I like the idea of buying out his KHL contract and signing him for this season. I hope that it’s an idea that management is at least exploring. It would solve some immediate problems and not hurt our cap situation.

If it’s possible then I’m all for it.  Give his KHL team some decent money in buying out the contract and bring him into the fold on RD.  Timing is perfect and he’s exactly what we need.

It's pretty complex and I can't for the life of me remember exactly how all the rules shake out. Here's my best recollection:

 

IIRC, because Tryamkin is technically considered an RFA, then the December 1st signing deadline applies, as far as whether or not he can join an NHL team in-season. So, I believe he can't simply sign and join the Canucks right after his KHL deal expires.

 

AFAIK, the Canucks can start negotiating a contract with him when this KHL season ends, but they can't actually sign a deal and bring him over for the end of the 2020-21season. They'd have to sign a 2021-22 effective contract. And his rights don't expire until summer 2022, so as far as the 2021-22 season goes, his choices are the Canucks (or whoever holds his rights--if they're traded), or nothing.

 

Interestingly, another wrinkle is that his KHL status actually exempts him from the expansion draft (the Canucks have confirmed this), so at least Seattle can't scoop up his rights.

 

It's basically Vancouver or bust for Nikita (at least until 2022-23), and IIRC the earliest he can actually play for the Canucks is the 2021-22 season.

 

(If others have the straight goods on all this, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just going off the top of my head here and I'm not exactly 100% sure I'm correct.)

 

So only way to join the Canucks is if his agent negotiated an out clause in Tryamkin's KHL contract? I doubt he would, all previous indications point towards him probably wanting to finish the season with his team, but just curious?

 

Sorry if it's been already addressed in the thread.

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.

True. But also

It’s more about eligibility. RFAs that don’t sign a new NHL SPC (standard player contract) before December 1st are not eligible to play in the NHL that season.

 

Of course, with COVID-19, that December 1st deadline will likely be pushed back a couple months, since the season won’t even be started yet in early December. I haven’t heard anything about what the new date might be. But I suspect Tryamkin won’t be finished his KHL season in time, regardless. 
 

So he can sign after his 2020-21 KHL season finishes. But he probably won’t be eligible to play in the NHL until the 2021-22 season.

 

EDIT: I suppose with an out clause he could potentially leave his KHL team mid season, before the RFA signing deadline, and sign an new contract with Vancouver and join the team. That’s probably what you were asking, lol. Sorry, I’m tired and missed that. So yeah, that could work, if he had an out clause and negotiated a 2020-21 NHL SPC before the deadline.

Sid,.  The KHL has an out clause for him, I just hope his agent specified this possible scenario to his KHL Club..

I copied and pasted this from the KHL Regulations, and from my earlier post here.

it is worth the read.

lets also understand that if the NHL timetable for a season has changed, rightfully so should some of its deadlines regarding players entering the NHL from other leagues.

 

Article 32. Early termination of the Standard KHL Hockey Player’s Contract at the Hockey Player’s initiative
1. In accordance with Part 2, Article 348.12 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, in case of early termination of the Contract at the Hockey Player’s initiative (on his own volition), the Hock- ey Player shall submit a written application to the Club informing it of its will to terminate the Contract within the term stipulated as of the date of such application submission by the FHR norms.
The Hockey Player shall submit the above-mentioned application also to the KHL CIB.
During this term, the Club is not entitled to execute any exchange contracts in relation to the above-mentioned Hockey Player.

He can buy out his own contract with his own money.

The most his buy out would cost is 2/3rds of his money owed on his contract.

His contract has been reported as 900,000. Usd.

So at the beginning of his season it would have cost him the most at 600k.

The buy out is probably around 400k right now.

The Canuck franchise can have nothing to do with it.. legally, or otherwise. That would be tampering.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn’t really clear there. You’re right that every KHL contract has a form of “out clause” by virtue of the termination agreement, where the player pays 2/3 of remaining salary (or 1/3 for older guys), to break their deals.

 

But AFAIK, the KHL also allows for “out clauses” to be written into contracts, with a negotiated fee, or in some cases, no fee at all, required for the KHL player to break their deal and leave for the NHL.

 

I’m not 100% on whether or not this is still the case. The KHL has, like the NHL, agreements and regulations that change and get renegotiated, so I’m not sure how they currently operate around player specific “out clauses” written into contracts.

 

You can read about one here from a few years ago:

https://www.stltoday.com/sports/hockey/professional/sobotka-can-t-get-out-of-khl-contract/article_b6c2ec14-cb80-5f1b-ad44-5e549afe38f7.html
 

Kinda shady situations where Sobotka has his deal renegotiated and he signed it without realizing his out clause (which was included in the first version) had been removed, without his knowledge.

 

I believe Sobotka fired his agent shortly after this happened.

 

So a player can have an out clause written into his deal that allows him to bypass the standard termination agreement and fees, and simply just bolt when he wants to go back to the NHL, without being on the hook for any money.

 

I don’t think Tryamkin has this type of out clause, however.

 

But he certainly has the right to pursue termination, under the KHL agreement you cited. I’m just not sure he’d be willing to shell out the money for that.

 

And I’m not sure the NHL club is allowed to pay it for him. They were allowed to do that stuff in the good old days, but I think now, it might be considered circumvention for an NHL team to cover the termination fees for a KHL player they plan to sign. It’d be kind of like giving the player extra money off the books.

 

EDIT: The last paragraph above is indeed the case. NHL teams can’t help out with termination fees. It is circumvention. The article I linked makes this clear near the end.

Certainly that 400K would be affordable, if Tryamkin were leaving the KHL to sign a $2-3M contract with the Canucks. He’d still make more money for the year, even paying that fee out of his own pocket. It will be interesting to see what he does (and what the Canucks do), but it’s conceivable that he could be signed for opening day of the Canucks’ 2020-21 season. He’d just need to come up with that ~400K termination fee, which he’d make back (and more) fairly quickly. It would appear to be in his financial interest to do this, if the Canucks decide to bring him back.

 

Still, I’m not sure if he’ll do it or not. I have a feeling he might just finish out the deal, even if it doesn’t make the most sense, financially speaking. Tryamkin seems to be a guy who believes in honouring his commitments, and I could see him completing the full KHL season, before making his next move.

Agree on that and there's also the fact that if he terminates in KHL and join NHL for camp and a season start 1/1 2021 he's in for a VERY long season all in all, not sure that's a good approach. Not sure what the Canucks' take is either, maybe they've already written him off until 21/22.

Why would it be tampering? The NHL doesn't have any agreements with the KHL.

Probably would, but it’s not tampering.

 

how do you think player acquisitions happen in La Liga where there are exit clauses that are mandatory and the player has to pay it?

Tram and his agent is just going to wait until the Canucks rights expire. 

Then if he's not in a KHL contract he will sign with another NHL team.

Time to move on. Stop clinging onto false hope he's coming back. 

 

 

 

Almost 30 mins of ice today,  Peters is bringing the best out of him..    and I think Datsyk could easily fit in Tryamkins Duffle bag.
