Both should go, Aqua can e mail Nik real estate listings to check out in the meantime ... everyone needs a great Uncle I think it would be better to sign him first before showing him the real estate listings. It might make him more difficult/expensive to sign if he realizes that an apartment here costs as much as a mansion in most cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tryamkin sent home after training with his Olympic team. That must piss him off. Hopefully his hatred for Russia's selection process gives him a new appreciation for the NHL. http://fhr.ru/en/main/ofnews/card/?id_4=14503 Defenseman Nikita Tryamkin and forward Maxim Shalunov, who both trained with the team in South Korea as reserve players, have now left the group and gone home. The Russian Ice Hockey Federation thanks them for helping the team in the training process, wishes them luck and will be counting on them for future tournaments!

We missed him badly on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Ice Hockey Federation Not sure why so many people are surprised by this. He was barely an everyday NHL player on a 29th place team. He oozes potential but is several seasons of intense coaching away from being a sure thing in NHL let alone a top 6 certainty. Not sure how he has become so massively talented in some people’s minds since he went back to Russia. I like him as prospect but he is far from the lock great player some here think. He has a ton of potential but that may never be realized without the right coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason that Tryamkin has acquired massive talent over the past 6 months other prospects like Elias P., Gaudette, Dahlen and even Goldobin will automatically become NHL regulars next year. So much talent and so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good prospect but needs a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest mistake the kid could have made was going back to the KHL. If he had stuck in Van this year he would have had lots of opportunity to accelerate his development.

With perhaps Elias Pettersson being the exception, I think Tryamkin would put more bums in seats than any other Canuck property. Top 4/ bottom pairing, he was/ is a ton of fun to watch ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not helped his development, agreed, but he likely saved his marriage. In that regard, kid made the right choice as his career is just that but his marriage is his life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me speculate that it could just be a coach who finds his self entitled attitude a bit unsettling in a team game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
