Pavel Datsyuk spoke to Pavel Lysenkov during the World Championship in Russia and touched on a wide variety of topics.

Datsyuk would not discuss his decision on whether he will play in Russia next season or return to the Detroit Red Wings. Datsyuk said after the season that he will make his decision following the World Championship. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has said he is expecting to hear that Datsyuk won't return to the club.

Datsyuk told Lysenkov that offense was the main issue this season: "Our attack was messed up the whole season. We had to strengthen it. And this problem got in the way of the Stanley Cup."

He endorsed Alexander Radulov, saying he "would strengthen any attack." The Red Wings continue doing their due diligence on Radulov, trying to determine whether to make the free agent an offer.

Datsyuk said he has another eight months to go before fully recovering from surgery last June to repair a ruptured tendon in his ankle.

He also talked about defenseman Alexey Marchenko.
