Datsyuk and Zetterberg long term

[8snake]

Just wanted to check the pulse of the board as to what you guys predict (or prefer) will happen down the road....will Datsyuk and Zetterberg remain together for the forseeable future, or will they eventually go back to centering their own lines? I've always been of the opinion that both players are wonderfully gifted centers, and while I dont mind reuniting them at times (ala Forsberg-Sakic) I'd rather have the 1-2 punch down the middle. If a top 6 winger is signed (be it Bertuzzi or whomever), I'd like to have Pav and Hank seperated.

Depends on the kids. If Filppula, Hudler, Grigorenko, etc... become bonafide top 6 guys and not tweeners like Samuelsson, Franzen, Calder, etc... we should be able to split them up (or have one of the kids center the 2nd...).

I see them staying together long term, with Hank playing most of the center. Flip is the future #2 pivot.
