Not surprised he got traded, curious what Montreal's getting (or dumping) to take him. They don't really have a roster spot for Pearson.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Hope they have traded a roster player in return ffs

 

[Static]

Curious how much Vancouver had to pay to move him.

 

[Petey O]

Lol k. Good defensively, has spurts where he's a productive player, but he's very slow at this point in his career.

 

[Bgav]

Finally, dont have to watch him play hockey

 

[BKarchitect]

That infection and injury was scary last year. Somewhat surprised he’s going to play again - he’s been a pretty ok player when healthy but hard not to see him as damaged goods at this point. Never seen a hand injury turn into such a serious ordeal.

Canucks had to do something with salary. I’m sure it cost them something to move him.

If I’m the Habs - I’m taking the pick or whatever and probably not counting on Pearson even making the team.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Cap dump?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

f*** yeah.

16 forwards
9d
4 goalies

No stars.

As long as they don't call too many men you're all f***ed.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll guess a second and Pearson for a contract in return

 

[A1LeafNation]

Montreal rolling 5 lines this year?

 

[Canucks LB]

Maybe it’s a player for player swap, Canucks get a cheaper cost player? And the Montréal Canadiens get a third round draft pick maybe

 

[FlameChampion]

Its amazing how much of a mess Benning made of Vancouver's cap. Not that Rutherford has helped that much.

 

[Canucks LB]

If the Canucks are not retaining any salary, I’m terrified, it’s gonna cost at least a second round

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Lol k. Good defensively, has spurts where he's a productive player, but he's very slow at this point in his career.

And "at this point in his career" includes missing most of last year with injury.

Vancouver doesn't have their 2nd this year, maybe a 2nd 2025? It would seem a bit outrageous for them to pay a 1st?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maybe it’s a player for player swap, Canucks get a cheaper cost player? And the Montréal Canadiens get a third round draft pick maybe

What type of shit forward do you want ?

A not so skilled shit forward
A not very defensively aware shit forward
A I'm not sure why you're still in the NHL shit forward ?
A I thought you retired shit forward ?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

If I had to guess, DeSmith is going to VAN and the Habs will LTIR Pearson.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Habs will definitely be able to flip him for a 1st at the deadline.

definitely

? Pearson has been practicing

 

[Petey O]

If I had to guess, DeSmith is going to VAN and the Habs will LTIR Pearson.

Pearson's not going on LTIR. He is playing this season, hence why he was activated off LTIR.

 

[Bgav]

If I had to guess, DeSmith is going to VAN and the Habs will LTIR Pearson.

Pearson is cleared to play

 

[Captain Mountain]

If I had to guess, DeSmith is going to VAN and the Habs will LTIR Pearson.

Pearson was literally just reactivated off LTIR today, he's not going on LTIR.
