Pearson didn't have a good season. He also had his second worst SH% of his career. Still, Pearson has proven to be a fit alongside Horvat in the past. Only thing Gadjovich has proven is that he's not going to get a lot of rope from Green.
Did you watch him when he was younger?
Yes I watched him with the Kings and he was an okay middle 6 winger. 2 of his last 3 seasons have been garbage, so I would be willing to bet his play is in decline. I don't see many positives to his play when he isn't putting up points other than not being a liability.
