Most of our D prospects are middle of the road, this kid has the potential to rise above the pack & be something special.
I like that he gives the PP nothing in front of his own net, and he moves the puck very well.
The fact that he's also a regular in the KHL already could mean we actually see him sooner rather than later.

Re: Canucks draft Nikita Tryamkin at #66
A behind the scenes look of the Canucks interviewing Tryamkin. He had JB and TL drooling at having a potential big man like him patrolling our blue-line. When he said he patterns himself after Big Z, Benning must of had a hard on. Getting this guy probably mitigated his desire to go after Tyler Myers a bit though .

The kid has a ton of potential for sure. Another two years in the KHL, time to keep growing. Sooner we get him to North America the better for his development. He should be ready for Utica around the time we have to decide what we are doing with Hamhuis and Bieksa.
Now if PK lite can have a growth spurt.....

Re: Canucks draft Nikita Tryamkin at #66
even two years ago, Tryamkin had some good skating and mobility for huge fella, he skates like he's 6'2 out there, along with having a good shot and loves to hit.ClamRussel wrote:Fast becoming our top blueline prospect.

In time he'll learn to play better positionally, like don't chase the player too much to the boards, stay in his proper lane etc.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Re: Canucks draft Nikita Tryamkin at #66
Probably my favourite player outside of Horvat. It looks like the two best players Elmer picked in that draft were in the later rounds. Forsling and Tryamkin are tracking like first round picks while the Fake and McCann look like 3rd rounders. Too bad Forsling was given away to the Hawks. Like they needed a free player

Ya, that's one that pisses me off. Right away, it made me feel like "that'll come back and bite ya in the ass".Blob Mckenzie wrote:Probably my favourite player outside of Horvat.
