If not for tryamkin, then someone else. Our offense is set, we are scoring at a great pace. Our defense however is still soft. It will get exposed in the playoffs when the intensity goes way up. Only room for one small guy on the back end and thats Hughes. A major benefit of the Canucks making playoffs is seeing how players perform in a much more demanding workplace. The regular season is not playoff hockey. Different game all together. Stecher is a character player and I give him cred for his approach to the game. That said I do see him being moved. I simply question how well he will fair in game in game out heavy play. If his ppg were higher I might think differently. Is there another option with more size that can deliver what he does? I have to think yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you assume that the size/space on the "back end" is constant, there would be an equal amount of room for guys irrespective of size. Now, if you tried to cram a bunch of big guys and then a bunch of small guys into that constant space, which group of guys could you find more of at the end of the cramming? Bingo. There is always "more room" for small guys as they are smaller. It works in any unit - check it out: 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think yes. Stecher kind of reminds me of Mike Weaver. A smart, confident but smaller guy that does his best to play a big man's game. That a few more inches taller and an extra 20 pounds, and he would be a legitimate top-4 on any team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have the massive ad revenue of the networks so they pay their writers by having a subscription model. How dare those writers expect to be paid for their work.

If they were that good they'd be more popular and have more traffic. More traffic=more ads. More ads=more revenue. More revenue=no paywall. Kind of like if I started 73Ps sports blog.

Hairy Kneel Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Looks like Avto's goalie Jakub Kovar is out long term? Sidsidisme? They don't have very good back ups so looks like early elimination if they do make the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung1 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 17 hours ago, qwijibo said: There’s an interesting article on the Athletic about Tryamkin’s potential return. After reading it I get the impression that there’s a lot of red flags around this player. It’ll be interesting to see how he does if/when he comes back I read that article. Definitely a couple red flags. For those who don't subscribe, basically whats playing out in Russia is the same thing that played out when he came to Van. He's unhappy with his ice time and usage and that's the main factor in wanting a return to the NHL. Not sure how he thinks he's going to get better ice time in a superior league, but that's literally what his agent said in the article. And for what it's worth, The Athletic puts out good content. Their subscriber model allows them to tailor content to the reader, rather than conforming to the will of their sponsors. It's far less click-baity and far more insightful imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree is an upgrade on our current bottom pair. I could see him getting a regular shift 5 on 5, and getting lots of PK time too. 16 to 18 minutes (hard minutes too) per game. How much is that worth in a contract though? 2.5 million x 3 years? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so tough to say. I dont know about you but I haven't seen him play since he's left, and my suspicion is that most of the people speculating about where he might fit/ who he might displace/ how much he'll be paid haven't either.

The math has been done and ad revenue from articles are not nearly enough to cover wages for writers. Hence why click bait has become so popular.
