According to NHL pundit Chris Johnston, the Vegas Golden Knights would be a good fit for Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev. In an article for The Athletic he co-wrote with Pierre LeBrun, Johnston said the Golden Knights might be looking to beef up before the trade deadline.
Tanev, 32, is set to become a UFA in 2025 once his six-year, $21 million contract that he signed on July 1, 2019. Jonhston opined that the Kraken veteran would help round out the Las Vegas team as a bottom-sixer.
"It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Golden Knights pursue two forwards – one with more offensive ability, and a bottom-sixer to round out other elements of the team. Tanev falls into the latter category and may end up being the strongest player with that skill set available,” Johnston wrote.
