stawns Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Our answer to Chara LOL! He did play for Russia in WJC so he is not to be sneezed at. I wonder if he even wants to play for the NHL though. and played very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Let me give you a tip. Never believe a word a Russian says... especially some farm boy speaking through the 'translation' of an agent. If we go by history there's little chance he'll even show up... and if he does the great probability is that he'll sign one contract and go back to Russia. (That's even assuming he has any real talent.) - it's just plain stupid to take this kind of (unnecessary) risk. If you had a great pipeline it would be one thing... and you could take a risk... but the Canucks have possibly the worst pipeline in the league. - the Russians who stay and do well in the NHL tend to be city types like Larionov... you win the internet mrhopeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Big body. Kind of hoping we'd target an O d-man with one of our picks. Our defence prospects aren't great. Hope Benning knows something I don't Mckeown was my man.. Subban, Hutton, Tommernes...I think we're good on mid round offensive D's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamhuised Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 In KHL, 6'7" defensemen draft you. Well played sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 How are people not excited about a 6.7, 230 pound Russian defenseman, that openly states he wants to play for the Canucks in the NHL? I'm all for it. Worth the gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucksfan555 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Im pretty sure Benning wouldn't have drafted him if he didn't think he wouldnt come over the pond.. good pick.. Nikita is our chara and Gustav is our Krug? that would be something else #believeinbenning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacholu Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Didn't Benning say he is 265 pounds in his interview when talking about all the other prospects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No Russian...." It seems that Tryamkind has quite a big number for PIM. Is he just positionally weak and taking lots of tripping/hooking penalties? A physical specimen and just incurring roughing penalties? Perhaps he's fighting a lot and getting misconducts too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is "just plain stupid" is to call this guy a "farm boy" when in fact he comes from Yekaterinberg which has a population of about 1.3 million and is the 4th biggest city in Russia and is the city he has played all his hockey in. Also Larionov is from Voskresensk which is also where he played all his junior and the first few years of pro. It has a population of about 90,000 which hardly makes him a "city slicker" Thanks for coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Tryamkin made it into a May 2014 feature in The Hockey News entitled "The best players in the world you've never heard of": http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/the-best-players-in-the-world-youve-never-heard-of/ And that was putting him on a short list of actual players, not just prospects. Also been poking around Euro and Russian sites and seeing good stuff about him. Past issues were his skating, positioning, hockey sense, and discipline. In pretty much every area, he's either improved or sorted out completely the problems. Especially over the past year, where his improvement has been very dramatic. Some of the negative reports, especially those questioning his skating, are probably outdated. Recent discussions suggest he has worked hard and now is considered very mobile for a big man. He's even been seen leading the rush and going coast-to-coast in some KHL games. And while he's not an offensive defenseman by any means, his puck skills and shot are quite good (especially his shot--he's describes as owning a "cannon" from the point by several reports). Probably deserved being passed over in previous drafts but almost certainty has now earned this year's pick. Could have a real shot at becoming an NHL player. And his interest in the NHL and willingness to come over here is something I've seen confirmed by a few different sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I guess we will find out if the KHL can develop d-men better than the AHL. I like the idea that he will learn some of his game on the big ice and against fast players. I still prefer the AHL because of the emphasis on defense which is more spotty in the KHL. Am I right that Larinanov is his agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Some risk, potentially very high reward. I like it. This guy and Sbisa will bring some missing physicality to our defense. Anything more in the package is gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to read comments by someone that has actually done some research. The way he is works at improving on his weaknesses, shows that he is smart and highly trainable. Looks to be a guy that is very dedicated/disciplined and really wants to be the best he can be. Very happy to hear that he is interested in coming over to the NHL.
