-AJ- Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 In making this thread, I just realized that Pearson now doesn't have any form of trade protection. Not that he really has any value right now anyway, but if he performs well this year, that could maybe be something going for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks curse Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I wonder if he will just get waived I’m happy for him but he was already slowing down and that was another bad Benning contract - he had a lot of those in his last 2 years with the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran into injury trouble last year, but before that, every single line he was on, magically became the Canucks top line. Coincidence? I think not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has seemed to always elevate the play of the line he's on even if his own numbers don't always show it. Whether it's just providing a defensive conscience to the line or making space for the more skilled guys to do their thing, I think his contributions have often gone underappreciated. At this point I'm just hoping he's truly healthy and can get back to game speed quickly and not trying to come back too quickly. He could still be an excellent 3rd liner for us.

Pearson's been steady and consistent his entire Canucks tenure, and has been productive for his contract. He's got some great traits as well; toughness, grit, leadership, championship pedigree. He also seems to excel no matter what role or line he's thrust into. He can play with Pettersson, or grind on the 4th with Aman and Joshua. A jack of all trades ala Hansen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichterBelmont Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Wishing Tanner luck in his next chapter of his career. I don't mind the move since the Habs are my 2nd team....lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWMc1 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 He was a solid player for us. Always put in the effort. Must suck from his perspective. Worked his ass off to get back with the guys only to be traded. Thank you Tanner and good luck, hope you do well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckleheads Fan Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 A deal made out of necessity, the team had too many forwards under contract, and they were in cap hell. This will give the next gen, Hogz or Podz, of both a shot at meaningful minutes. Thanks for you effort Tanner, but most of all for your willingness to stand up for your teammates and drop the mitts when necessary. He was the toughest non-tough guy I can remember.

Canuckle Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Always liked Pearson. Even felt he had the best chance to land the 2nd winger job given his resume and being the kind of 'wall guy' Tocchet would really depend on. But oh well. Good to get a fresh start for everyone involved anyway, all things considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 seemed like he was very well liked in the room. glad we did him a solid and sent him to a team where he can play top 6 minutes instead of demoting him to the AHL. Better for everyone involved. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngould21 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The handling of Pearson’s injury was one of the many low points on this Canuck team last year. Good luck Tanner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a steal, but not overpaid either. Probably one of the few players we've had recently who just played exactly at his contract level. Just a utility forward who was kind of good at everything but not amazing at any one thing and I do do think his presence was missed last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reznor Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I know it's early, but Pearson is leading the Canadiens in points. If he was still on the team, he'd be tied with Hughes in 4th place. Is it a small sample size? Yes. But it still gives me pause. I said it before and I'll say it again, Beauvillier is the one we should have moved. Frankly, even OEL isn't looking horrible with Florida, although I'm not too upset about that loss as he just made way too much. It's a shame management messed up our cap situation so badly that we have to hurt the team just to remain compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked Pears' game; especially when he was riding shotgun on Miller's line. Very Higgins like. It ended up being a hockey trade for both teams, with the Canucks finally acquiring a great backup 'tender. I wish him all the best; he sure deserves it after the last couple of years.

I felt that primarily due to his physical game along with some decent skill his contract was never that bad. I only think he was moved because a) It was unclear how he would perform after all his wrist issues, and b) We badly needed the cap space. Too bad - would have also liked to see him stick around.

PureQuickness Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Pearson was a good player for us. He just got injured and people started to forget how good he is. I'm so glad that he IS showing why he's a top 6 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
