Biggest issue is that neither him or Tanev should be the primary puck mover on a pair. It's hurting Tanev because it's not his strength and puts more pressure on Zadorov too.
Just not a fit as a pairing.

I’m really surprised by the pairing, to be honest
I thought Darryl liked pairing a more stay at home guy with a puck mover, and this pairing does not really fit the bill at all
