Yes, I am aware of this. My comment was in the event that both were declared healthy. Pearson is assumed onto the roster, but I believe there were reports of Poolman resuming skating with the team and trending toward a return (I could be mistaken here, this was a while back). If they are stuck in limbo with regard to Poolman's health status that does make things a bit trickier but I think it can still be accomplished without moving out a 5M+ contract. Just to be clear, this is theoretical and not necessarily what I would consider the advisable route. Having a 22-man roster, moving a player like Beauvillier (likely with some incentive attached), and filling all holes with league min. players is not ideal. Very questionable whether the resulting roster would be able to get above the .500-.599 P% range so the playoffs would be no certainty.
