Pavel Datsyuk's agent says the veteran forward passed on cashing in a signing bonus that would have made him $2 million richer.

Dan Milstein told reporters Saturday that Datsyuk made $15 million over the first two years of his most recent contract, and didn't take the bonus he was due in February, according to NHL.com's Nick Cotsonika.

Datsyuk signed a three-year extension with the Red Wings in June 2013, at an annual cap hit of $7.5 million.

He has one year remaining on that deal, and because he inked the extension after turning 35, the final year will count against the cap for whichever team takes on the contract.

Datsyuk will address his future Saturday at a noon news conference in Detroit.
