Pavel Datsyuk's agent says his client hasn't agreed to play for SKA St. Petersburg.
Russian publication Sportfakt reported Friday that the 37-year-old Detroit Red Wings forward agreed to a two-year pre-agreement with the KHL club, which would likely be finalized after the ongoing World Championship.
Dan Milstein, Datsyuk's representative, told Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News that the report is inaccurate, and Datsyuk hasn't spoken to any other teams or members of the media.
Milstein expects Datsyuk and the Red Wings to discuss his future in mid-June, after the veteran returns from the tournament.
Datsyuk has one year left on his NHL contract at a cap hit of $7.5 million, a figure the Red Wings would still be responsible for because that deal was signed after he turned 35.
