that list looks like something that you'd see on hockeydb, where they rarely ever update the weights of players. The list Breakers posted looks much more accurate. Hutton is definitely between 205-210

I doubt it. His college profile lists him at 200. I think he was listed at 183 when he was drafted.
yeah he didn't look 183 last year. He would have been ragdolled at that weight I think.

He'd have been a ghost. Also, there's virtually no way in the world that he lost 17lbs between his time in the NCAA and the NHL.

He's 228lbs.
Those are incorrect, it lists Stecher as 5'8 and he publically stated that's incorrect and that he is actually 5'10.
This was likely the same list Botchford had too during the young stars tournament. They have been updated now
Kuzma: Defence prospect Ben Hutton impresses Canucks
"Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said Hutton hasn’t looked intimidated, and adding offseason muscle to his 6-foot-3 frame will give the 210-pound Prescott, Ont., native a better physical presence in his own zone."
Hutton was 210-pound last season.

Not at all. Modern weight training can easily result in massive gains like that, depending on the individual's potential. My only concern would be can he still turn on the ice?

I thought that when Tryamkin first arrived to the Canucks, they measured him to be 6'7.5 and 228. Maybe I'm mistaken
Who did expect, that Chara would become Chara, when he was 21... Will be cool, if Tryamkin becomes someone similar.
Totally agree. 9 years for Tryamkin to win the Norris... he's got loads of time to get better.

That's our dream.
Imagine a few years down the road.

Have I not maintained Tryamkin has been a blue chip prospect during his time in Russia? I've always believed he would eventually become a No. 2 D if his exit passing improves (as he's already a defensive monster and has a bomb). Reading the breakouts and rushes (IQ) will determine if he unlocks his absolute potential beyond that.
I have him in a keeper league and have followed him closely. The good news is he has loads of time on his side. I wouldn't even think of trading him until at least seeing him through to his age 32-ish season. He's already better than advertised but there's always the possibility of a late-career blossoming into a Chara type. I still think he's already a good #4.

I think Tryamkin is 20-30 pounds overweight and looks like he barely skated in the off-season. Something is definitely off because his skating has regressed significantly from where he was a year ago.
He's a video showing how sweet his skating was just a year ago.
But he looked pretty bad last night. I still think he should get the next two games.
A week ago we're talking about him being a potential top pairing defensemen. Now people want to send him back to Russia after one game.

IMO - Pedan has looked much better than Tryamkn so far. He doesn't look like the same player who debuted at the end of last season. While I'm sure the Canucks would love a big, physical presence on the back end, but based on the pre-season and training camp, my #6 through #8 defenders (assuming Sbisa is #5) would be Stecher, Biega and either Pedan or Larson.

Tryamkin had a rough game last night. This does not mean anything. He might have had new equipment on, for all we know. He wasn't dreadful, he was poor. The team played poorly, too. NBD!
I think he'd go to AHL, too. THe Russian clause is in case the team gives up on him. I don't think he'd mind a month. Canucks are always getting run, how long before he gets called up? He might make it on durability?

You could tell Tryamkin looked frustrated at the end of the game. I think he knew he was having a bad game too. I'm still very optimistic that he can be a unique and useful player for us.
