Please, do your homework before you post. Zetterberg isn't Wayne Gretzky or Gordie Howe, Zetterberg only elevates people's play to a degree, and most of it can't be seen through statistics such as points. Other players have come and played in Detroit, and they didn't miraculously become super-stars because of Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Similarly, players have not left and miraculously become horrible. Guys like Todd Bertuzzi came in and didn't increase their point totals by 20 points, and guys like Mikael Samuelsson did not decrease their point totals by 20 points, in fact Bertuzzi's technically dropped and Samuelsson's rose.
