As we all know by now, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a hole at right defence. As they seek to become a bona fide contender, they want to add someone to play with either Corsi superstar Jake Gardiner or glass cannon Morgan Rielly (Nikita Zaitsev will pair with the other.) So they’re in the market for a back-end upgrade.
Enter Chris Tanev.
Who is Chris Tanev?
Chris Tanev, whose name I will misspell as Christ Anev at least once in this piece, is a right-shooting defenceman currently playing for the Vancouver Canucks.
