Regarding Pavel Datsyuk: his agent Dan Milstein said Datsyuk is flying to Michigan soon and the two will discuss options. Milstein said #RedWings would be the only NHL team Datsyuk would play for.

Per Mickey Redmond on the #RedWings ' telecast: Jimmy Devellano, the Wings' long-time front office exec, has a non-cancerous brain tumor. Surgery is Monday. Wings say they will have more info later. Prayers and all the best to one of the finest men in hockey.

Yes, #RedWings need defensemen...but you can't pass up 2 forwards like Zadina/Veleno, both of whom were projected to go much higher. If they can get D's such as Wilde, McIssac, Jett tomorrow, great draft
