From the Blackbook
"He is a good size forward that is raw with the skills and thought process. He might have upside although there are times he just doesn’t see the play develop so questionable hockey IQ. He does not seem to have the skill sets to make the little plays and passes that lead to bigger scoring opportunities. His skating and
shooting are average and nothing too much really excites you enough in his game. He is uncommitted to any NCAA school and although might be some offers, not sure it might be more of lack of then deciding where."
Although I am not wild about taking a goalie, this is the one pick that really doesn't sit well with me.

Wow. Thats a resounding review.
At this point, I just don't think the Wings should draft anybody named Chase.
this feels like an Aubry pick.
Does sound a lot like him. But remember when we thought he had some potential for a hot minute? Haha oh man.
Detroit – Chase Pearson, C, Youngstown (140th overall). Buried on a great Phantoms team, Pearson is a Maine commit with great size and hockey smarts.
He’s not going to make his hay as a scoring forward at the next level and, with the number of potential fourth-line centers in the Red Wings organization, he’ll probably need to do something to separate himself if he wants to make the NHL. But Pearson’s college career has been defined by his willingness to improve and play an all-around game, and those are traits that tend to endear players to organizations.
Sounds a lot like Glendening to me. Otherwise, doesn't really seem like we need to sign him if he is just going to be a "meh" player with no real redeeming hockey skills besides "listens to the coaches".

Pearson almost has 2x the PPG Glendenint had in college hockey.
