockeymom1960, Vladifan and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedWingsDad Report post Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Very odd. What would be the point of this announcement? I call BS... This should probably be in the rumor section? Edited May 24, 2013 by RedWingsDad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Exactly. However reputable this guy may be, this is still a rumor. 1 Vladifan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Very odd. What would be the point of this announcement? I call BS... This should probably be in the rumor section? agreed. whether the source is legit or not, until its confirmed by datsyuk I still consider it a rumor. i don't really see pav as the kind of guy who would tell his agent he's reached a decision in the middle of a playoff run either.. and if he did, i doubt his agent would tell anyone.

chances14 227 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) George Malik @georgemalik 43m Gary Greenstin told Sovetsky Sport's Lysenkov that Pavel's made his mind up, not that he's signed with another team. Worry not yet. Edited May 24, 2013 by chances14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 Isnt it technically ILLEGAL for players under contracts to discuss their future with anyone besides their agent? If that's the case no one should know wtf datsyuk is upto besides Greenstein and he's made it clear that the talks will happen this july before pasha leaves the Russia. I'm sticking to watch Greenstein says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sticking to watch Greenstein says. yes. i think everyone knew the story about him already signing was false. but greenstein never denied that pavel had made his mind up in the mlive article. just said that they have talked and will talk again in the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted May 24, 2013 In other words, nothing new here. Datsyuk may go home or he may stay here. Same as we have all talked about-at length for months now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number19 159 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Probably the best thing about this surprising playoff run is it gives Dats more incentive to stay. All of a sudden we're looking like a team with a bright future that can still seriously contend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
