| Nikita Tryamkin | D | 1994-08-04 | 20 | KHL / Avtomobilist | 53 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 0.11 | 6 | 55 | 1.04 | 1.82% | 35 | 14:31 | 7 |
- Nikita Tryamkin played in 4 games and scored 1 assist, earned a +2, 2 PIMs, and saw a slight increase in save percentage. Hockeys Future has this scouting report on Tryamkin:
The Russian giant (6’7”, 230 lbs.) was a bit of a surprise last year at the NHL Draft as it’s unusual for a player passed over twice to be drafted that high (third round, 66th overall). But it had been rumored that many NHL teams were interested in drafting Tryamkin, so the Canucks had to play the Tryamkin card as early as possible. Unfortunately for the Canucks, Tryamkin hasn’t progressed much since the draft and his time on ice in the KHL is slightly lower when compared to last season. Tryamkin’s deal with Avtomobilist will run out in April of 2016, so the huge defender still has time to show that Vancouver made the right move in spending a third round pick on him.
