The Seattle Kraken have been eagerly awaiting the return of Brandon Tanev, and it looks like he could be back soon. Tanev has been out since early February due to a lower-body injury, but he’s been skating and is close to returning. His return could be a huge boost for the Kraken, who have been struggling to find consistent scoring.
Tanev is a versatile forward who can play both center and wing. He’s also a strong two-way player who can help the Kraken in all three zones. He’s a good skater with a strong shot, and he’s not afraid to go to the dirty areas to make plays. He’s also a physical player who can help the Kraken win battles along the boards and in front of the net.
Tanev’s return could give the Kraken a much-needed spark, but the team must also be more aggressive if they want to make the playoffs. The Kraken have been too passive at times, which has led to them giving up too many scoring chances. They need to be more aggressive on the forecheck and in the defensive zone, and they need to be more willing to take risks in order to create scoring chances.
The Kraken have the talent to make the playoffs, but they need to be more aggressive if they want to take advantage of Tanev’s return. He can help the team in many ways, but they must also take it upon themselves to increase their aggressiveness if they want to make a deep run in the postseason.
