Pavel Datsyuk won a number of categories in the NHLPA/CBC's recent player poll. 257 players participated in the survey. Datsyuk was selected as the hardest to take the puck from, cleanest player to play against, toughest forward to play against, and most difficult player to play against. Goaltenders also selected Datsyuk as the most difficult player to stop. Datsyuk has never won the Art Ross or Hart Trophies, but clearly he's one of the most respected players by his peers in the NHL.
