I collected some scoring chance data from the Olympic games. Same system I've discussed here before. Kind of Fenwick-style system, that takes off free passengers that won't affect for a shot attempt.
Player, Total chances per ice-time Rating - (Goals + Assists + Scoring chances + Created chances + Screened chances = Total) - Ice-time
Team Russia (data from USA, SVK, NOR, FIN games)
C Pavel Datsyuk, 0.455 - (2+4+10+17+2 = 35) - 19:12 minutes average Ice-Time
C Jevgeni Malkin, 0.423 - (0+0+20+14+0 = 34) - 20:16 min
RW Alexander Semin, 0.420 - (0+0+14+10+2 = 26) - 15:30 min
LW Alex Ovechkin, 0.404 - (0+0+22+8+2 = 32) - 19:48 min
RW Alexander Radulov, 0.356 - (2+2+11+5+9 = 29) - 20:42 min
C Artem Anisimov, 0.301 - (0+0+8+9+0 = 17) - 14:16 min
RW Vladimir Tarasenko, 0.275 - (0+1+3+5+0 = 9) - 8:12 min
RW Viktor Tikhonov, 0.228 - (0+1+1+0+0 = 2) - 4:24 min

RW Alexander Popov, 0.193 - (0+0+2+6+2 = 10) - 13:00 min
LW Ilya Kovalchuk, 0.189 - (2+0+9+5+0 = 16) - 21:12 min
C Alexei Tereshenko, 0.150 - (1+0+3+2+0 = 6) - 10:00 min
RW Valeri Nichuskin, 0.121 - (0+0+1+1+1 = 3) - 6:12 min

LhD Alexei Emelin, 0.203 - (0+0+5+6+1 = 12) - 14:48 min
RhD Slava Voynov, 0.152 - (0+0+4+6+1 = 11) - 18:06 min

Just nice figures to see. This system counts only offensive output and nothing else. But Datsyuk's figures are just superb ones compared to others. He has SH time that gives you less offensive ice-time and that lowers that scoring chances/ice-time average. Players who won't play on PK will have an advantage in these ratings against guys who will play on PK. But because Olympics stats site shows only total ice-time per game, I can't rip off the PK time. With NHL stats I would do that as a default.
Still, Datsyuk was a superior player for Russia. He killed penalties, so his rating would be even higher vs. Malkin/Ovechkin etc. without that PK time there.
And he scored actual goals and points. AO/Geno/Semin etc. all had some weird mental problems (maybe home-ice pressure) for scoring. They did have/create chances kind of same rate they do in NHL, but were unavailable to score. Datsyuk wasn't. He scored and was the best player there, 100% condition or not.
This is very promising for Red Wings.
What comes to other Russians, I was very impressed about Alexander Radulov how good he was. Very strong in the corners and in front of the net. Would be a great piano-puller for Datsyuk in NHL. Their chemistry just works.
I was most disappointed for Ilya Kovalchuk's offensive output. Two goals yes, but mostly outside the game without scoring chances. KHL has really ruined this guy.
And Red Wings should sign this 32-year-old Yevgeni Medvedev at next summer. 6'3 great puckmoving defenceman.
***
Jeff Carter is the only Olympic tournament player who has better scoring chances/ice-time rating (0.471) vs. Datsyuk so far in my scoring chance stats.
I'm pretty sure we are just fine after the break. The Magic Man is back.
EDIT:
Other Red Wings:
C Pavel Datsyuk, 0.455 - (2+4+10+17+2 = 35) - 19:12 minutes average Ice-Time
C Henrik Zetterberg, 0.329 - (1+0+2+3+0 = 6) - 18:12 min (still the best Swedish center rating)
W Gustav Nyquist, 0.328 - (0+0+3+5+0 = 8) - 6:06 min
RW Daniel Alfredsson, 0.318 - (1+1+8+6+1 = 17) - 13:24 min
D Niklas Kronwall, 0.102 - (0+2+3+3+0 = 8) - 19:36 min
D Jonathan Ericsson, 0.099 (0+1+4+2+0 = 7) - 17:36 min
Still have to collect that Slovakian data....
Erik Karlsson has same level of rating (0.320) like Zeta, Gus, Alfie group as a highest rating of any defenceman. He is just insane offensive weapon. Karlsson creates 3x more of chances in same time vs. Kronner/Ericsson.
