Picked in the Kraken expansion draft from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Tanev has been a great supporting role for this new franchise. 15 points split between nine goals and six assists over 30 games is respectable for a tenured player such as Tanev. He was averaging third or fourth line minutes, about 14 and a half minutes a game. However, his advanced numbers knock him down a peg. Only a 45.3% Corsi For and a -5.4 relative Corsi doesn&#8217;t help Tanev&#8217;s case. However, the Kraken have been struggling this season, so it&#8217;s not all on him.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means Moving Forward<\/h3>\n<p>With Brandon Tanev out, the Kraken will have to find other players to fill his shoes. However, with such a small prospect pool and an already bottom-tier team, this season is going from bad to worse. Currently sitting at eighth in the Pacific division, the Kraken are going to need a lot of help if they want to make it to the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The only other left winger listed on their roster is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mccorma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Max McCormick<\/a>, but he&#8217;s only played five games with no points.
