This summer, the Vancouver Canucks will be looking for help on their blueline for next season, and their defensive prospect — the hulking Russian, Nikita Tryamkin — could very well be the right man for the job.
According to Tryamkin’s agent Todd Diamond, the blueliner is not only ready for a return to the NHL, but he believes he is also very capable of being a top-four defenceman once he gets there.
