Nope. Bad idea.
Monahan is the answer after once November 4th rolls along and Dvorak returns to the lineup.

Pearson is tied for 4th in points on the team with 3 goals, 3 assists in 10 games thus far. Curious if he can keep that pace up

I dont think he ends the season with 30g 30a.
I do think he can be a nice vet and have his contributions for the whole year.
Comes TDL, if we are in a playoff pictures, we might be better served keeping him instead of trading him for a 2nd.
I always liked Pearson an although not a 30 goal scorer, on a 3rd line at 3.5 mil, i would be fine to keep him at least another year.
Him vs Armia, i like what Armia CAN do (if he would do it all the time he'd be on 5mil+ contract), but Pearson is much more constant and that 'you know what to expect and you get that most of the time' aspect is a strong plus for him. Perfect veteran for a 3rd line on a good team imho.

Worth acquiring. Tell your GM.

If you hadn't asked, I think most would not even remember he was on the team.

Good start to the season. Injured for a month a half in dec/january. Pretty much been a non-factor since november. Ok but invisible 3rd-4th liner.

Has flashes of brilliance, but doesnt produce enough offensively consistently to be a good 3rd liner.
Also at one point was turning the puck over more than I expected from a vet. The speed of today's game seems to be getting to him.

Started off great but really fell off, got injured, and has been bad ever since. He still works hard but I don't see why any team would want him even with 50% retention.

Doesn't really make sense in that case, we need warm bodies to finish the season anyways

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Very unlikely he moves, if he does its for like a 6th round pick with 5 minutes left on the deadline to a bubble team.

Is there any contending team that has an expiring contract that's of a bad player that they value less than Pearson?
I'd trade Pearson's bad contract for that bad contract, if it comes with a pick attached to it. Similar to the DeSmith for Pearson trade inbthe first place.

No issues with acquiring Pearson , playing him in the bottom 6, and getting rid of him as if nothing happened. Good soldier. Decent vet.

With that contract he would need to be 50% retained for a 6th or 7th round pick and you can get something better by being the 3rd team on another trade.
He will stay

Ir we take back a worse expiring contract with a pick attached to it. Like the Scott Walker for Johanssen and a 1st

Not necessarily, this wouldn't be a cup contender operating in LTIR.. it would be someone like the Islanders who are on the bubble but might wanna add some depth for a push.
