pulkkinen out 4-6 months for shoulder surgery. Also saw something about datsyuk wanting to play till 2018, just not in nhl
Datsyuk already signed a contract in Russia.

Can't be more than 4M, I would think.
4 is probably lower bound. DDK is a better defenseman than Kronwall or Ericsson at this point. My guess is they start by saying he's comparable to guys like Leddy and Petry, then work down from there since Detroit wouldn't pay for UFA years.
Personally I'd love to see 5x4.5 before arbitration.
