Perhaps but for his wife it was almost certain as at least he had his teammates and such but she had an empty apartment and safety/smell concerns apparently. I believe it’s with his young wife where the Canucks failed. “Happy wife...happy life”. Canucks management should have made certain Tryamkin’s young wife was feeling safe, and happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of moving her hometown and family plus putting a Russian market in front of her home located away from any weed in any direction - not sure what could have happened. Let her grow up a bit (they are both so young) and think about this again and perhaps the big guy will convince her to give it another shot and perhaps the Canucks, in the meantime, can buy up some real estate in a "weed free zone" for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t a game ticket almost as much as a month’s salary for the people in that city? The Canucks really should be able to get him back for next season. One really good thing about our owner is he’s willing to spend money on the team. I don’t know what it would cost, but go get the big guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much dumb when it comes to the weed aspect of Vancouver. He said he couldn't believe how prevalent it was. Not that it had anything to do with his decision to leave the city. This point is yet another from a poorly translated interview that seems to persist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but again that comes down to attitudes. There's clearly a different attitude towards weed there than there is here. For a more liberal country like Sweden I don't think something like that would even phase them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly that was, at best, his attempt to not come out and say "my wife was homesick" so he threw it out there as one thing she may have said once in the elevator or who knows. It is just kinda fun to keep bringing it up given the reputation your city has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just kinda fun to keep bringing it up given the reputation your city has. Possibly for you actually 'get the joke', but this thread is littered with those who take it literally. Yes he left Vancouver cuz weed. It's the dumbest thing that could possibly could have been the actual reason for his departure. Homesick is my best guess. I stated above that we have his rights until 2022. Nobody bothered to respond to that. He stated that money wasn't the reason, because NHL money would have dwarfed his current salary. The kid is going to be a player for Vancouver in a couple of years. We are going to be a lucky team to have a 25 year old monster on our back line.

He left for a myriad of reasons (like any decision) and the one that makes the most sense was his young bride was homesick. It is the one that by far makes the most sense.

The money could easily not be there for Tryamkin even next season. If that’s the case, he’s coming back sooner. If the KHL salary cap goes down he may be a casualty for sure. Of course he may also not be happy that the league is literally fixed to try to ensure that Putin's team wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be selling his wife (or getting her hooked on your weed). I think they'd be happier out of the down town core. They'd probably feel more comfortable somewhere more rural or perhaps north van etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is no stroll down Georgia street but there are areas outside of down town that it's only a moderate annoyance. They aren't cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
