Great day to be a Wings fan if he signs an extension!

Good.

Now get him a scoring winger.

Don't read to much into things. Wishful thinking

So would the contract end 3 years from now? Or 3 years after his current contract ends after next season?

Datsyuk's agent is coming to town...

What would you pay?

I'd go $40M/5 yr without thinking about it.

A 3 yr extension would mean he's a Wing for at least 4 more years.

[Nev 1,085]

3 years $18M would be nice

[Guest The Axe]

3 years $18M would be nice

10 years, 30 million!!!

[Nicholonio 9]

10 years, 30 million!!!

No.

[Euro_Twins 4,475]

10 years, 30 million!!!

5 years 10 million!!

[Guest Crymson]

I'd go $40M/5 yr without thinking about it.

There's not the faintest chance that this would transpire, nor would either party desire it.

1000 years, $1 billion!!!

So it probably has to be enough money to make him choose NHL over KHL right? But do you think he takes any less than market value to help Wings help him?

[Kira 451]

If his agent is in town, which he is, then you can bet your last buck it's contract extension/renewal. Greenstin would not be here were it anything else. He'll sign the paperwork and then head home to Russia for the summer.
