Tanner Pearson


Recommended Posts

This guy is really worth looking at. He is leading the OHL with an outstanding 60 points in 28 games. He's got more points than Nail Yakupov, the projected first overall pick in this years draft. The best part, the guy wasn't even drafted. Is he eligible for another draft, or will he become a free agent?

It is pretty typical to see a 19 or 20 year old ripping it up in the CHL. He could have been drafted in 2010, so he is 2 years older than other players being drafted this year, so naturally he is going to have more success.

It is not uncommon to see players like this: Justin Azevedo, Tyler Donati, and Corey Locke are just a few examples of players who were passed up in their draft year only to tear up the OHL. None of these players have translated their junior success into NHL success.

I'm not saying there isn't a chance Pearson can be different, but what he is doing isn't anything new.

OH YEAH

man Tanner Pearson is a rising star. Even if he's not in the top 20 or whatever, he's a point producer and it'd be smart to look at that rather than the standings when choosing our([TheCanucks]) draft pick. He'll be a great addition to the team and get us that much closer - that many more goals closer - to the glorious stanley cup. If he produces, he and hodgson could be the faces of the franchise one day when Burrows and the Sedins are gone.

a point or more a game according to elite prospects.
