Kinda like a Chara regarding longevity, I can’t see him putting up the numbers but who cares we have other D for that.. He plays both sides, and is impressive on the PK. typically likes playing right side. but I imagine his numbers would rise with Hughes.

Have to say I’d be pretty excited to see him in a Nucks jersey again. Got a little annoyed with people always pencilling him into their future line-ups when the guys been gone for what seems like forever. I guess I kinda lost the idea of him actually even coming back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 5 hours ago, HockeyHarry said: ESPN nhl deal means good times ahead. Canucks will have money for players. Not for the foreseeable future. The cap is going to stay flat for a while. Players have to reimburse their share of the losses. The more optimistic interpretation of Bettman’s presser reporting the deal is flat for at least another 4 years. The more conservative interpretation could well be the length of the CBA which is 6 if not 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 No one knows what the big guy will become. He is not a goon who will come and fight everyone. He is such an intriguing package of size , mobility and skill. He is intimidating and must be taken seriously by opponents or he will hurt them. I think a lot of his success will come down to chemistry and coaching. It would be a mistake to not give him a shot. The risk reward is too high. Let's face it , our defense is in transition and dropping a ton of cash on Edler is not wise anymore. If they don't sign him he will go somewhere else and he has a good chance of being successful . They should use some of the Edler money and get him signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to put this in a different, more honest way, he planned to keep his word and honour his contract, and he expected the Canucks to do the same. It sounds to me that the words honourable and honest are not words that you can really relate to. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he had a European assignment clause, much like Pettersson, and Höglander (and many other european players), saying if they aren't on the main roster, they will get assigned to their local league (SHL, Extraliga, KHL, etc...) 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin was given an assignment clause (which is fairly standard practice with players from elite European leagues), and he expected it would be honoured. The Canucks started trying to pressure him to waive his clause and accept a demotion, and he refused, as was his right. I do think there was some naivety on Tryamkin’s part, and certainly a lack of understanding the expectations of NHL players (especially when it came to offseason fitness/conditioning, and the differences between NHL and KHL training camps), but that’s again more of a failure of the people around him, including his agent and the Canucks staff. And there was a language issue and some cultural differences, which again fall back on the team and Tryamkin’s representatives, and could (and should) have been handled much better. It continues to surprise me how a certain segment of fans has very strong feelings about Tryamkin and blames him entirely for everything that went wrong. 3 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to Tryamkin's return. Those people who vilify him for how things played out never fully examined the entire situation at all. What do I refer to them as? 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 I don't get why so many so called fans are trolling a free asset. 3rd rounder surprised us his rookie season, he didn't want to sit or get sent down especially when he was watching that little munchkin phillip larsen crapping the bed. I used to hate the OJ pick so I avoided his page all together. Now after his hit on Tchuk he's really grown on me. I'm glad I didn't troll his page. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the crap you are spouting here, I am guessing that anybody who is foolish enough to enter into a contract with you, expecting you to keep your word, is doomed to be disappointed. As far as personality issues go, I could be wrong, but from reading your posts it sounds to me like you are projecting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
