If we can get a regular NHL'er that is a win. I don’t think Tryamkin will be a game changer but I do see him being a very good #4 that can be a stabilizing defensive presence to one of Hughes or Schmidt (whoever plays on that 2nd pairing in the future).

He is more Hal gill than any of those two. He's twice as fast as Gill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably a 2M show me contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin? Is that guy even a number 2 d man in Russia? Yes first unit at the beginning of every game. Scored today in their 4th playoff game vs Avangard. Likes to play under pressure. First unit pp. Always plays defense first style. Edited March 9, 2021 by Hairy Kneel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin is fine as a #4 guy that can provide a stabilizing physical defensive presence. In a lot of ways, I think a pairing of Hughes and Tryamkin would be able to cover each others’ deficiencies quite effectively. If the Canucks can find a way to come up with the following pairings for next season: xxxx-Schmidt Hughes-Tryamkin Juolevi-Myers (Rathbone or Juolevi as the 7th dman) then I think we’ll be in decent shape. FWIW - my hope is that the Canucks can make a trade for Hampus Lindholm and then extend him after July 1st. I'm really liking Hamonic. I thought he was a dud after his first 10 games, but he has impressed me. Physical. Good passing. I think he'd be good to hang onto at a reasonable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not holding my breath - but he certainly deserves a chance to prove himself. If nothing else he could be used as a sweetener in a trade. Which reports? Source?

The sources that I’ve looked at all indicate that Tryamkin has take a significant step forward: https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/01/snapshots-ullmark-tryamkin-thornton.html QUOTE: The Vancouver Canucks have a very interesting relationship with Russian defenseman Nikita Tryamkin, who is still playing in the KHL despite a long negotiation last year. The 26-year-old defender is still technically a restricted free agent and can only sign with the Canucks if he chooses to return to the NHL. Now, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN gives an update on the situation and spoke with Yekaterinburg executive Maxim Ryabkov, who expressed how much Tryamkin has improved in the last year, even calling him “one of the best defensemen in the KHL.” The 6’7″ behemoth pairs incredible size with excellent skating ability to shut down rushes and move the puck quickly. If he is not signed this offseason, Tryamkin can actually become an unrestricted free agent after the 2021-22 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
