It's Spector, so we can probably just ignore this.
While I don't doubt that these were seen as real issues in the early part of the season the Canucks completely brought this on themselves. They overpromised Tryamkin when they convinced him to sign a contract last spring, and they constructed that contract in such a way that they couldn't effectively get the player up to game speed. A team should NEVER sign a NHL rookie player to a deal that guarantees he cannot be assigned to the AHL—that was just dumb.
