For as long as posters continue to whine about Toffoli being Benning's biggest mistake, others will claim his letting Tryamkin escape is just as egregious Seems weird to focus on Tryamkin when so many, far more egregious mistakes have been made.

And this was during the time, the KHL could pay wages competitive with the NHL (when oil prices were sky high). It's a real risk a player would rather play at home (and if I were them, I'd be inclined to feel the same way). I can only assume that his team stepped up and with our flat cap we couldn't offer much for a player who doesn't even dominate the KHL. It would be interesting to see how Brisebois, Sautner, and Rafferty would do over there. I bet the would in the be top d pairings for a number of KHL teams.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Another ship from the 2014 draft has sailed. Gotta figure any money Benning was offering was less than previously, when Tryamkin went back to Russia. Not at all sure where he'd fit on our depth chart these days. So it's too bad, but I'm still looking forward to a left side of Hughes, Juolevi and Rathbone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he bailed on us the first time, he was a middle-pairing D offered around 3 mil, now he'd struggle to make the bottom pair and probably wasn't offered any more than he'd make in the K. Likely the best thing for all parties was what just happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The guy whined and complained, he never wanted to come back only his agent did. If you are a 6'7 230+ defenseman and whining about being physical, you don't deserve to be in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyM Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 We may never know the full story. Tryamkin is a prima donna or Benning ran out of time trying to sign a free agent again. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Regardless, good riddance to this saga. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted May 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hate to say this. If I was Russian, I'd probably want to play where the money is too. Especially if my wife struggles with English, and it's hard for her to find her career here in North America. Did I hear correctly they also have a baby? (Or is one on the way?) With a topsy turvy world we're in I can see where he'd go for where he feels is safe. As I said before good luck, good health and lots of happiness. I hold no grudge. My ex-gf hated Vancouver (Loves Ontario go figure), so I knew long term it wouldn't work out, because I wanted to be back in BC. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convincing John Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I guarantee Benning gave no thought to this prior to the trade deadline. Let’s be serious here, this decision and negotiation could have been made while he still had the option to trade his rights to a more suitable NHL team. I think Tryamkin is a giant drama Queen who probably had unrealistic demands, but at the same time, this should have been known for quite some time. It always seems like he runs into these sudden surprises completely unprepared. This is what happens when you’re a GM who focuses on the day you woke up to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That makes it clear to me that we didn't want to get involved with him. I will bet you the money the Canucks were offering was way less then the big guy wanted. This is a good sign that old Jimbo is starting to clue in to the importance of managing your cap space. You can't be throwing a guy like Tryamkin 3 to 4 mil with a lengthy term. I would rather keep Hamonic. 1.5 to 2 mil tops for Tryamkin. No more than two years. He can get close to that at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
