You can improve your timing by training. He s already a defensive forward, which suits the best for a centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be a faceoff ace but he would probably be an improvement over Dickinson if told to start practicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bounced back nicely this past year, but I still think he's not what he was in 2019-20 and posting a two-year old highlight package only emphasizes that. Regardless, I like Pearson on the team and think he's a very solid 3rd line guy who doesn't look out of place when put on the 2nd line for stints. that 2019-20 year was an anomaly he scored 6 empty net goals If he did that for 4 years he'd be top 20 in the league, Like Sebastion Aho, 6years 22 EN goals if he did it for his whole career he's be up there with the Great One for the league lead but he did it once, and he scored 3 more even strength goals in 19-20 than he did last year, so yes better, but not much better than 2021-22 his +/- was better in '22 (I know, people hate that stat) and he played consistently on the most effective line in '22, no matter who he was playing with. I think 2022 was an "unsung hero" type season, while 2019-20 was a "Can't miss the empty net" type season he did seem to score a lot of tip ins in the 2019-20 highlite package that maybe he did not get in 2022, so maybe he was playing a more net front game in '19-'20 he is getting older though, so a permanent drop may be coming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Pearson 30, 6'1, 200 lbs - 3.25 million X 2 yrs - Solid 200 foot game - lack of speed and hands are not the same. With this Canuck roster Pearson could be on 4th line making 3.25 million X 2 years. Positive side with injuries Pearson can move up and not hurt team with good defensive game just lacks the offence now. Pearson played lots with Miller last season - GP 68- G 14 - PTS - 34 1. Garland 26 - Petey 23 - Boeser 25 2. Podkolzin 21- Miller 29 - Mikheyev 27 3.

IS the color guy still Denis Potvin? great player in his day, but brutal broadcaster Weegar pushes Tanner in for the second bump "What? I didn't see that" If it wassn't Potvin, the new guy learned from one of the best..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 good game for Tanner last night, took a puck away from Draisittl, pulled away from him, along the boards. Skate to the middle, shot on net. Noticeable for most of the game, in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogersTowell Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Pearson brings a very solid all round game when he's playing his best. Friday night he did so many little things well. Positioning himself on the half wall to provide an outlet and break the pressure in the defensive zone, he had a nice goal, he fore-checks well and throws hits. I like how he managed all of this while playing 4th line and 2nd unit PP. This is the kind of play we need from the bottom six, but in Pearson's case he can play all up and down the line. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 As much as Pearson has been a decent player for the Canucks, IMO, he will be moved at the trade deadline. His cap space could be better utilized on a younger player or for draft pick(s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he takes a chunk of cap, but given his playing style and the fact he could pot a point every other game, it wasn't a bad deal. But this season, he's hurt the team more than he has helped it. His last game was truly brutal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
