Nope. His contract expired,. Tryamkin decided to return home,. Benning offered a 2 x 2 - 2.5 per before he left.

This from another thread, covers shifts played away on the larger ice surface at Sibir last month.

I don’t think anybody is thinking of him as a “saviour”.. I think he will be as exciting to watch as Hughes, but in his own dynamic way. We have not had a D man with this type of Physically prowess and skating ability since Jovonovski . Tryamkin is a true top end shut down D man.
-
Better ice time for all prospects when they’re spread out through the world and skating on the same ice.. The game grows as well, better for all. Perhaps loosen the waiver rights for a good flow of prospects to show in the Bigs as part of their development.

Tryamkins game is better suited for the NHL size rink.. although his Team, and 11 others in the KHL, renovated down to smaller ice surfaces this season, the Opposing team in that vid “Sibir“ .. plays on the bigger KHLstandard size rink. More changes are on the way for the KHL next season, including open dialogue with the NHL this season to have more fluidity and agreements between the 2 leagues. Even playing on the larger rink Tryamkin could keep a physical aspect to his game, which is not easy to do unless you are responsive and quick. Its one of the reasons the KHL is making adjustments, more physicality and speed is needed for fans to enjoy, and the league to prosper. Welcome the “Tyrminator”..

I saw that too this season Hairy.. if he fully buys into the concept of wanting to be legendary, disciplined in eating , sleeping, exercising and practicing to be the best that he can, then he will easily become that.

Theo, a quick , interesting read with what has been going on in the KHL, and changes to come.. perhaps one day soon we might be able to see a prospect like Podolzkin or Tryamkin loaned and travel to the NHL as part of their development, similar to how we use the AHL. Andy Potts KHL press office exclusive for khl.ru On December 11, KHL President Dmitry Chernyshenko had his annual meeting with the directors of the KHL’s clubs. During the discussions, various amendments to the KHL’s regulations were reviewed. The most significant changes concern the implementation of a hard salary cap, which will be introduced next season. Here’s a run-down of how the new rules affecting players’ salaries will operate. How it works now In the 2019-20 season, clubs are operating under a ‘soft’ cap. The total permitted playing budget is 800 million rubles and any club exceeding that limit is obliged to pay 30% of that excess in the KHL Stabilization fund. Next season The salaries of all players listed as part of the roster of the KHL team – including those sent to any farm club in the VHL – will be included in the cap calculations. This applies even to players who do not play in a single game. The types of income included in the salary cap are as follows: - Salary; - Individual bonuses worth more than 20% of the player’s salary; - Team bonuses worth more than 20% of the combined team wage bill; - Other material benefits for players and their immediate families, including travel, accommodation, education services etc. The full list is available in Art.51 of KHL Legal Regulations. Not included in the salary cap: - Individual bonuses worth less than 20% of the player’s salary; - Team bonuses worth less than 20% of the combined wage bill; - Prizes for teams finishing in the top four positions after the playoffs; - Prizes for the top three players in the League; - Salaries of players on two-way contracts with the Junior Hockey League, or playing for the KHL team while aged 21 or under; - Salaries of any player who listed as injured with an expected return date no earlier than May 1; - Sports equipment, meals for players. Enforcing the cap There are two key mechanisms to enforce the salary cap in the KHL: - When applying to compete in the upcoming KHL season, any teams exceeding the cap must redraw their budget to come under the limit; - Teams overspending during the course of the season will be prevented from signing new players until the playing budget is back under the salary cap. Salary floor In September, the KHL Board of Directors agreed to implement a salary floor starting from the 2020-21 season. This will form part of the requirements for all teams in the league and will be reviewed each year when approving the