Well I hope that kind of uncertainty will cause the Train to leave the station and choo choo his way back to Vancouver. That would cause some excitement if we manage to get him back next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can come back a bit more mature and committed to the team that would be nice. I guess a lot depends on how our management actually views him now too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russians have a huge pride to play for their country. The Canucks has just finished in the bottom 3 for the 2nd year in a row. With NHL banning players from the Olympics I think it sealed it for Tryamkin. Leave a BAD team that’s not competing for anything but draft pick sabotage for the next couple years. Make the wife happy, be close to family and have a chance at the olympics. I truly feel that in a couple years Tryamkin comes back that’s why I always turn down the idea of trading his rights. Half the Canucks 'B' squad is playing for Team Canada! Politics aside I totally agree with you about Russian pride of country. Go drinking with Russians and they are usually crying in their beers or wanting to fight. They love their country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally like to see both if possible. Would make for a nice 1 -2 punch in the top four. Pair them with mobile partners who can join the rush. Nice first unit PK pairing as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recall his NHL agent on the radio saying the KHL offer was more money than the NHL one. Assuming that was true and accounting for differences in taxes and living costs, His KHL salary probably would have to be in the $1.5-2.5 million range and that is a big ticket for a small club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KHL’s avg attendance last season was 6200. Per game. Avtomobilist’s avg was 4200. pg. I truly think Nik wanted to regroup after a new marriage and exposed to a new country. It sounds like he was moved by the energy an NHL arena can bring.. and wants to be the best he can be if he comes back. It was exciting to watch hockey again with him in a Canucks jersey, I hope to see that again. ps. I read somewhere it costs the avg fan a weeks salary in rubbles to watch a game.

I believe that Yekaterinburg has a new KHL arena in the works, ~12,000 capacity, and scheduled to open in 2020. IIRC it’s part of a large project involving some towers and other buildings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Just to remind everyone that Tryamkin (the mass media selection) will play for the Kharlamov division team on Jan 13-14 in the KHL All-Star games. Each of four KHL divisions is represented by the team with two goalies, four defensemen and five forwards selected by fans, mass media and the KHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt it, the KHL is in rough shape, go back a page or two, I posted a link to a story regarding the KHL’s situation. They cut 4 teams last year, will cut 2 more this season.. Avtomobilist, Nik’s Team, was almost cut for not meeting financial obligations. .. and yes, I don’t think WD did is any favours. I don’t think he took the time to understand Big Nik or was even aware of his game. Edited January 13, 2018 by SilentSam 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has that mindset Jimmy, I watched him in his world Junior showing.. he was busting that move back then. I think Nik has rightfully acknowledged the parts of his game that he needs to work on to make himself better. I can not blame him for wanting extra ice time, cause he realized he needed it to understand the NHL game. I beleive his team is positioned for a playoff run at this moment, the KHL season ends a little shorter in the year than the NHL.. anything can change for him once his season ends. If Nik doesn’t get his final pay check or cash .. or his team doesn’t meet up with their financial obligations to the KHL.. or Nik wants to feel the energy in an NHL arena again.. we get to see him, and I’m buying his Jersey, and a ticket to a game with a black sharpie in my pocket. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
