Pearson doesn't belong to the top 6. One play in one game, against the best player in the NHL. Lmao, ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 6 minutes ago, canuck73_3 said: He can play 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th line, he's not slow enough to be a detriment to the team, he’s solid defensively and doesn’t bitch. He’s a solid middle 6 versatile player. Teams aren't trading for him to play in the top 6. He can't play on the 4th line because he isn't fast enough. He is a 3rd liner who isn't very good on special teams. If he was getting paid under $2 million, I am sure some teams could have a spot for him. At $3.25 million he needs to be a top choice PK'er which he is not. Tyler Motte has more value than Tanner Pearson. Motte can play on the top unit PK, can play a 4th line role and can move up to the 3rd line. His value is $1.35 million. Pearson is around that value, maybe slightly higher. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_BOI_pete Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 23 minutes ago, Elias Pettersson said: He's slow, can't play in the top 6 and is useless on the power play. And he doesn't kill very many penalties. So, you are paying $3.25 million for a 3rd line winger who can't play special teams. So, I'm not sure where his value is. At $3.25 million you would want that player to at least be first choice on the PK if they are in the bottom 6... garland plays probably less special team than pearson. they are both 5v5 players. maybe we can't afford to have 2 5v5 players in the top 9 though. if some how we could aquire one or a couple of these guys, it would really help our team.

Copp, Marchment, Cirelli, Nichushkin, Asplund The difference is Garland can play in your top 6 and has speed for today's game. Tanner Pearson cannot play in the top 6 and is lacking speed. Also, Garland can be effective on the 2nd unit PP if he is deployed there, he has a good shot and is good on the half wall at getting around the opposition's defenders. Garland should be playing more on the PP to be honest. He has value there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cap space would need to be filled with a quality player any so it would be lateral at best. I would focus on Boeser/Garland/Bo (if re-sign is not an option) for help on the backend over a redundant Pearson move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why he isn’t Tyson Barrie level bad, is because he can often skate out of a difficult situation. The other half of the time, he’ll get outworked in puck battles leading to a scoring chance. His positioning also needs a lot of work. I’ve always said he’s a bit of an enigma, in his own end. He always seem to be roaming around chasing, getting caught out of position. Resulting the forward group scrambling to cover for him. That’s one of the reason why our defensive structure is so horrendous when he’s on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cap space would need to be filled with a quality player any so it would be lateral at best. I would focus on Boeser/Garland/Bo (if re-sign is not an option) for help on the backend over a redundant Pearson move. Of course, the bigger moves would be to trade Boeser and Horvat (I wouldn't trade Garland as he has good chemistry with Podkolzin). At the end of the day, I would like to see this as our top 6: Kuzmenko Pettersson Mikheyev Podkolzin Miller Garland Now you have to create a 3rd line. Hoglander I think would make a great 3rd line player, he has speed, tenacity and plays a good 200' game. Then you need a 3C and a complimentary player that can kill penalties because Hoglander doesn't kill penalties. So, there isn't room for Pearson. You can't have 2 wingers on your 3rd line that don't kill penalties. What is your vision of the team with Pearson in the lineup? Are you playing him in the top 6? If so, who are you taking out from the above lineup? Do you have him on your 3rd line over Hoglander? Or are you okay with both Pearson and Hoglander on a 3rd line together? Or are you taking Hoglander right out of the lineup? If you trade Boeser and Horvat then you need to get a 3C from those trades as well as some Dmen and you also have to go after a couple of UFA's in the summer. Problem is right now we may only get picks and prospects for Horvat and we probably have to add Rathbone to any deal for Boeser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more evidence do people need to know their is something wrong with this team? Just sickening. Lacking leadership. Bo is disinterested.
