Scouting Report
Trineyev is considered to be a forward who plays a classic power forward game, using his big 6-foot-3 frame to bully his way around the ice, getting into the dirty areas to score goals or laying down hits to give the opponent something to think about.
His skating and shot are relatively raw but can support his game plan. His compete level is considered very high as is his willingness to go into the dirty areas despite, being physically immature.
Offensively, he is considered to have a high IQ and is willing to provide screens and forecheck. He consistently supports forwards when he does not have the puck and can get open in dangerous areas.
On the defensive side, he can get sucked in low and leave the point man open. He seems to have the mentality of a center. While he can get out of position, he’ll show effort in the defensive zone.
