Habs Acquire Tanner Pearson and a 3rd for Casey DeSmith
- Thread starter Habsy
- Start date
I will wait for GPX to tell me if this is good or not
1 goal in 14 games last year....
Pearson and a 3rd are more useful to us than DeSmith.

Not playing around anymore.
Not too sure about that

last year he was victim of medical malpractice by Canuck doctors -- had two separate hand surgeries
should bounce back and find his typical 15-20 goal range (he's averaged 18.5G/82 games for his career)
with those numbers, and his size, he'll be easy to trade

if he has more than 1 goal
if Tanner is married to a 4'10 inch blonde, then they are!
GMs fall in love with cups around trade deadline time
I’m not sure if he’s married, and she’d probably be taller than 4’10”, but the blonde part is pretty definitive.

So… we have a lot of forwards.
A lot of youngins to Laval and back to junior?

Tanner suffered a lost season -- a half dozen surgical procedures and an infection for what was supposed to be a ho-hum three week wrist injury.
Understandably, nobody was rushing to take him off Vancouver's hands, but if he shows up to Hab camp healthy and gets off to a decent start, he'll garner some interest around the league as a solid middle six player with a 1.4M cap hit.
In that scenario, Habs can trade him sooner rather than later if one of our young forwards is burning it up in Laval.

Waiver protected RHP and Slafkovsky would have to go to Laval I think, and maybe a D if we keep 14 forwards with the big team.

I think it's fine. Tanner Pearson's a lottery ticket. If he goes back to his usual production as an ~35-40 point player prior to last season, we trade him near the deadline to a contender.
The trade is DeSmith for a 3rd round pick, Pearson's the sweetener.
