40Dangles Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Interesting. Would be a terrific add for us if he can still play and frees up Sutter to be Traded. Imagine our PP and how he’d help Petey push even further? https://www.tsn.ca/agent-datsyuk-could-return-to-nhl-1.1246026?tsn-amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Man would I love Datstyuk as a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd assume he'd go back to Detroit and I hope he does. None of this Brodeur in a blues jersey nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type R Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Errr.. No thanks.. Nope, this does not help the team whatsoever. We have a Datsyuk in Petey.. Correction, we have a Petey. How is Kovalchuk working out for LA? Over the hill slow players are not suited for the NHL. The man has tremendous skill, but he is slow by todays standard, and he would take a roster spot from someone else. And how much of the year would he spend injured? Hire him as a skills coach, and he can help the entire team that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Would expect any return would be to a contender, wanting a last kick at the can. If it's Detroit, then apparently not and just to play NHL hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 lol, he's 40, and a C But it would've been intriguing watching him and Pettersson have some fun with the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 he must have not got the memo yet that Chiarelli got fired. That Koskinen contract must have rippled through the KHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glug Datt Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 17/18 Canucks? in a heartbeat.. 19/20 Canucks? not a chance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where'd Luongo? Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 No thanks. He's 10 years past his prime, getting slower every year and not even a ppg in the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 No interest in having him here at 40 years old. Would rather a fresh duo of the Sedins coming out of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Lu1ngo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don’t think he fits the tempo of the Canucks style. sure fire hall of famer and I guess it would really depend on what he is going to expect for a contract as to how many teams would be interested at this point.

Baer. Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 9 goals in the KHL in 30 something games. He would have about as much impact as Jagr did for the Flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd rather be just stays retired and leaves his legacy intact. We already have the next Datsyuk in EP40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hire him to help work with Goldie's two-way game. For all the flack he gets Goldie is talented but just needs to stay committed. Pasha was elite at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Probably his agent trying to gain leverage in contract negotiations with KHL teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City-in-state-of-emergency Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Maybe he meant returning to get some Little Ceasers Pizza but the NHL has far progressed then his aging body could handle. Jagr puck control and strength couldn't save his NHL career at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
