The Canucks will retain Tryamkin's rights until he reaches UFA eligibility, which for him will be summer 2022. You can check out any player's UFA eligibility at the top of their player page, here's Tryamkin's: https://puckpedia.com/player/nikita-tryamkin
Players are eligible for UFA status at 27 if they have not yet reached 7 accrued seasons. With an Aug 30, 1994 birthday, Tryamkin won't be 27 as of June 30 until June 30, 2022. Here is more info on UFA eligibility: https://puckpedia.com/salary-cap/unrestricted-free-agents-ufa
