There's no confusion on my end.  Detroit had the opportunity to select him and didn't. 

They opted to deal Datsyuk's contract instead.  DET got a really sweet deal on moving it too. Arizona wanted their man and took the contract inspite of the value returning.  They clearly thought that was a good deal though.

 

Not sure why I'm typing this you already know this lol. But for those who don't here ya are!

IIRC, scouts said he had a lot of raw talent, but wasn't particularly elite at anything, as well, his skating needed work. There also was a rumour that he had some off-ice issues (breaking curfew, partying, etc).

Sounds like the Ducks got Kane 2.0 

 

We should avoid getting Kane for cheap tho right? Lol

I guess this was the only offer to move datsyuk. This is a stupid argument. If det thought chychrun was a steal that would fit into there core for the next 15 years are they going to move that pick?  No they aren't. Not even for taking an contract.  Case closed. 

 

 

This is the equivalent of trying to explain the sequence of the alphabet to someone who is skeptical.

do you know of any of the reasons at the time why Getzlaff would have dropped so much?

Someone hacked his Twitter account and released a video of him smoking pot through a gas mask.
