Pavel Datsyuk's agent confirms reports of KHL offers, after multiple denials.

After denying any talks were going on, an offer magically appears.

When reports first broke of an offer from the KHL, and more specifically from SKA St. Petersburg, for the services of Pavel Datsyuk his agent Dan Milstein came out to state that his client had not had any conversations with the organization.

Perhaps Milstein chose his words carefully, and it was he who held those conversations on Datsyuk's behalf, or he has changed his tune, because today Milstein confirmed that Datsyuk has in fact received such an offer, and expects to receive more from other KHL teams.

"we expect offers from others, as well," said Milstein as per Helen St. James of the Detroit Free Press. "Pavel will not do anything until first he sits down with Ken Holland."

The fact that Datsyuk's agent is even entertaining these offers would seem to indicate that a decision has already been made, or at the very least, that Datsyuk is leaning heavily towards a future in the KHL.
