DeltaSwede Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't like this pick at all, don't see him ever suiting up for the Canucks. Jack Glover was still on the board.. such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancouverdepression Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 With the 66 overall Canucks select Nikita Tryamkin of the KHL. 6' 7", 230 lbs. D. Bennings new Chara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Was he passed over last year? 19 already. Huge guy. A Russian for the Canucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovi one kenobi Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The canucks finally have a Russian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Our answer to Chara LOL! He did play for Russia in WJC so he is not to be sneezed at. I wonder if he even wants to play for the NHL though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancouverdepression Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 He has 2 years left in the khl, would be 22 enetering the nhl, couple years in the AHL, and at 24 you have a 6' 7" D playing for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missioncanucksfan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Why? This kinda goes against what Benning said about drafting Russians Basically..."If a kid has made an effort to already be here ie:Sherbak, Barbashev, etc...then ya ok, but if its someone still playing in Russia then forget it." Would rather have picked big Alex Vanier or Anton Karlsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO great pick!! I think for sure he wants to play in NA... why else would he be at the draft as player passed over in 2 previous drafts. Already 20 years old with a full KHL season under his belt. Developed defensive prospect with huge size... love it. #inbenningwetrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawkdrummer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 He's 20 years old and has a contract for 2 more years in KHL so we won't see him till he's 22. He is at draft and was interviewed on team 1040 with help from the Canuck's Russian scout as translator. Bure was a favorite player and he's familiar with the Canucks.

JiffyPB Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 1st Russian drafted in 8 years. Man I wonder how our Russian scouts have been feeling all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Stanley Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 sticking with the draft rankings worked out for us well last year, this year we could have had Mckeown and Glover - two d men projected much higher than where we would have picked them, not happy with these niche moves - tryamkin - did we really need to take him in the third? i think ppl over think the whole drafting thing way too much - they think they know something that the ISS doesn't Mckeown and glover would have made this draft a home run on top of demko, mccann, virtanen instead we dip into obscurity - which is what we have done classically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
