Will we still be talking about Nikita Tryamkin in the year 2042?
“The Canucks defensive depth is looking a little shallow for the 2041-42 season after Quinn Hughes retired. One option the team is looking at is bringing 47-year-old Russian defenceman Nikita Tryamkin back into the fold. Although he hasn’t played for the team since 2016-17, the hulking Russian has teased a return at least twice a year in the 25 years since his departure.”
Seriously though, it’s crazy to think that it’s been four seasons since Tryamkin left the marijuana-infested city of Vancouver to return to his hometown KHL team, Yekaterinburg.
