He comes back because he is a good friend of Shanahan and comes back to win a cup in Toronto and the opportunity to play with Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Thornton and Spezza.

You and I both know that he can still play........he is an incredible player and would be a one man wrecking crew on the powerplay.

He is still playing in the KHL where Leafs have a great relationship with Dan Milstein who is his Russian player agent........This would be a great way for Pavel to end his career on a high note in the hockey world.......Can you image a line of Thornton, Datsyuk and Spezza and then watching the magic man play on the powerplay with Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Thornton and Spezza.......priceless.

Facts..... He left Detroit to retire in Russia playing in front of family... I've followed wings & the media here for decades.. Stop pipedreaming.. Pavel is done with NHL..& as said if he ever did come back.. He'd only play 4 redwings...do some research ..move on..youre welcome

I was under the assumption that he got tired of playing on the Wings whose glory days were over and suspect that he may also not have been a fan of Babcock as well like a lot of players.

Metro Detroit ..yes..i followed wings & media here daily since 1993 ..& it's history.. Pav is done.. He had a situation with his kid..so he left for home.. He didn't leave to spite ..he felt he had to..for his family.. Leafs mean nothing to him..nor other teams.. Only Detroit in nhl.. & he's not coming anyway.. He's staying home in Russia with his family

From Google top headline..nhl.com
Datsyuk said he had been thinking about leaving the NHL for a number of years but found it tough to leave Detroit. In April he said his time in the NHL likely was over. His decision came in part because of a desire to be closer to his 13-year-old daughter, who lives in Russia.
