BREAKING: Red Wings Release Datsyuk 
Posted on January 7, 2014 at 03:06 PM.
Citing issues in contract negotiation, the Red Wings felt "forced" to release the star forward to free agency. Datsyuk sought a one year deal of approximately $9.5 million in value.

Simply put, the Red Wings felt uncomfortable allotting half of their remaining cap space for re-signing players to Datsyuk, despite his superior skill. Instead, they opted to re-up Derick Brassard, Brandon Sutter, Dennis Seidenberg, T.J. Brodie, and Hal Gill. The remaining is to be used for Pavel Datsyuk's "replacement", even though his replacement would never be able to fill his shoes.

That replacement could come either through free agency, or the trade market. Players in Detroit likely on their way out, because of their trade value are Jan Mursak and Gustav Nyquist. There is much more to come in these unfortunate, but interesting developments out of Detroit.
