RWJC Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Injury Notes: Pearson, Savoie, Rasmussen September 19th, 2023 at 10:00am CST • By Ethan Hetu CapFriendly has reported that the Vancouver Canucks have officially activated veteran forward Tanner Pearson off of long-term injured reserve. In their post on X, CapFriendly writes: “This is significant because it means that he is no longer considered an LTI candidate, and tentatively leaves the club $1,709,167 over the cap” even if they place defenseman Tucker Poolman on LTIR. The team could still be cap compliant to start the season, but to do so they would need to carry fewer than the maximum of 23 players on their active roster. Pearson, 31, is making $3.25MM against the cap and played just 14 games last season, scoring five points. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2023/09/injury-notes-pearson-savoie-rasmussen.html#ref=home 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integra250 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Good for him especially after his scare. Hope he can still contribute on the 3rd or 4th line. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odjickwillkillyou Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Happy for him and honestly think he will fit great in Tocc's system along with wanting to prove he still has something left. This could be a HUGE addition for us without even losing an asset in a deal. Also makes one of our similarly priced wingers expendable. I think Tocc is gonna want to see if he can get similar production out of Garly from his time in AZ before letting him go and I for one am all for it.

DrJockitch Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 He is already pencilled into the second line with JT and BB. RT really is just TG2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought they might keep him on injury reserve to not look desperate to offload salary (on him or other players) I am sure Tanner does not want to be sitting when he is ready and wanting to play for next years contract and his agent said to activate him as he is healthy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hoping he can remind us how good he was in his better years with us. If he struggles a lot, this'll hurt us more than help us. I'm a bit concerned we're gonna do something like trade Garland for a 4th round pick or something just to get under the cap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucklifer Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 It could come down to the wire but Mikheyev on IR could be an option depending on how he progresses, or a Beauvillier dump since he has the friendliest contract to move. Tocc likes heavy board guys and Pearson fits that mold, so I really don't see them moving him, which would be difficult anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocc likes heavy board guys and Pearson fits that mold, so I really don't see them moving him, which would be difficult anyway Mik should be placed on IR for sure. Apparently no plans to use him in pre-season game so best to shut him down and give him as much time as he needs to get back into game shape and trust his own body again. He could be a major piece that can shift around the top 9 and with his speed he’s pretty valuable to this club. No sense in risking him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When up against the cap, we are not going to get good value on whoever we move unfortunately, it will need to be a low return and/or add draft pick or retention on a useful NHL player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWATT Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Garland has to be hard for that trade list. Tocchet's style of play requires you to go through guys, (lots of straight lines) not around them. You can't question the guys effort - his motor doesn't quit. The game is only 60 minutes long though, and too much time is being wasted by some of these much smaller players trying to find openings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't dump any more high picks to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I'm happy for him, and he should fit RT's system well. My issue with him was Benning, the deal was classic Jimbo, a year too long and a million too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If Tanner can contribute the way he did in better times, and if there are no lingering effects that would constitute nights off on a regular basis, he could be very useful. One thing that's (generally) remained constant with the Canucks is injuries. The kind that keep you out for a couple of games or even five or so. He could help take bigger roles when needed. I can't forget his age though and the fact the league in general, is getting faster. End analysis for me is hell yah! He could easily play on a third line. Maybe fill in on the higher two when needed. Actually he could conceivably be permanently on the second if all goes real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexM94 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 i really hope we don't get ride of Garland for making place for Pearson. if we want to re sign Petey we HAVE to make the playoffs, and Garland >>> Pearson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise we're going to risk losing Rathbone or Hoglander on waivers. nope rathbone or hoglander will have to be on waivers to be compliant so basically either trade them for pennies or lose them for nothing.. i don't think any team will offer anything for them unless they are sure they can make their team as they would have to send them thru waivers themselves to send them down.. maybe you try sneak them down waivers early while team still haven't made roster decision and have no spots.. if we go with ur projected lineup we are going to lose either or.. if you are going to put podkolzin on the 4th line.. might as well just put hoglander there.. at least podkolzin is waiver exempt.. neither is a good fit for the 4th line in terms of their development anyways and you don't have to worry about losing hoglander or rathbone to waivers.

DeltaSwede Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Like a lot of you are already saying, if he's up to scratch, he would be a really useful player for them. I'd like to see him on Pius Suters line, who I believe will end up centering the 3rd line. I think Pearsons defensive game could allow Suter to have more offensive opportunities as well as really solidifying that as a shut-down line. Feels like it makes too much sense that there will be a lot of rotation of wingers this season but I like that combo on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 We have 14 forwards on the roster and Mik makes 15. Studs and Einsvei will get waived if everything stays the same until the season begins. That leaves us about $300,000.oo over. I'm sure they have contingencies.

My issue with him was Benning, the deal was classic Jimbo, a year too long and a million too much. Pearson at the time, was predicted to go for more. This was one deal that wasn't too bad. The deal Pearson signed before was too rich. Funny how things worked out. Every single line combo Pearson was on, got a bump when he played. Green kept his career alive, in PIT it wasn't working out. If he can come back and still play, 33 points doesn't seem that hard to do. Pearson is one of our better LW's. Who's actually better. Kuzmenko, and he's getting 5, and started in the doghouse. Mikheyev and Garland seem like worse money spent, and neither of them are terrible. Edited September 19, 2023 by IBatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
