Confirmed with Link: Tanner Pearson and 3rd (2025) Traded to Montreal for Casey DeSmith

[The Real Timo]

Can't place Pearson... is he moar bigger? Can he fight? If he can't play does he go on LTIR? Can he be worse than Jake Evans on the 4th line? Or Dvorak?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'm actually surprised we got anything for DeSmith in the end, the market seemed pretty dead.

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

I haven’t seen Tanner play since he was with the Kings but I’m going to guess I’ll hate him as much as Gallagher and Armia

Most of my Canucks fan friends seem to, so you’re probably right.

 

[Jaynki]

Using our last retention slot on Pearson right now would be dumb.

Who else do we have to trade and retain on ?

 

[red devil]

Does Price's LTIR still count as offseason cap if we activate it?

 

[OnTheRun]

Pearson is old, hasn't came close to play a full season in 7 years or so. Obviously needed someone to keep company to Monahan and help with our man-games lost shtick. (DeSmith was a shit trading chip so whatever.)

 

[Captain Mountain]

The Habs rebuild is essentially just Kent doing everyone a solid. Players and GMs.

I'm confused, are you complaining about this trade? This trade makes a lot of sense for Montreal.

The only solid Kent did was for Petry in trading Petry to Detroit. And that was after getting good value in trading him and re-acquiring him.

 

[The Great Weal]

Who else do we have to trade and retain on ?

Monahan and/or Dvorak. But yes if there are no other retention slots to be used before the deadline, we should use it on Pearson.

[BLONG7]

So we traded Hoffman and Pitlick for:

2nd round pick
3rd round pick
4th round pick
Tanner Pearson
Nathan Legare
Gustav Lindstrom
% of Petry contract

Very nice !

And the possibility of Pearson not unpacking his suitcase quite yet............lol

He's been out for a season with a broken hand. It's hard to say how good he will be or not. I got a feeling he isn't staying on the team for long.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Pearson is there to make the trade work money wise for the Nucks, I have zero expectation he'll be there when the season starts. They'll flip him for another late pick probably or just waive him since he's healthy now .

 

[sampollock]

Kent loves to wheel and deal for picks. good on him. builds the farm

who would want him? Kent have to give a pick for someone to take Tanner?

 

[Mrb1p]

Told you guys someone would pay for CDS.

Good trade, I wonder if Pearson can get healthy enough to be worth a 3rd himself, lol.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

I smell a buy-out or LTIR! Too bad Dumb Dumb Bettman couldn't see that there are too many NHL "LTIR" injuries and Expansion could have taken some of those "contracts"

 

[Runner77]

Another top 90 pick for 1.45M of cap space? I'll take it!

Gotta think another move is coming, we already had a lot of forwards before Pearson.

So that’s the big trade LeBrun claimed Hughes was working on!

Nice going, Pierre.

No I’m not complaining. I just find it funny.

“Sure we’ll take Dach. Sure we’ll take Newhook. Sure we’ll take Matheson. Sure we’ll take Petry. Sure we will trade you to your hometown Jeff. Here we found you a job Casey”

All good moves, but those are all solids. Young guys fallen out of favour, cap casualties, taking less so the player is happy.

 

[HuGo Sham]

not a bad move, but I don't entirely understand it. Another 3rd? Hughes already has like 21 picks in the next two drafts. I guess it's currency to move up. Maybe they don't want to lose Primeau on waivers.
Pearson absolutely does not fit in with the high tempo offence MSL is trying to create and Hughes already dumped an overpaid clone in Hoffman.
There has to be something else here, or maybe they just buy out Pearson

he can break the big stories!!

6'1
Doesn't fight
Supposedly healthy
He's a winger. 257 faceoffs in 590 games, 39.3%

maybe at some point he uses some of these to make a move ??

If we eat some of the salary, sure. He's a decently respected vet still, on the last year of a fairly cheap deal. I could see a team take him for a pick.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Solid trade

 

[Treb]

I'm assuming another trade involving forwards is coming. Unless they don't care about waining Ylonen.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Dach and Newhook weren't solids, they had legit value on the trade market. If Montreal wasn't going to pay for them, someone else was.

I'm assuming another trade involving forwards is coming. Unless they don't care about waining Ylonen.

Or don't care about waiving Pearson.
