Its not really about Tanev's scoring. Its more about balance. When the Ducks D was most dangerous it was because we had Fowler, Lindholm and Vatanen each on their own pair. Tanev likely would mean Montour being on the 3rd pair much like Vatanen. Being more defensive in mind it would allow Fowler more freedom to roam a bit and use his skating more. At least that is how I would see it.I'm sorry...your solution to too few goals from your RHD is to acquire Chris Tanev?
Do you know who Chris Tanev is?
Ducks actually have a lot of the scoring depth. We don't need to add so much as upgrade. We have:I would think that scoring depth would be of more importance to ANA than adding another dman. Also tough to see VAN making this kind of move to begin with
Getzlaf
Rakell
Perry
Kesler
Silf
Rico
Kase
Cogs
Ritchie
and Eaves.
That's 10 players that somehow have to fit into our top 9 next year. Now with Eaves the situation is tenuous as we don't know what he will come back as. It's possible hes just a 4th liner now. Still, the point remains that we have plenty of depth. Our coach just doesn't know how to use it. There are a few guys on that list that we could generally use an upgrade for. Like Ritchie, Cogs and Silf. Cogs just signed an extension and Most of like what Silf brings to the table. Certainly there is room for improvement. Just not additions without subtractions.
