Very impressed with Pearson. Fearless to the net, hockey smarts and can flat out fly. Drafting and development is what has me the most excited about the Kings long term success. It keeps churning em out.

In terms of a sequence, the agreement with Pearson is expected to be the next contract to be finalized amongst the club’s restricted free agents, followed by goaltender Martin Jones.
BUMP!!!!

So what do people think Pearson's going to get on his next contract?
I'll go at 2M, or Kinger (74) money.
My guess is they do a short term deal with Pearson.
I think it will be a short term deal out of necessity due to the cap. Toffoli is the player from which Dean would like to buy some UFA years if he can.
You are right here. Top titty not only has put up a 20 goal season, but he is actually turned into a board battler that has some snarl to his game. Wouldn't doubt to see Dean buy a few ufa years now.
I still think he waits on the voynov outcome before signing sekera.
Pearson should get a bridge to see how he rebounds from this type of injury.
Pearson skated after the Kings today, hopefully a return is near.
Too early to tell. Last year was really his first season and he had a season ending injury.Been pretty interested in Pearson since he started so hot but kind of disappeared after a little bit. I know a lot of people were super high on him but now that his production has leveled off, does he look more like he was benefiting from Toffoli and Carter or does he look like a legitimate contributor to T70L? Does he have much offensive upside at all or does he seem to be more of a complementary player who's going to be important but never really reach over ~50 points?

That being said, he had flashes of brilliance and is the fastest player on our fastest line. He has really good hockey sense, he's good along the boards and he can't shoot.
This next year will really tell us what you are asking grasshopper.
He looks like a complimentary winger, 40-50 points. That's good. It's not like your entire top six can be 60-point players. The guy has blazing speed, is great on the walls, and has undeniable chemistry with Toffoli and Pearson to go with the good IQ. And he has a gnarly shot. Zach Parise lite.
Too much is being made of how he tailed off before his injury, imo. No one believed he was going to stay PPG hot.
