Verkar som att Red Wings har svårigheter att hitta någon lösning på kontraktsfrågan med Zäta och Datsyuk

"Contract talks with Datsyuk and Zetterberg, however, are going nowhere. ``I don't know what it's going to take to sign Datsyuk and Zetterberg,'' Holland said. ``My thoughts and their thoughts aren't close. It's a little bit of a guessing game on how much money we'll have.''


A league source said Datsyuk's agent, Gary Greenstin, is asking for ``way more'' than the $3.8 million a year the Wings are paying Robert Lang. Greenstin said Datsyuk should be paid like one of the top players in the NHL.


But, he's had only one good season (30 goals, 38 assists in 2003-04) and has struggled in the playoffs (no goals in his last 16 games). The Wings aren't going to break the bank to keep him, even if it means letting him play in Russia. Greenstin said Datsyuk has a lucrative offer on the table from Moscow Dynamo.


Negotiations with Zetterberg are proving to be nearly as difficult. A report in a Swedish newspaper indicated Zetterberg is seeking a huge raise ($2.5 million per season) from his salary in 2003-04 ($650,000).

Don't expect Datsyuk or Zetterberg to come to terms any time soon."
