Nikita Tryamkin is a new man, according to his agent, and wants to return to the Vancouver Canucks next season.
It’s been more than four years since the 6-foot-8 Russian defenceman left Vancouver, opting to return to his hometown team, Yekaterinburg Automobilist of the KHL.
Tryamkin was ready to return last year, and even had conversations with head coach Travis Green, but couldn’t reach a deal with the Canucks given the team’s cap uncertainty, not to mention questions regarding the NHL season as a whole due to the pandemic.
Diamond said he will be speaking to the Canucks in the near future, with the hope of hammering out a deal for his client to return to the NHL.