competitors for the upcoming campaign. Each team will have to demonstrate a forecast budget that includes a minimum level of funding to pay its players. It will also need to provide proof of funds from the club’s sponsors or owners. Next season, the minimum will be 35% of the salary cap, i.e. 315 million rubles. The level will increase step-by-step until 2023-24, when it will be 55% of the cap (495 million rubles). The floor that will be 270 million rubles includes players’ basic salaries, individual bonuses and team bonuses. The league will adopt a ‘three strikes’ policy to deal with breaches of the rule: - First offense – a fine of 50% of the difference between the official ‘floor’ and the club’s actual expenditure; - Second offense – a fine equivalent to 100% of the difference between the official ‘floor’ and the club’s actual expenditure; - Third offense – expulsion of the club from the KHL. Also on the agenda The meeting also dealt with several other issues ranging from the size of the ice in KHL games to a review of the smart puck technology deployed for the first time this season: KHL-NHL Memorandum A revised memorandum of understanding between the NHL and the KHL provides more detailed rules on the mutual enforcement of arbitration arrangements between the two leagues. Rink sizes This season, teams in the KHL are using three different sizes of ice in their arenas. Following a poll of all 24 clubs, it became clear than an absolute majority (16 out of 24) favors a uniform playing surface of 60x28m. In response the league has decided that all teams should move to a smaller rink size by the start of the 2021-22 season allowing playing both 60x28 and 60x26 surfaces. Before the start of next season, five teams (Jokerit, Lokomotiv, Salavat Yulaev, Traktor, Torpedo) will reduce the width of their rinks from 30m to 28m. Dinamo Riga and Kunlun Red Star will follow suit before the start of the 2021-22 season. Next season, 22 out of the 24 clubs in the KHL will play on a allowable size of ice pad. Medicine and anti-doping The KHL reiterates is zero tolerance stance on doping in sport. As in previous seasons, there is a memorandum of direct cooperation between the KHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation for the 2019-20 season. From September to November 2019, 112 doping tests were conducted jointly with the IIHF. A total of 440 tests are planned for the current season. The KHL is constantly enforcing stricter requirements for the anti-doping awareness of medical staff and the players themselves. The league implements an anti-doping program developed jointly with RUSADA. Every player in the KHL, Junior Hockey League and Women’s Hockey is obliged to complete an online testing program. Without that certificate, they are not permitted to compete in the championship. Smart pucks and big data This season saw the launch of two ambitious projects designed to bring fans even closer to their favorite teams and to the league. The ‘smart pucks’ rolled out from the start of the season are part of a world-leading set-up which delivers the highest level of data tracking for players and pucks in every KHL game. This sports telematics system offers a wealth of new statistical data, to the benefit of clubs and fans alike. The league is in regular discussion with the coaching teams at all clubs, explaining what the system can offer and getting feedback. The telematics are gradually forming a part of the day-to-day life of every club in the league and as we work together to refine it, the system will become even more informative. Fans also benefit from the opportunity to access smart stats, generated in real time. The second project is more directly linked to fan experience. In March of this year the KHL signed a contract with IT company SAP. The data specialist will use its technologies to establish a detailed database of all interactions between fans, the KHL and individual clubs. A pilot project is already underway, involving Ak Bars, Metallurg and Spartak, and has compiled more than 867,000 individual fan profiles based on over 4.5 million transactions. The long-term aim is to create a single database that records the full history of each fan’s interaction with the KHL. This information can then be used to enable the league and its clubs to communicate directly with each individual supporter, tailoring the message to their individual needs.

