Ilya Mikheyev Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 please 3.25M or under fine top-9 tweener while others develop; will still be a TDL asset in 2 or 3 years if needed, and can't realistically be moved for much this year. If it's over 3.5M+ a year , I'll be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeback_Kings Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Elias Pettersson said: Pearson has less points than Hoglander or Myers. I think I'd rather put Podkolzin on Horvat's wing and see what happens. We could get alot cheaper wingers to fill the 3rd line and Pearson is not really a 3rd line player. Would rather spend any additional cap on trying to get a legit 3C. Must be a really nice Pearson. I think they should be trading him. There are likely to be other UFA's to add over the summer instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is it will take at least limited trade protection also. They should really sign this after expansion however... its actually a tough spot. if they don't sign him now, Seattle could outbid us during thier 48 hour window to sign ufa's before the draft. i think signing Pearson only means we have to give up protection to virtanen, might be a win if virtanen gets selected.

Elias Pettersson Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 40 minutes ago, janisahockeynut said: Got to disagree with you on this one Elias Pearson is the perfect 3rd liner..........strong defensively with some up side in scoring......................2.5 Million X 2 would be where I have him If he was scoring like 2 years ago, maybe 3.25, but he is too up and down Perfect to fill in on a second line, but better suited for the 3rd..............IMHO Got to disagree with you Jan. We need more grit and truculence in the lineup. Pearson does not provide that. I’d rather spend the money and go after Adam Lowry and make him our 3C. Lowry has more points than Pearson, is a legit 3C which is a much bigger need for us than a 3rd line winger and he can also fight the top heavyweights in the league. I also disagree that Pearson can just slide into a top 6 role. His best days are behind him and he has less points than our 20 year old rookie. Time to move on from Pearson and the rest of the 30 something crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I wouldn't pay more than 2x2 for Pearson. He has been a .5ppg player for us, while bringing some strong intangibles. If he needs more than that, I'd absolutely let him walk. There are too many good players that are UFA this offseason, and hardly anyone has any cap space--More UFA's and less money to go around than last year. There are 70 UFA's with similar PPG to Pearson this season, they are not all going to get paid market value, some will have to settle for the 1 year million dollar special, we need to pillage that market next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deus.ex.makina Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 No thanks. he is a third line winger on good team and we need to save cap space for our big guns. If he played centre it would be a complete différent story, we need 3C too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s inconsistent in the goal department but he does everything else well even when he’s not scoring. He’s not a slouch in the truculence department either. He’s a fairly gritty player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 There are rumours Palmieri could fetch Bellows and a 1st. So why are we trying to hold onto Pearson and signing him to take up an expansion spot? Trade him and say you will circle back when he is a UFA.... and if you miss out, then just sign someone else who is squeezed out of a job by the cap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the cap dollars and try and go after a legit 3C in the summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
