Lol there's not a single Kings fan who wouldn't take a mid 20s first over what they ended up getting. And Pearson is half the player Toffoli is. He was a cap dump until rounding into mid 6 tweener form recently
If there aren't, they're idiots. I would trade Toronto's 1st for Madden and a 2nd in a heartbeat. If they win the division, I might even do it for Madden straight up.

What Canucks fans get wrong is that Toffoli doesn't set the market any more than Forsberg for Erat set the market. It's just two idiot GM's making bad trades trying to save their jobs.

Pearson has scored at a 25 goal pace since he got to Van, he's been good value at his cap hit since arriving and has never been a cap dump for us.

He's too old for us to re-sign, he's probably going to get overpaid on his next contract, and we suck this year so may as well sell him.

He's not worth a 1st even retained, that would be an overpayment. It's not impossible but it's unlikely. A 2nd is more reasonable.
