Tanev's loss is monumental to this team.
Both in his defending and impact on Kylington obviously, but his quick passing to the forwards is sorely missed.
Check out the highlights from the 9-5 game vs Edmonton this season:
1:10 Tanev starts the attack with a quick pass, then joins it for his goal.
3:08 Tanev turns a rebound opportunity into a Gaudreau breakway with an incredible breakout pass, turns into Kylington's goal.
4:13 Tanev reads the turnover, swoops in and sends a bankpass up for Gaudreau to skate into and the Tkachuk goal.
His breakout passes are a really underrated skillset on this team, without him our attack is much slower and easier to stop.
