Timeline
Anthony Tanti (born September 7, 1963) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player.
He was a left winger and played the majority of his career in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Vancouver Canucks.
Recording 81 goals in his first OHL season, he broke the league's rookie goal-scoring record previously set by Wayne Gretzky (70 goals in 1977–78).
He added 69 assists for 150 points over 67 games.
In the playoffs, he recorded 15 points over 11 games.
Originally selected 12th overall by the Chicago Black Hawks in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, he was traded to the Canucks in January 1983.
Tanti achieved the 40-goal mark on three occasions during his seven-year tenure with Vancouver.
During the off-season, he was selected by the Chicago Black Hawks as the 12th overall pick in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft.
He made his NHL debut with the Black Hawks in 1981–82, appearing in two games (no points), but spent the majority of the season back in the junior level with the Generals.
Playing in 57 OHL games, he recorded 62 goals and 126 points.
The following season, he registered 34 goals and 62 points through 30 OHL games.
At the NHL level, he had played one contest with Chicago before being traded to the Vancouver Canucks on January 6, 1983.
He was sent to Vancouver in exchange for forward Curt Fraser, a noted fighter also capable of scoring.
Tanti joined a Canucks team that had competed in the Stanley Cup Finals the previous year (they lost to the New York Islanders).
They failed to match that level of success during Tanti's tenure with the team and struggled to qualify for the playoffs yearly.
Following the trade, Tanti immediately became a full-time NHLer and recorded 8 goals and 16 points over 39 games as a rookie.
In his first full season as a Canuck (1983–84), he was chosen to the 1984 NHL All-Star Game, but was unable to play due to injury.
Tanti went on to set a Canucks record with 45 goals, surpassing Darcy Rota's total of 42 from the previous season.
Adding 41 assists for a career-high 86 points, he finished second in team scoring to linemate Patrik Sundstrom.
The season also marked his first of five consecutive years leading the team in goal-scoring.
He was also chosen as the fan-voted Most Exciting Player each year of that span.
Tanti's record-setting season was followed by 39 goals and 59 points over 68 games in 1984–85.
He recorded a second consecutive 39 goals in 1985–86, a season in which he earned his second NHL All-Star Game selection.
He played in the exhibition contest on a line with Denis Savard and Mark Messier and scored the first goal of the event.
The following season, Tanti recorded 79 points (41 goals and 38 assists) over 77 games, earning the Cyrus H. McLean Trophy as the Canucks' leading scorer for the first time.
He repeated the feat in 1987–88 with 40 goals and 77 points over 73 games, while also being awarded the Cyclone Taylor Trophy as team MVP.
Tanti's production decreased significantly in 1988–89 with 24 goals and 49 points over 77 games.
After being traded away in January 1990, he spent one-and-a-half year stints with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres, respectively.
After 12 years in the NHL, Tanti went overseas to play for BSC Preussen of the German Bundesliga.
Midway through the following campaign, he was dealt to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a six-player trade on January 8, 1990.
Over seven seasons with the Canucks, he totaled 250 goals (which ranked second among all-time Canucks scorers, 12 behind leader Stan Smyl) and 470 points (third at the time, behind Smyl and Thomas Gradin).
His 10 hat tricks, 102 power play goals and 29 game-winning goals all set team records, though they have since been surpassed.
He retired following the 1997–98 season.
Tanti was known as a skilled, goal-scoring forward and has been described as the first "true sniper" in Canucks history.