Thank you Fred! I read something a year ago that it costs the avg. Fan approximately 2 weeks wage or more to see a game live.. i will look further into that as it is all relevant.. if I remember, the soft cap implemented this year converts to roughly 13m usd per team. .. the KHL is also looking at creating a good working relationship with the NHL, imagine the KHL teams with NHL prospects on their roster being able to appear in NHL games as part of their development?! The AHL is only so big, and not the Center of the Universe for Prospect hockey. Below is the article I referred to earlier,. It is an easy read and refreshing to hear for the KHL..

The KHL Is restructuring, for the past 2 seasons they have been dropping teams that are financially unstabble . The team you are referring to would not have made the requirements to stay in the KHL next season. The KHL is also implementing a salary cap for teams and changes needs for the game to be played o the N/A size ice rink for the 20/21 season. i beleive 12 teams made that adjustment last season. sorry my phone would not copy/ paste the link. bit if you google “KHL cap implemented” , it should show up as an article from mid December. i do agree , this is a hardship for everyone, everywhere. ... Let’s hope a time like this that is affecting the entire World ,. Brings us all closer together for generations to come. A War - less world , managing the Earth, and how we survive on it.

Hughes absorbs the work that Tanev can not do.. Hughes creates the Time and space for Tanev to survive. Your top 2 or to D men should be able to pair with almost anybody. Thats why using Tanev as our #1 or #2 D man has not transpired to a full season of hockey for him. He is a pairing D man, not a 1-2.. but again , his injury history does not warrant a new contract here. I really wanted us to trade him.. in hindsight now with the way this season looks like it will be Canceled.. Time to move forward.. lots of grit and finesse on the way. perhaps another addition . i would love to see Risto here with Myers and Tryamkin.. that’s some rock and roll on each pairing.
-
Do you have a source for that other than the latest province clip/ interview Pete?
-
Your kidding ?! honestly, apart from the usual disillusioned, drunk trolls on here.. there are more pragmatic discussions based on evidence, easily attained by video, and witness, on CDC. These journalists in Vancouver are mostly pocket jockeys patting each other on the back at each other’s barbecue night. There is a young man on Twitter that goes by Daniel Gee.. he spends hours cutting and editing highlights of our top prospects as soon as they’re signed until they make the NHL. Gee should do podcasts and start to kick these old schmucks out of they’re high school jock straps they keep sniffing. Daniel Gee .. a great source of info on prospects.. and I would be happy to see him join us here.
-
Boeser. For Risto and a 1 st ? Virtannen is still younger and progressing.. Boeser is going to cost us as much as Toffoli.. and personally I like Toffolis game over Boeser.
-
Risto for Demko. I think that starts a conversation to add or subtract from.
-
Sorry Nate, To me Tanev injury history outweighs his productivity.. it is too predictable.. and to keep him for the 4-6 mil he will be looking for will just not hold water for our books. i agree with @Kobayashi Maru, I think we target Ristolianen, experience, and his young curve is still rising, I think he is a player who would become the player he was predicted to be in the Canucks environment. Buffalo is a mess... With Demko not being able to be protected next season in the extortion draft.. watch for a move.
-
Edler and Myers have and do work well together. Hughes would even use Tryamkin offensively if Nik sees the opportunity.. and he does read those. I think Tryamkin would compliment Hughes’s game immensely. I do like the idea of seeing Rafferty up, theoretically, he would be the only Rookie, Benn would allow him some offensive prowess. That’s size and skill on every line. Fantenburg as 7th or Stetcher? both have played strong for us.. knowing that Joulevi, Rathbone and Briesbouis will be knocking at the door.
-
I do not think that there will be anything void in a relationship between Green, a communicator, and Tryamkin wanting to prove himself with the RIGHT guidance.. Nor do I think any freebies will be nessessary. i beleive Tryamkin will prove himself again from the get go, like he did the last time.. the next bit fun part is watching what this player brings, rise to the curve of his full potential. Thanks for the read C4Nazzy.. nice to know there’s ears on the tracks for the train that’s on its way
-
... and who needs a “goal” song ? Every time Tryamkin hops over the boards to line up after a stoppage, Play this beauty ..
-
Peca was a 1ppg avg. with our farm, and a .33 ppg player with the Canucks that season. I would have put Peca, fresh legs and tenacious demeanour in without hesitation.. I was always bewildered by Ronning decision to play, or the Coaches, to let a forward, primarily known for his shot or pass, play with a wrist and hand that was badly injured. Peca would have been like putting in a young Stan Smyl .. That series was incredible,. Just like the the refereeing.
-
The only knock I have against Ronning is not pulling himself from that game 7 Stanley Cup final game. He decided to play with a broken hand.. he had (I think) 3 open net chances to bury a puck into an open net and could not shoot. Micheal Peca was our rising star with the club, Peca would have played in Ronning position had Ronning opted out. Ronning had a very good career,. But there are times when Team and Best Chances of winning come before yourself.
-
That was 3 years ago,. This is him leaving. Call him “disgruntled” If you like... But if you watch closely,.. as he leaves, he gives Willie D the finger at the last second.. ..coincidence ? ... or conspiracy?

[Report] Pius Suter waiting to sign with NHL team
SilentSam replied to Ossi Vaananen's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Time to lose the “hazing” and pre-conceived notion that the AHL IS the only path to the NHL. Any body watching the international game at any level can see in competition that the game is strong in every country, and although those leagues are smaller in comparison, the talent is found. Every professional player that makes the NHL has had a different path, and journey.. some never make for many different reasons, somehow, life gets in the way. The same way it does with everyone else.. others still fight through militant countries having no trust in laws or governments to protect themselves and their families. The past is not far from the present. Ever wonder why we did not see Tretchiak play in the NHL? Peter Statsny’s journey to North America is an incredible one.. I used to work with Peters brother, who was grateful for Peter to break through the barriers to arrive in Canada. When our conversations turned to hockey , he spoke of the players he had seen at home who were better than Peter. The ones who never made the journey here because they could not. Peter arrived in Quebec as a 22 yr old and immediately put up 8 consecutive seasons of around 120 pts per year? Im happy to hear that the KHL and NHL will be seriously discussing a better relationship this off season.. agreements will give a more fluid arrangement for players to transpire as the best.. and protect the teams to rightful contracts, with clauses to share rights. Imagine being granted access to Podolzkin for a few games a season, or Tryamkin over the last 3. The AHL is fine, but it can not handle the surge of all players who might be NHL worthy to play in its league, or to get quality ice time to develop and perform. The AHL is not a “hazing” right to the NHL,. nor the Center of the Universe for Development.. it’s an option that works for some, not for others.
