Yeah I know he is now. You talked about last year. Jake also had 18 goals last year on the third and fourth line. Obviously I hope they’re both very successful but I am positive the team would be better off if Pearson was on the third line when petey comes back instead of jake.

Jake would be doing a lot better if he had the same minutes on the second line as Pearson lol. That’s a fact. He’s clearly more suited for an offensive role. Pearson is not as good as all of you guys think. He just plays with Horvat and benefits from it quite a bit. Watch him play. Gets the puck, skates in by the boards, throws a floater right to the goalie or does something else stupid. Very rarely does he actually make the play that will give us the highest chance to score. He is not better than jake offensively. Forget what the stats say cause that doesn’t factor in the amount of opportunities they each get. You can literally see it when you watch every single game.

Pearson is not a second liner. He played with Horvat and on the 2nd pp last season. Do you know how many times per game he skates in to the zone and with a million other options he decides to take a crappy shot right at the goalie? If he maybe had a higher iq I could see him doing better. I do not think we should resign him unless it’s for a good price and he plays the third line. We have other players that can do what Pearson does on the second line if not do better. A third line of motte Pearson and sutter will be able to shut other teams down and provide offence here and there. Jake is clearly suited for the top 6. Even then we also have hogs now and podz coming up soon too

My problem with Pearson is that although he’s a good player he’s more suited for the 3rd line. A lot of the time he just skates in the zone and takes a non dangerous shot on net. What I like about JV now is that his confidence is back, he’s more physical, skating harder, chipping in offensively and has the potential to break games open with his speed alone on a line with bo and podz

How was he in the game today?

Can’t wait till the contracts of all these vets come off the books and all of our younger faster players are in the bottom 6. I feel like we are going to have a bottom 6 that is going to be annoying for other teams to play against. Fast, physical, able to chip in here and there too. With the prospects we got coming up and who we have in Mack motte hawryluk and michealis, it’s looking okay

Honestly that would be really funny. Obviously though if the team plays great under green and makes the playoff and makes some noise benning will extend him. I’m still on the fire the coaching staff train. At the very least they need to switch up the assistant coaches and see how green can work with others better suited for those positions
