Would only save us about $1M (or whatever the max amount is for guys in the AHL), so I imagine this only happens if he's genuinely not good enough to make the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson has to make the effort to play, or insurance won’t cover his salary when the season starts. He will be on LTIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty simple actually. We are in deep poop if he plays, because of the salary cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If Pearson returns, does that mean Hogz stays in Abby? Maybe Podkolzin as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If Tanner can make the team, he should play. He has more value in the bottom 6, than a lot of other players. He might even be good enough to play alongside Miller, bringing some grit to the line. Beau($4.15m) is not suited for the bottom 6, so if he can't make the top 6, I hope they can trade him; maybe giving Hogs a chance. They can still move a couple of guys to Abby as well if needed. Kuzy Pete Mik Hogs Miller Bo Pears Suter Gar Josh Blue Pods Dries Very interchangeable group of Ws. Lots of lineup options. I like the lunch bucket approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, he's not on the (cap friendly) roster. He will have the same chance as everyone else at training camp, but he'll have his work cut out for him. Being waiver exempt will make it even harder (much like Podz). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your constant disrespect for Garland is getting old. Have a look at my post in the Garland thread; maybe you'll learn something. Yeah, yeah...he didn't perform as well as he should; just like some of the other players. He is a determined little ****** so I have no doubt he will return to camp, ready to play and will to do what needs to be done for his team. Beau is the easiest player to be traded, due to his 1yr contract. Even with a small retention, the remainder cap space will make room for Pears' contract. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau is the easiest player to be traded, due to his 1yr contract. Even with a small retention, the remainder cap space will make room for Pears' contract. Even without Pearson coming back we really needed to trade one of Beauvillier/Boeser/Garland as none of them are really suited to a 3rd line role, especially now that it's going to have more of a match-up/checking center. Now if Pearson is actually close it puts that much more pressure to get it done just to be cap compliant. I also agree with you that Pearson is better suited to the 3rd line than any of the aforementioned players if actually healthy. Beauvillier's expiring contract theoretically should make him the easiest of the 3 to move but you never know and I'm still in the boat of trading whoever they get the best return for/have to pay the least to dump.

250Integra Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Mikheyev-Pettersson-Kuzmenko Beauvillier-Miller-Boeser Pearson-Blueger-Garland Podkolzin-Suter-Joshua One or two of Aman, PDG, and Hoglander in a reserve spot. Going to be an interesting and competitive training camp for the forwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Its just a scrimmage and drills, but he looks very rusty. He looks like he has heavy skates, the skating and likely fitness is not up to par after taking a full year off of hockey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson missed most of last season.. Pearson 31 years old now and his speed has never been good.. I don't see Pearson making the team.. Mikheyev-Pettersson-Kuzmenko Hoglander -Miller- Boeser Podkolzin - Blueger- Garland Beauvillier -Suter-Joshua Hoglander with his speed and new coach with fresh start has something to prove.. Hoglander plays with grit and speed and will have fans surprised this camp.. Hoglander GP 75 - G 18 - PTS 38 Podkolzin 22 - 6'1 -205 -- Will also be much improved and ready to take on bigger role,,, 13.Aman C/W. 14 Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
