Comedy BRONZE out of Vancouver

[jstewismybastardson]

i could see it playing out this way though if Krueger is Lindens guy

Krueger says he wont leave for just the coaching position ... Aquilini gets involved ... tells Linden to offer the GM position too

... Ralph comes back and says he is going to decline

then Aquilini offers Krueger the Presidency too

Krueger didn't play Sbisa at the World Cup...

Travis Green's out.

Tryamkin going back to the k

The 6-7, 265 pounder did an interview with Russian reporters recently and mentioned he wasn't all that happy about his playing time under head coach Willie Desjardins.

“During the season, I was not happy with some of the matches," he said via a Google translation in The Province.. “Sometimes I just do not understand – why?”

He sounds like a canucks fan

Fucking Russians

Fucking Canucks

fify

Russian reporters said he didn’t much like how that stretch was handled by the Canucks, but any issues seemed to go away when Gudbranson was shut down because of a season-ending surgery, clearing out a spot in the top six for him.

From ab0ut mid-December on, the Canucks had a pretty consistent top six, including Chris Tanev, Alex Edler, Luca Sbisa, Troy Stecher, Ben Hutton and Tryamkin.

They all played more than 40 games from that date on, but Tryamkin was the only one among the six to average fewer than 19 minutes a game. He was playing 16:44.

It wasn’t an issue mentioned often late in the season when people were clamouring for then-head coach Willie Desjardins to “play the kids.” It seems now, this should have been a much, much bigger story.

All of this represents a a stunning blow for the Canucks, who may still lose Sbisa in the expansion draft. Suddenly, the team that kept saying defence was an area of strength has a glaring need for young defencemen.

Guess the only positive here is the Canucks are lucky they haven’t traded Hutton, yet.

Tryamkin was mentioned several times by President Trevor Linden during his post-mortem media conference just last week as someone the team is building around.

He was also said to be a player Desjardins handled well, and one he helped develop which is technically true but unfortunately Desjardins was developing him for the KHL.

I'm ok with losing him for the only reason is I can't stand guys that leave for these reasons. At least wait until a new coach is hired if you are serious about wanting to be in the NHL. Players hold the leverage in this areas and can hold teams until a time like that. But he wanted locked in ice time. I can't stand that. Draft should be interesting.

they still hold his NHL rights ... i agree with the part about wait til they get another coach .. but he should have gotten more playing time down the stretch

I'm also guessing he'll get much more money in Russia.

If the Canucks were on the rise maybe it's worth it to him to tough it out but they're in the lottery and there's a very good chance of them being back there next year. From his standpoint, why bother?

yes to the bold ... he was taking a cut in pay this year to play here ... plus if he has/continues to improve/d, now he might have a shot at the olympic team

Didn't even consider that. Huge incentive too.

I'd look at this from the plus side - if this is another tank year not having him around while still having him play somewhat high-calibre hockey is a bit of a win-win, and these guys who go over there tend to wanna come back at some point and I doubt the Canucks would have any issue with him returning in a year or two just as they're expecting their process to come to fruition.

its all about the money (and maybe the Olympics)

Autocar (or whatever their name is) was 5th worst team in the K standings this season

 

[puckhead]

I'm a Nikita Tryamkin and I'm here to say
Deployment must be handled in a certain way
I can get more ice time and make more cash in the K
And to play in the Olympic tourney anyway.




/ in soviet Russia, pine rides you?
