What could Pearson net us at the deadline? On pace for 50+ points, can play both wings, can play both special teams, reasonably young (27), signed for one more year after this season at a reasonable cap hit (3.75 mill).

No need to trade Pearson... the drop off is pretty huge when you think of the next wingers to come up. Lind is only ready for maybe a 20 game stint in the NHL next year. I don't want to see Sven or Goldy anymore.
I'd keep Pearson for another year.
If we're trading him, you'd be looking at a 5th round pick. The market for a winger is never strong. Everybody wants centers and d-men. -
Again, it's important to note that we're going to be running up against some cap problems in the not too distant future. I don't think we're going to see a scenario in which his value is this high again. At the very least Benning should do his due diligence and test the market at the deadline. If a team is willing to cough up a 2nd and a B level prospect equivalent to a Woo or a Lind, I think that's something he has to hear out.
