DETROIT -- Pavel Datsyuk says he needs more time to make a final decision but the Red Wings aren't counting on him for next season.
"It's not enough time now and I don't want to rush," Datsyuk said after the Wings took their team photo. "It's a really tough decision for me and I need more time. When I go back and play world champion, I think about more. Probably after world champion, early in June, I meet again with Ken Holland and make a final decision probably."
Datsyuk will play for Team Russia in the International Ice Hockey Federation Men's World Championship, which is being held in Moscot and St.
