Third time this season he has racked up north of 25 minutes. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/123119/nikita-tryamkin According to eliteprospects Nikita wearing the "A" again and is on pace to match his totals in his first year back in the KHL with 25 points and 109 PIMS and subsequently tallied two 11 point seasons afterwards. Nikita growing confidence again and looking like a good player to have in a years time. Why is a 3rd pairing or worse plug getting that much ice time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazurus Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 On 10/13/2020 at 6:28 PM, Setyoureyesontheprize said: That’s not an issue at all then Due to the extenuating circumstances they will change the dates to fit this new NHL schedule and so many RFA’s get an opportunity to sign. For Tryamkin RFA doesn't matter, he is already on the team's reserve roster, a special roster. See at cap friendly, it has to do with KHL players coming back, he is exempt from time. If he bought out his current contract he could sign at any time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 grinding comes in many forms. quick forwards who battle hard, shifting back and forth along the wall, forcing tryamkin (or whoever) to constantly stop and start and change directions while battling the whole time is a total energy drain.

Good thing he speaks softly and carries a big stick. The way he defends with his stick allows him to exert less energy. I also think you’re underestimating the level of play in the KHL. It’s the second toughest league in the world. It’s not like he’s out there for a leisurely skate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 We really need to sign this guy to join us next season!! He could be a solid addition to our D, looks to be getting more ice time and he as the former NHL coach coaching him so that might be a good for his development to hear from a coach who has lots of NA hockey coaching.

I'm just saying, he's playing the equivalent of 25 minutes a night against, at very best (and I'm being generous), an average nhl 4th line. certainly nothing to sneeze at, but troy stecher looks like quinn hughes in the k.

canuckledraggin Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Still amazed that he is about to join the Canucks at the perfect time. I give the man credit. He did it his way and he's about to get paid. Edited October 17, 2020 by canuckledraggin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 To be fair, there are not even that many players in JUNIOR who play 25 minutes a night who don't end up being at the very least NHL contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is different, however the fact he is able to play 25 mins a night on larger ice is also telling in itself. not expecting him to play that much in the NHL but it’s a good sign of his development and a good indication that he is a reliable defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just go back to when he was here and Tanev and then Edler were hurt and he was the PK and shut down defenceman. Shut down McDavid, Benn, Sequin all the top players, while playing with whoever and on the right side, the left side and then left right out. This was a rookie that never played on small ice before and spoke very little english, that language barrier shows that he had a fairly high hockey sense to play with various others. His declining to go down to Utica was no different that Miller refusing to waive his clause in his contract. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen anything suggesting that a Tryamkin return is imminent. Would make a tonne of sense, however. There’s basically a hole right now on the D order that looks tailor made for a player like Nik. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it would be great if Tram was able to negotiate his KHL contract to allow him to jump ship to the NHL. With him on the team, if OJ can avoid injuries the defense looks completely rebuilt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I did read something that 69% of games have been effected by Covid this season in the KHL.. there is still the possibility that their attempt at the 20-21 season may be canceled before February.

And could he come over if the KHL season is canceled? Would be huge for the Canucks if we can get him signed. He'd help the defensive corps, for sure. He would not be a Tanev replacement, but who else we got that would come close to being a defensive defenseman, like the Tanman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
