He was our pick for Player of the Year in the midseason, and Datsyuk has done nothing to sway our thinking. He has been simply remarkable this season for the Wings and is a likely finalist for the Hart Trophy.
The Wings' superlative center leads everyone on the team in scoring by 25 points entering the final weekend. He has 32 goals and 65 assists for 97 points, which is fourth in the NHL. He had 47 points at the 41-game mark.
Also a defensive wizard, Datsyuk has 89 takeaways and a plus-37 rating, making him a likely finalist for the Selke Trophy as well. And since he has only 22 penalty minutes, he is once again in line for the Lady Byng Trophy, which he's won three straight years.
