Does he even have a pair on him. It’s a privilege to be drafted into the nhl and you’re blessed with talent to make it there and in the end, you let your wife dictate your life! I would’ve literally said, you want to stick it out with me in thr nhl whilst I earn millions, or you can leave me and go back home and find another husband. if memory serves, his wife is a doctor and doesn't speak english. her career is just as important as his -- he can succeed at his in russia, she can't succeed at hers in canada. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm making an assumption / speculation on all of this and reading between the lines of what I believe is Benning trying to be politically correct. There was no reference to Tryamkin's wife, but in his interview, he seemed to be fully committed to a career in the NHL, and Benning did indicate that Tryamkin's decision is at least partially, family based. My guess is, she wants to stay in Russia, from my standpoint, it's not a knock against her or him, it's him trying to do what's right for his family, which should always come first. I'm usually pretty good at putting the pieces together from what's not directly said, when things are said in a vague way. I really believe that Virtanen is done here, and that if the Police investigation is taking too long to draw to a conclusion, the Canucks won't wait for it, they will just buy him out and move on. Time will tell if I'm right or not, as I could be completely full of @&!T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are waiting to see if the police charge Virtanen so that they could just terminate his contract instead of having to pay him anything further through a buyout. #2. Juolevi will be a full time guy next year, provided he regains the weight and conditioning that he had before Covid #3. Sedins will be at our table at the draft (assuming that there is a open floor draft this summer). #4. He's really hedging his bets on resigning Edler and doesn't want to commit to the idea as they may walk away from him. #5. Podkolzin will be signed before the middle of June #6. Ian Clark will be staying and doesn't want to go anywhere, its just a matter of finalizing whether there will be other changes in the coaching staff. #7. Tryamkin didn't have a wife to keep happy, when he told the Canucks at the draft, that he wanted to be in the NHL and has likely decided to play his whole career in the KHL. #8. NO ONE has asked for a trade, the media is doing what it always does, its making $&!# up to generate clicks and readers. Personally, I still believe in Benning, I believe that the team is heading the right way and that this season was an anomaly and that we will be in much better shape next season. I listened to the interview and at no point did I hear Benning say that Clark will be staying..?.He sounded optimistic, but thats miles from what you quoted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee until it's done. Fans are running around having a conniption, acting like he's already gone. Benning confirmed in the interview that there has been communication and that they are working on it. At least, that's what I heard. Clark is from Vancouver, I'm speculating, but I doubt that he would want to move from his home city, during a Pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. The Vancouver media love to go into full on jackal mode when they smell blood...even when there ain’t much blood to smell. Drance and Patterson, Sekeres and Price have become insufferable since 1040’s demise. Gotta be negative to get those podcast hits I guess. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Glad to hear Clark will be staying moving on from edler would be great I really hope they don’t resign him. podz Oj in the line up next year and hopefully rathbone too. still have zero confidence hes the right guy to put a full team together. But I like what he had to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 These guys on the radio were saying a 5 year deal as if it was close to being done or something. Did I hear that wrong or was it just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 4 hours ago, Maddogy said: J.B. is at the very least an average G.M. The problem then is if you fire him, how certain are you that you can find someone better? We've seem a a lot of teams that go through changes in management and coaching staff and they are still underwhelming. People think that if you fire a G.M., someone better will magically show up. If you quit your job, a better job is just around the corner. If you divorce your spouse, your soul mate is waiting at the altar for you. Yes but at what level of certainty? The risk is, if J.B. is fired they may hire someone that really end up ruining the rebuild and screw up this generation of Vancouver Canucks. Well if you divorce your spouse at least there is this waiting for you around the corner ... like GM envy it quite likely will just end in shame.

Being away for a decade now and not exposed to that. Instead i'm exposed to the "eastern bias" media which over the last three years has really nothing but good things to say about the Canucks. Strange how different markets see other markets so differently then their own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
