The KHL and NHL are largely different games. The big ice surface makes the KHL a slow it down game, and where there is more time and space. You have more time to think out there. The NHL is a much faster game, and the skill level is still better. This is more 90% of the best come to play.

Well how long do we have to keep Weber before we decide that he is not "passable"? I figured that one out in 2015 yet he remains in all his glorious ineptitude.
The problem is that some here and elsewhere are projecting things on to Tryamkin and already trying to start "controversy" or whatever you want to call it, instead of watching and making informed opinions. Guaranteed he is going to be responsible for some mistakes in his own end. Don't need a crystal ball to know that much.
No one is saying that Tryamkin should be dumped if he's not a HOFer right away.
They are saying he should be dumped if he's not an NHLer after a few seasons.
Are people really wondering if this 6'7.5 241 pound monster is going to be able to handle the ''men'' in the NHL? lol.
Agreed. That's why I am saying that there is an expected learning curve and it will take at least half a season for the big man to adjust. Even if he didn't have all the extra obstacles to overcome, there would still be a big adjustment period. Add in the language, change of lifestyle etc etc and we need to give him so room for growing pains. That's all I'm saying.
Probably be about 3 games before the usual suspects start trying to run him out of town though lol

I have every confidence that Tryamkin has the speed and physical attributes to be a top four D-man. My only concerns are can he adapt to the speed and can he develop his offensive game. I think at worst he becomes a super fast Hal Gill penalty kill specialist.
He would match up perfectly to Hutton's game if he can adapt to the speed of the game.

Prime Hal Gill was a beast.
He just forgot how to skate and that was it. If you're that big, you need to be able to skate beautifully to succeed in the big league.

I am marking out so hard. Imagine following a weird no-name freak in Russian Juniors. Then your team randomly drafts him out of nowhere as an overager. Then he actually comes over and starts with the NHL team. This is one of the best things in my experience as a Canucks fan.
Even if Tryamkin busts, this is still super epic for me. Like the one career game my favorite WHL player Zack FitzGerald played with the Canucks.
Pretty hard to be upset about the youth movement JB and Trev have brought in, say what you will about their crappy trades and contract extensions.

They didn't really have a choice. We are cap strapped and the veterans are staring to become unplayable.
Said it before....pair Tryamkin with either Sbisa or Bartkowski....if he can prop up either of those two guys, he's on his way....seemed to work for Hutton earlier in the year.

The fact that he can play his off-side also speaks to at least some decent level of hockey IQ.
Really hope he's in vs. Jets as I have tickets.

Hahaha this is so accurate, and the most overlooked part of the youth movement.

His personality is showing and he can barely speak English. That's awesome, the kid is a comedian.
