[Proposal] Pearson for Clutterbuck

[AngryElf]

Taking a break from the Miller trade threads, I was wondering if the Isles would entertain a 1 for 1 swap of Cal Clutterbuck for Tanner Pearson?

 

(LW) Pearson, 30 - 2x3.25 Million, had 14 goals and 24 assists for 34 points last year in 68 games. Defensively responsible and consistent player who was a mainstay with Horvat on the second or third line in a shutdown role. Provides decent physicality but is better used as two-way option alongside Barzal and Bailey or Pageau and Wahlstrom. He is also a coaches favourite when the opponents net is empty.

 

(RW) Clutterbuck, 34 - 2x1.75 Million, had 6 goals and 9 assists for 15 points in 59 games. Is not a real offensive option but knows his role as a 4th Line grinder. Provides a more meat and potatoes style of play that the Canucks sorely lack.

 

Mikheyev - Petey - Podz
Kuzmenko - Miller - Boeser
Hoglander - Horvat - Garland
Joshua - Lazar - Clutterbuck

 

Beauvillier - Nelson - Palmieri
Lee - Barzal - Bailey
Pearson - Pageau - Wahlstrom
Martin - Cizikas - Parise

 

Islanders take on another 1.5 Million in cap but get better to do so, pushing 38 year old Parise to less important 4th line duties so he's not expected to replicate last season. Canucks get much tougher and give Hoglander a permanent spot in the top nine to prove that he's capable of playing in his own end. They also gain cap space but lose a strong two-way player to do it. The $1.5 million difference doesn't impact the Isles ability to sign Barzal (who won't get a massive increase on his current deal), but it does help the Canucks retain Miller and some of their other talent.

 

Let me know what you think  

 

Edit: Apologies for the wrong section, been a long week.

if we were getting Clusterbuck + a pick back it might be worth considering.

We've seen the cost to unload cap, and the fact is that we're gaining a significant amount of capspace in this deal for a Miller contract. If we do get a pick, it won't be higher than a 5th.

I was thinking maybe a 3rd? The one bonus of Clutterbuck would be that we could bury most of his salary as well. 

 

From a cap management pov this trade idea is good.

Pearson, 2023 5th for Clutterbuck, 2024 3rd?

[stawns]

Pearson is criminally underrated here.......not saying clutterbuck wouldn't be a nice add, but not for Pearson.  TP can play on any line, in any situation.......that's a lot more valuable than clutterbuck, imo

I think you misunderstand, he's in a lot of deals because he is still useful, and the cap hit isn't massive.

I thought this was a trade for a second

I'd actually be okay with this trade. VAN would save some cap, they have plenty of offense as it is, and could use a bit more physicality that Clutterbuck provides. He's only got two years left at a decent cap hit. 

 

Clutterbuck and Schenn - bringing you old school toughness that this team has lacked.

 

Throw in Miller's anger (and scoring), Lazar's hometown inspiration to fight for his team, and Dakota Joshua - and the Canucks could be a tough team to deal with. 

[KirkSave]

Dickinson for Clutterback. Sign me up! I like the proposal for Pearson too though. If we are wanting to move out some cap as the main objective, I think it makes sense. Clutterback brings a lot of sandpaper and would find a home on our 4th line. 

 

I do think of all the Canuck Forwards, he is the most likely to be moved since he can play up and down a lineup and only has 2 more years at 3.25per. I could see a team like the Islanders, who had a bad year last year, have interest. Don't forget they lost to TB in the Eastern Final in game 7, 1-0 in 2021. They were close to going to the finals and the makeup of their team is not that different from that club.

Clutterbuck is an ass****

 

Guy almost ended Boeser's career on a deliberate hit launching him toward an open bench door (left open by Virtanen btw).

 

You don't make that guy a teammate.

 

 

[Master Mind]

Not a bad proposal.

 

I would do it for the cap savings, but I'm not sure NYI would. Lou really likes his Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck line, so I don't think he'd split them up.

Let me know what you think 

So, you're proposing a 1 for 1 swap, no other assets, essentially downgrading our middle 6 in exchange for a 4th line grinder?

 

So, just to clarify, you don't work for the Islanders, do you???

 

 

I'm not a big fan of moving Pearson, just for the sake of moving Pearson as he is a highly effective player for us, he's just not a flashy player, which many fans on this forum seem to prefer.

 

But, if we needed to move him, maybe something like

 

To NYI

Pearson

 

To Vancouver

Clutterbuck

2023 3rd round pick

Maybe a few seasons ago. Not now. 
Pearson still worth more to this team than what Clutterbuck could contribute 

[KirkSave]

Clutterbuck finished a check that Boeser initiated. There was no intent to injure. Had no idea the door was even opening. It was unfortunate timing. That's it.
