Datsyuk's contract was zero actual dollars because he retired from the NHL -- it was pure cap. Vitali's was LTIR and wasn't insured, so it was real dollars.
It wasn't a great trade valuewise, but they really wanted Chychrun, and supposedly were close to taking him at seven (Keller) so were looking to move up when he slid outside 10. In hindsight, they had their eye on the right guy, so good trade. But the value still seems dodgy in a vacuum.
