You can also see just looking at him that he’s in much better shape now. Noticeably leaner in his face, and has a more “athletic” overall look to him now (compared to a few years ago when he basically looked like a giant farm boy who was strong as **** but also a little doughy). Think I saw a pic of him on Instagram, young man has definitely thrown some strength into those arms too. ... looking forward, I. Excited again for our entire next season,. Really hope it’s worked out timing wise between the NHL and teams on new datelines for players affiliated with the NHL clubs to be able to join in from overseas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Really hope we can secure him to the team. Having him play on the right is useful but on a PK could throw him and Myers out there together would be intimidating, especially as while both are big guys they are both mobile skaters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was decent while here. Bieksa was on Sportsnet 650 the other day and mentioned Malik as one of his partners that left the team to get more money elsewhere. He was offered a lot more money then the Canucks could/would pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks had to fill their depth with a bunch of random guys....

More physically imposing is an understatement. Tryamkin is probably the only player in NHL history who has been able to rag doll a guy who was 230 pounds. I'd say if he were to play for the Canucks today he would be even stronger than before. He is a bigger and stronger version of his countryman, Nikita Zadorov. That's really the best comparison out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just see Tryamkin leading a rush up the ice with Hughes drafting in behind him. They cross the blue line and Try drops the puck between his legs to Hughes. Hughes fakes left, then right as Try skates to the net setting the screen. Try is so tall that Hughes can still roof the puck shooting between Try's legs! Perfect screen! There will be NO way to defend against these two! 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have Quinn and possibly Rathbone or Rafferty as puck moving, offensively minded D men but the addition of Tryamkin and perhaps a very defensively sound yet physically imposing and truculent D man to add to the mix would IMO vault the Canucks into serious contention next year to play for the cup. That being said how one goes about that and still stay under the cap is the million dollar question. I hope JB finds a way to make it happen but would likely involve moving the likes of Stetcher, Benn and Fantenberg; possibly even Tanev. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to sign a 2021-22 effective contract.... IIRC the earliest he can actually play for the Canucks is the 2021-22 season. This is depressing. However, I could see the December signing deadline change given the NHL probably won’t even start until January. Maybe there will be enough of a delay to allow for his KHL season to end before a new signing deadline hits, allowing Tryamkin to still finish with the Canucks in spring 2021. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deadlines should change Slegr, The NHL teams need to have their vested interests made available to them otherwise watch how the draft changes in the future.. Euro players won’t get a whiffle ball of a chance to go in the top 20. Even the categories of ELC and what level of “agency” a player is eligible to play.. Podz gets his opportunity because he is an ELC.. Tryamkin dosent? The League (NHL) needs to listen to GM’s on this and other topics that have been affected by Covid and the New Season start dates. it has to change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I hear that Tampa may have a difficult time re-signing Sergachev. They have only $5 million in cap space and 15 players under contract for next year. I wonder if Benning could do a re-do of the 2016 draft and trade Juolevi for Sergachev. Tampa would save millions and they could re-sign Cernak with the added cap space. Throw in a draft pick or prospect to close the deal. Imagine Sergachev and Tryamkin playing together with Podkolzin up front. One can dream, but if you dream it is better to dream big... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think Benning and group will sign Tryamkin after his KHL season is over... If it wasn't for Covid they might of signed him for this season.I listened to Tryakins agent talking on sportsnet 650..He basically said at end of July Tryamkin had to sign in KHL they could not wait..Canucks could not offer him a contract at that point due to civid and so much uncertainty ..Both sides were understanding and decided it was best for Tryamkin to play this season in KHL...We will sign him after season..Excited to see him as solid guy on PK and taking regular shift say 14-16 mins . Contract with be interesting? Maybe 1.4 million X 2 yr bonus if he averages more then 17 mins a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the current CBA only allows performance bonuses on ELC contracts and for players aged 35 or older. Tweener bonuses are just in lieu of salary (eg, a $6 million cap hit for the year, but a $4 million bonus and $2 million salary). Eriksson's contract is structured that way. That's what might make him attractive to Ottawa. Melnyk is apparently cash-strapped, and will find it hard to meet the floor, so he gets in Eriksson a cheap salary but a $6 million cap hit for a player that can still contribute in little ways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need an Erickson to get there. The value of Erickson for them would be a reduction in real term cash vs cap hit, not in meeting the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot to throw at RFAs See: https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/ottawa-senators/cap/2020 Eriksson gives them about 1/3 of that for minimal actual cash being spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
