Hugor Hill Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't really like this pick. A big defencemen who needs to work on his skating vs the fast puck moving guy in McKeown we could have taken with our earlier pick (snapped up by LA). If Boston's roster is any indication Benning is not a fan of the 'PMD' type of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 2 years left on his contract in the KHL, I really can't see him coming to North America. I was hoping for Jack Glover at this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 A huge defender with a cannon of a shot, Tryamkin is an intriguing prospect who has been oddly overlooked during two NHL Drafts. His size and puck skills are certainly interesting even for North American teams, who may have gleaned some good indications on his game during the recent WJC, where he was an important player on the Russian blue line. Tryamkin should work on his skating and positional play, but has some good intangibles. http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/nikita-tryamkin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If Boston's roster is any indication Benning is not a fan of the 'PMD' type of player. And we saw where that got Boston vs the Habs who did have the PMD. JB had a front row seat to this and still passed on the PMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I think we just fell into the Russian trap. We saw it for years with the Canucks, where we'd draft these obscure Russian players that never even ended up coming over here. I hope he pans out and becomes that big ogre like defenseman we need, but I'm not holding my breath. Sometimes it's just better to go with the best CHL defenseman.

Gross-Misconduct Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In KHL, 6'7" defensemen draft you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxiebrown Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Pretty interesting pick. From the sounds of it he is more than just a giant, apparently has some skill too. Could be a great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If Boston's roster is any indication Benning is not a fan of the 'PMD' type of player. Torey Krug??? (Seems we're drafting guys with particular skills rather than top CV's? Tryamkind qualifies in that discussion. And BTW, guess what we picked later, a Swedish undersized PMD, Forsling...)

The Analyst Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 i would think that if they hope to bring a russian into the system, that there would be a russian to help guide the kid, other than the amateur scout. is this a foreshadowing of bringing in a russian top 6 forward with our cap space? only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I see a trend in Linden and Benning bringing in players ready or close to ready. In this case I"m sure they know he needs some seasoning but worth the risk. Vancouver needs some bite on the back end. Crushing hits would be a good start. That said looks like they'll wait this one out. I can see Benning getting hitting the FA market and bringing in a tough regular defense man.

Provost Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In KHL, 6'7" defensemen draft you. ,,,nice! Not sure how many will pick up on that joke. I don't mind the pick, it is in the mid/later rounds like this that I think you really swing for the fences where you get guys who will be absolute busts or very good players. In this case the knock is that he might never leave Russia. If he did though, his size on a smaller ice surface could really make up for any perceived positional issues... his game could be much more suited to the North American game.

I agree with I would have loved Roland at 50 would have liked him at 36 even, but at least we got a good player from LA Vey is a promising player who is ready to make the jump, I have no problem with that.

alfstonker Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like this one too. He will be a hardened pro in one to two years just in time to join the "new dawn" players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgerKing Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 the canuck's russian scout sergei... which is hilarious that we have a russian scout because we havent used him for 7 years but we make him scout for us all year round LOL, I'm guessing he used his Boston Draft List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So too safe in the first round but too risky in the 3rd? Not sure I get certain peoples analysis of their picks. I would rather get NHL players with upside in the 1st and take a flyer on a 6'7" D-man in the 3rd rather than a flyer on Nylander, etc and a "safe" project in the 3rd.

We already have someone like him in Subban and I think there's more of a risk with those guys IMO. Whereas someone like Tryamkin is already playing against men and might be able to step right in when he's 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
