So yeah, there will be some disappointment incoming. I'll be happy if he can come in, play a simple game and use his wing span/stick to break up plays, use his size to erase guys off the puck in the corners/boards by just leaning on them and keep our crease relatively clear while he's out there. I'm not expecting explosive hits, fights etc and I'll expect he'll take a couple weeks of games and practices before he starts to get used to the increased tempo of play. Still excited as all hell to FINALLY get a better look at him and his potential. Edited March 9, 2016 by J.R. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must applaud Benning for getting this signing done. Losing prospects of this level for nothing are horrible for a franchise. Now it's time to bring up Pedan, draft Sergachev and have the three Big Russian Bears patrolling our blue line for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedan - Tryamkin I'm giddy if these guys end up playing together. We already witnessed what Pedan can do against teams like LA, now just add Tryamkin to the mix. They don't need to put up big points; as long as they can shut down top lines and clear the crease for the goaltender (down the road of course), we have a bright, bright future.

Im giddy just thinking about having a guy on the blue line that might be able to knock other guys off of the puck and put them on their rear every now and then. Thats a big step up from the massage and wellness spa the current vancouver D is running in the D zone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I wonder if anyone on the team knows russian. I imagine it would be difficult to communicate during practice and in game situations. I know he has a translator for interviews, can he skate lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakanucks Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Anyone know how long it usually takes for the NHL office to finalize/approve the signing?? Canucks probably waiting for NHL's head nod before announcing his arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If he doesn't decapitate atleast two players from the opposing team plus a ref. I will be truly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have other Russians currently on the roster, so I doubt it. Pedan, Zhuk etc are out there but (Zhuk especially) a ways out from being on the big club. NT will learn some basic English (if he doesn't know some already). Probably benefit the coaches to learn some basic/key Russian phrases as well. Otherwise there'll be a lot of hand signals etc initially I'd imagine besides the translator helping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like this is how the top teams win now. They have excellent defensive teams, that can get score key goals when needed to make the difference. Alf has been a JB critic, but I do accept his plan is starting to make some sense. He MUST sign Demko and Boeser though. Goalie and key scorer.

I don't see him as an aggresive player. As far as fighting...it looks like his wingspan will keep him from getting any nasty punches. Looking at that video, the best his opponents can do is hit his upper arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
