[Johnston] [Still working on the return here, but the belief is the #canucks are not retaining any of Tanner Pearson’s remaining contract in this trade.](https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/1704248463003615641?t=YlM_spJniXJ3Lif_hrvsrQ&s=19)

ayo?!
please no big sweetener please no big sweetener please no big sweetener…
nice, lets see what we gave up for this, maybe after this we’ll finally learn to value cap space BEFORE we have to do trades
who am i kidding lol
As a vet, he should be able to lend a hand to their young team
2nd rounder gone FUCK
Nothing retained likely means a third rounder (at least) also going to MTL. It’s painful to have to do this each and every season.
We add a third and get Casey DeSmith
Pearson and a 3rd for Casey DeSmith, confirmed by Dreger
Lol some people in here jumping the gun on that second round pick holy shit.
Clears 1.45mill for a 3rd and gets a vet backup in the mix. I like it
RARE JIMBENNING W
Not a bad trade! Solves our cap problem and our backup goalie problem in one move. Don’t love losing the third but I thought it would cost a 2nd just to dump Pearson tbh
We didn’t lose a 2nd and got a decent backup goalie so we don’t have to rely on Martin/Delia. Pretty decent imo
I would be much happier about this if DeSmith hadn’t been arrested for domestic assault lol
Pearson and a 3rd for DeSmith
Clears a bit of cap, and we get a solid backup. I approve
I went to CapFriendly’s MTL page to see how much DeSmith makes and couldn’t find him. And that was because it’s been FIVE MINUTES since the deal was confirmed and they’ve already got that wonderful site updated!
Dang not bad. Desmith is a solid #2.
That’s a tidy piece of business.
Gets us a solid backup, sheds cap, and let’s Pearson play where he can have a fresh start. The third pick is also in 2025 (and we better be good-ish by then). Well done!
Great trade. Addition by subtraction with Pearson gone. We have younger wingers ready to take his place. DeSmith is decent veteran backup option while we let Silvos marinate and we dont have to rely on Delia/Martin as much.
Rutherford salivating as we speak.
This is fucking solid tbh. Glad Pearson is gone, no more random passes to the slot from behind the net when nobody’s there, and honestly he was a dead link imo with out team… Horvat was the one that kept him around wasn’t he?
I would have given him up for empty future considerations tbh. We got a solid back up in the mix while we’re at it!
I still think Pearson can be a solid piece to a team, and he has his moments. I think a new change for him will be solid, wish him the best.
TBH glad it wasn’t Myers. I think the issues with Myers can be fixed a lot and worked on, and it’s his contract year. He will inevitably play better this year with less minutes and it being his contract year with real NHL defensemen and a real defensive system. We’d feel it big time without him.
Solid work Jimmy & Pat.
Activated straight the fuck outta town
He needed to go. Overdue, well done
Based on my Capfriendly Armchair GM this solves the cap problem with about 400k to spare depending on your configuration.
So I’m thinking that we see Irwin waived before the start of the season, and we see Wolanin and one of Brisebois, Juulsen, or Hirose (if he has a REALLY good showing at camp since he’s waiver exempt) up with the team on opening day. My money’s on Juulsen between the fact that he’s a RD and probably the most likely to get claimed.
Little Ricky D out here predicting the future
If you look at Pearson’s last 30 games, he’s WAY below NHL caliber. I still have zero clue to why Jimbo signed a guy with two career 20 goal seasons to a 3 year $9m contract.
​
His idiocy will haunt this club for decades
Habs reddit sums it up best: not to diss Pearson or DeSmith but it’s a 3rd for 1.5 in cap space. Fair market value and better than Dick last year.
Habs fans love the trade since it’s futures in for a backup not fitting their timeline. We’re ok with the trade because we have to be.
But man, can there be a time where we DON’T have to burn picks right before the season from self-inflicted screwups?
This is the THIRD TIME Rutherford has traded Tanner Pearson. I can’t help but laugh. I wish him all the best in Montreal.
Understandable, have a nice day 😎✌️
Jim Rutherford got ~~rid~~ of his man
I like this trade a lot.
Ha. All the meltdowners in this sub is so funny. We’re always in cap hell!1!11 okay pal talk to the 300k cap space
The third was to remind Pearson that this is the 3rd time Rutherford has traded him.
Wow I thought it was Pearson for Desmith straight up and was over the moon for a minute. Even then the 3rd isn’t that bad of a sweetener, and the Canucks are doing right by Pearson here as he didn’t want to be here anymore.
That’s…a good trade.
Ryan Kesler —-> Jared McCann —-> Erik Gudbranson —-> Tanner Pearson —-> Casey DeSmith
(for those of you keeping score)
Glad we got some cap space. Sucks about the pick but DeSmith has some decent history with the Penguins so Allvin definitely got a player he likes. You can never have enough good goalies?
I’m fine with this trade we have more cap space but Tanner Pearson is def gonna come back n score a hatrick the day we play against mtl

Pearson was a slug on the ice. Won’t miss him one bit.
Org seems to be keen on adding overall depth. When Demko goes down we have DeSmith, Martin and Silovs.
Who needs picks anyway.
You get a draft pick and you get a draft pick!!!! Everyone gets a motherfucking draft pick!!!! Yeesh. DeSmith is a better backup then Martin and I’m glad Pearson isn’t on the team anymore because he was absolutely awful before his injury but man giving away draft picks like this is a killer.
This trade actually has me trusting AV and Rutherford a lot more than Benning already. It’s a trade that makes sense for both teams. The Canadiens were without a doubt starting with Allen and Primeau this season. Canucks pick up a wildcard trade piece in Casey DeSmith for the trade deadline. Worst case scenario, he ends up having to lace up for the big club… and that’s not a bad problem to have. The Canadiens needed to add a bit of depth down the left side, and Pearson will slot in nicely on the first or second line.
