Members MrJoshua Posted September 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 7, 2005 Red Wings' Datsyuk signs with Russian team DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk has signed with Russian Super League team Avangard Omsk, but it was unclear whether the deal contained an "out clause" that might allow him to remain with his NHL team. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said Datsyuk's agent, Gary Greenstin, told him Monday of the signing with the Russian team. Holland said he was awaiting details of the contract. "Everything depends on the out clause," Holland said. Holland said he spent much of the weekend talking and negotiating with Greenstin. There was no immediate word of what Datsyuk, a 27-year-old restricted free agent, would get from the Russian team. Detroit has offered Datsyuk about $3 million to $4 million, the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News said. "When you lose a guy like Pavel, you're losing a guy you're counting on for a lot of offense," Holland said. Detroit is $7 million under its $39 million salary cap with four roster spots open. During the NHL lockout last season, Datsyuk played for Moscow Dynamo, scoring 23 goals in 57 regular-season and playoff games. He had 42 goals and 77 assists during the past two regular seasons with the Red Wings. The Red Wings open training camp Sept. 11 in Traverse City.

Members MrJoshua Posted September 7, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 7, 2005 Nashville's looking strong, too. Rumor has it Datsyuk's Russian contract doesn't have an "out" clause, so he's very possibly in Russia for the duration of the season. Sucks to be a Red Wings fan...

Members zachoff Posted September 7, 2005 Members Share Posted September 7, 2005 It sucked to be a Red Wings fan before Datzyuk went to Russia! Scott Stevens & Vincent Damphousse retired today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
