Thanks, tough on the players:unsure:

Yes, pretty sure it keeps them on their toes lol! 

At least it’s the beginning of symmetry between the world of hockey internationally..   to add ,  Tryamkins game suits the smaller ice,  he likes to stay close to opposing players, and his speed, stride, strength and reach make him the perfect shut down D man... just ask Jamie Benn.

He does have a great offensive prowess, great breakout pass,.. and when he gets that 265 lb frame accelerating quickly, nobody gets in front of him.  Looking forward to what may transpire in late Feb- early March between Nik and the Canucks.

Half the year? Something about that doesn't add up. He's averaging 20+ minutes a game this season, if half of those were "3rd pairing" minutes, then the other half would be mega 1st pairing 25-30 minute nights to average it out? He may have had the odd game with lower minutes and even "healthy scratched" but they have a system rotating their dmen to not burn them out over the season.

 

They have 5 dmen this season that pretty much has played every game this season and the others don't seem to have that average TOI that suggests they were top contributors that Tryamkin took over.

 

Since their training camp, Tryamkin has been viewed as one of their leaders and certainly in their leadership group leading training sessions and such. He's worn a letter on his jersey on occasion and even worn the C (and wasn't stripped of it as many like to suggest). None of this would suggest they think little of him on his team or suggest he's an example of poor conditioning.

 

They swapped to NA ice this season and Tryamkin doesn't look to have missed a beat compared to his team. The only fear of him going back to the KHL was the worry that he wouldn't come back, but most signs suggests he will. It's your opinion on what league you think would be better for development and that's fine, but there are several "older" Russian players that have come from the KHL and completely dominate the NHL, for example Panarin. Not saying Tryamkin is at that level, but it just means that it's not like players cannot develop there so it cannot be assumed that Tryamkin hasn't grown as a player and person in his time in the KHL.

I was talking about his rookie season with Vancouver not his KHL career. I am not suggesting that Tryamkin has not matured or that his game not improved. One would think that to be true but that is also in the KHL and the NHL is a different challenge. We won't know if his game will adapt until he comes, if he does. My attitude will be open to his return because he offers a big body with a physicality that the Canucks need.

My bad. Well we all know about the conditioning issues he had when he first came. I think that was more of a reason why he had lower minutes to start. However I would think he has improved in this area based on his play in the KHL, so there's no reason for some posters to keep harping on him about it (but like you said, we will see if/when he arrives).

 

I wish he never left to the KHL, but I'm not as upset about it as some seem to be. Players can develop in the KHL, just like in any league in the world. Some don't make it through the AHL and some fizzle out at the NHL level. I'm not concerned about where he's been developing as it looks like his progress has been decent.

 

Cautiously optimistic is where I would stand, but for me, I feel he should be ready to step in and be impactful. Even if he was a 3rd pairing dman here that can play up his minutes, that's at worst more depth for the team. This was where he left off with us, so I feel he can only go up from there based on his level of play improving during his time in the KHL.

He doesn't really play that physical of a game, but because of his size, he does a whole different level of damage when he does hit someone.

 

Six foot Seven and 265 lbs hitting you at 20 miles an hour, most players in the NHL are going to feel that.

Coming soon to an arena near you:

 

HUGHES - MYERS

STETCHER - TRYAMKIN

BENN - WOO

That is gross lol.

 

Stecher is 25 and most likely already maxed out as a 3rd pairing D. Tryamkin is an unknown.  Woo is probably a few years away.

 

That line up is as big a stretch as the top four suggested in my signature below.....:lol:

Totally agree.

 

But, as the other poster pointed out, you forgot Rathbone. He is doing very well right now.  Juolevi is a wildcard....I am still hopeful. 

 

Edler may still have a couple / few very strong years left too (even though some posters rag on him even though he is a top pairing D and is performing like one).

 

Let us hope JB can pull off some kind of trade for a D man equivalent of what he did with JT Miller.  

 

Now that would be damn exciting lol.

And give up another 1st rounder? I don't know if CDC can handle that.

Just an update..  

Tryamkin has 4 points in his last 4 games.

His Team Avtomobilist, currently out of a playoff spot.

Tryamkin has been an Ironman for his team this season,. I think he is definitely coming into his prime, yet his ceiling is untouched until he gets to the NHL and completes his dream.

 

Seriously, his offence is heating up and his team may miss the playoffs? That's exactly what I want to hear - you aren't just toying with us are you?

Weed!   My apologies I just double checked..

3 points in last 3 games..

perhaps I got it wrong or there was a change on the box score site I visited.

Hey, 3 points in his last 3 games is enough to make me happy, lol.

STL isn't trading their Cup winning Captain and stud #1 Dman.

 

They're trying to win another Cup this season not rebuilding. 

 

 

They'll try to sign him to extension. There's a small chance he leaves as UFA at end of season if another team throws the check book at him but he's not getting traded.
