He would be an average, but big, 3rd pairing D. Not the savior some on here think lol.

IMO he's got the ability/chance to be a decent #4/5. Which could mean he's a 2nd pair guy if he makes it to #4. But yes, he's unlikely the second coming of Chara as some seem to see him as.

Until we have Trym back in a Canucks uni it’s tough to say how high or low his ceiling is at this time. I’m glad to hear Automobilitist is playing on a nhl size rink so his transition should be quicker this time around.

 

it’s not too far away till he’s able to sign. Time flies.

 

i think somewhere I read, it’s up to the KHL team too decide when Tryamkins contract is up and when he can be signed by Canucks. If Automobilitist loses 1st round they still could legally hold on to Trym til all the KHL season and playoffs is officially over.

 

But last time they let Trym sign early after they where outa the playoffs. let’s hope this is again the case.

 

I can’t wait to see him on the Canucks again. I’m a huge fan of his and hope hes super solid Canuck nhler moving forward.

 

 this season he’ll be on the 3rd pairing and Coach Green will decide when that happens. If Canucks are in a close playoff race with no D injuries we may not see Trym play a game. So Fans ready your self for that possibility.

Attrition of vet D in 2 years almost guarantees Tryamkin the opportunity to be a 2nd pairing D or better after 1 more full season in the NHL.  

Injuries will allow him to pair with any top 2 or better pairing in that first season... Im sure Tryamkin will not take those opportunities lightly and make the best of them.

 There is an untapped potential offensively in this Big Man that suits the NHL size rinks once he gets accustomed again to the game here..  Coach Green will help him bring out the best of him.

Looking forward to the last month of the regular season here,. But enjoying everything about our team in the meantime.. and am excited about the probability of seeing Tryamkin return in a playoff push.

Having a 6'8" 260 mobile d man on our third pairing that can play either side is nothing to pooh pooh either.  

 

If he does return and signs a fair deal, it is a free asset almost.  Gives the club the latitude to deal another d man.  

 

Where he would have his biggest impact... pun intended would be in a playoff series.  He is so physically strong that even Ovechkin would keep his head up going into a corner for a puck.  

 

Savior, that's silly, we already have 2.  Hughes and Pettersson.  We need role players and depth.  Trymakin would add to both.  

Exactly. To have a player of his size, who can move, and also use that size, is immeasurable. Adding him to a team that has Beagle, Roussel, Ferland, Virtanen, Horvat, and the like makes the Canucks much harder to play against. From what I've seen of Nikita in the KHL, his game has matured somewhat, which is potentially good news for the Canucks, and bad news for the rest of the league.

I agree with this. My comment was for those that think suddenly Tryamkin would come back and be more than a 3rd pairing D man. I would be happy to get him on the 3rd pairing for your reasons above.

 

He simply is not a 2nd pairing D or higher...that's all.

Yes, no wtf cares as long as he isn't a wasted asset.  

 

His mobility and shot are both good.  If he had the right d partner it could tap some of his potential.  Maybe a 2nd pairing guy down the line if everything goes right.  

 

Personally I don't like to place a hard cap on an unproven players potential for the most part.  Trymakin just needs to get his gigantic self over here at the seasons end.  Make it so JB, make it so.  

I agree.  Not wise to put a limit on his potential before he's had a chance to come back and develop into his prime.  As you say, depending on how things go for him and who he's paired with, he has the raw skills to go a long way!

I don't think agents are the best people to get an unbiased assessment of a player.  I'm sure the Canucks have been watching and evaluating Tryamkin and have a pretty good idea of how successful he can be in the NHL.  Hopefully their assessment will lead to a contract in the coming year.

It is not an assessment, it is just a comment that they have been talking with the Canucks - not something worth lying about.

Anyone remember the last time we had no D injuries late in the season?:lol:

I expect him to be the best Dman on our team within a few weeks after his return.  Surprised no one else does. (Quinn doesn't count)

Some high expectations you have. Let’s just wait and see if he actually signs here before pegging him a better defenceman than Edler or Tanev.

No reason he should not be better than Quin Hughes, one of the best D men in the league....I mean why not right???

While he was here, Benning claimed he had first-pairing potential.

True, very high expectations.  In fact, I think He was pretty much better than the rest when he was a rookie. lol.  Sorry, but that's how I remember it. I was happy when he was on the ice. He made some mistakes but nothing more than the others and certainly way less than our new free agent.

Tryamkin is 25 years old now which is when most players peak. Highly unlikely Tryamkin ever develops into a 1st pairing D. He plays 3rd pairing minutes in a lesser league does he not?

 

Not impossible. Just HIGHLY unlikely lol.

He was no where near as good as Edler and Tanev....that is laughable though :lol:
