When Nikita Tryamkin inked a three year deal with Avtomobilist of the KHL in April, it seemed improbable that we’d see him back in a Canucks jersey.
Those slim chances may have been slightly boosted after Sunday when Tryamkin’s agent Mark Gandler spoke to Jason Brough of The Athletic.
Despite having no out clause in the three year deal, this soundbite from Gandler indicates that a mutual termination is possible. While such a possibility remains far-fetched, it opens the door just a crack for a potential return.
The Canucks could certainly use Tryamkin as well, with the 6’7″ defenceman racking up 21 points in 36 games.
