What might the Canucks moving on from Nikita Tryamkin reveal about their 2020/21 defence plans?

News broke earlier today that defenceman Nikita Tryamkin re-signed with his KHL club Avtomobilist for one more season.

Nikita Tryamkin has signed for 1 more year in KHL.

Agent Todd Diamond : Nikita could not wait any longer, the risk was too high for him, he has not played since February.
