Datsyuk, who has talked about returning to Russia and perhaps playing in the Kontinental Hockey League for the past few seasons, has a 13-year-old daughter in Russia.
"I don't want to like really share factors, it's many factors, good things, bad things," Datsyuk said. "I don't want to get involved, especially when many people, everybody has their own decision, own opinion. ... I want to just more figure out [since] it's my decision, not hear from people what their thoughts [are about] everything."
Detroit general manager Ken Holland is unsure if Datsyuk will return next season.
"I hope he'll be back, but it would pretty naive for me to sit here and expect things to be the way they were year after year and think that [Datsyuk] was coming back," Holland said.
The Red Wings general manager said he would talk to Datsyuk in June and expects his decision then.
If Datsyuk doesn't return, the Red Wings will have his $7.5 million salary-cap charge as dead money unless they trade his rights.
"If he does not return, certainly, you'd like to have his cap space," Holland said. "But what's the price if you trade it? Is it worth prospects and draft pick for cap space for one year ? It doesn't make sense."
