More like wishful thinking on the part of some truly optimistic fans. As if he would sign for 1.5 mil...
He hasn't proven anything to deserve more than that.

He hasn't done anything period, other than take his football and go home in a sulk. He won't accept a 1.5 mil contract. Hell if he would even I would take a flyer on him. But only for one year...
Re signing Hamonic is going to be substantially more than that this time around.In a world where Travis Hamonics are available for $1.25M the idea of paying Tryamkin anything more than $1M smarts.
If he wants a one-way deal, fine, he can have that. But the cap number must be bargain-basement low.

I couldn't even venture a guess..He was making $4.8M with the Flames last season, and this season was a one year, 'one off' discount..He is looking like a solid addition to play alongside Hughes..So.I 'm not convinced that we're going to get him for 3rd pairing type $.How much would Hamonic cost? As long as it's nothing silly he'd bring some peace of mind to the right side, seems like he's managed to settle in well enough.
If it's too high and Tryamkin was willing to play cheap enough ($1.5M and under) then I'd be tempted to roll the dice with Tryamkin.
Anything under 2m I am fine with honestly
In one year Tree is a UFA. I’m thinking we sign him for at least two, and likely three years, or not at all. I see a fair deal as 1.5 x 3Really - Tryamkin should be $1m or less. He had 1 NHL season several years ago, and there's a big difference between the KHL and the NHL.
But with that said, I think something closer to the $1.5M to $2M range on a 1-year deal is likely where he and the Canucks will land, if an agreement is indeed reached.

Frankly, I think Tryamkin is worth the risk of a three year deal. Even it the guy merely grades out as depth d-man, it's a far better bet than signing the likes of Beagle, Roussel or even Myers to four and five year deals.
If the Canucks want to buy out a couple of years of Tryamkin's potential free agency, they're going to have to buck up for it.
I suppose the safer route is a one year deal, to see what you have. But the risk is that he walks at the end of next season.

And the comparisons to Hamonic aren't really valid. Because of COVID and his desire to play only in Western Canada, he was willing to take a one year, team friendly deal.
I would wait like Button said. Lots could happen on the D front.
For all the size and strength of Tryamkin his numbers in the KHL dont jump off the page like a dominant player. For all we know Eriksson could decide he's had enough after July 1st and then that changes everything.
Give him a show me deal and deal with it after 21/22 concludes. He wants to come back but the landscape has changed and he needs to prove himself and we own his rights.
It's a risk but one i would take. We need a legit top 3/4 not more in between guys. And i want him back just wouldn't be prioritizing it
So, what do you think for Hamonic $2.7M x 3...?Hamonic's salary last season was $4.8M but his cap hit / AAV was $3.8M. If he's only looking at Wpg, Edm or Vcr that will also somewhat suppress his market, too. Over 30, didn't have a good final season in Cgy and although he's been okay since returning from the injury I think the general tendency has been to overrate the market for the defencemen that have been here. People were talking about $3M AAV in UFA for guys like Hutton and Stecher; they couldn't even get $2M.
Tryamkin should be more effective on smaller ice where it's much harder to evade being squished along the boards. Worth gambling on considering the state of our D..
Front-loaded contracts now cannot change in salary by more than 25% in adjacent seasons and the lowest annual compensation has to be at least 60% of the highest year's.
So, what do you think for Hamonic $2.7M x 3...?

No thanks. Hamonic doesn't move the needle for me and he'll want an NTC. He's a good guy to have on the 3rd pairing but you know our head coach is going to give him 2nd pairing minutes.
